Scott Pederson—Represent City on Advisory Committee. <br /> OPEN FORUM: <br /> Ann Beaver—Nisswa Planning Commission Chair, offered that a Chair or Vice-Chair <br /> can vote to break a tie or to cause a tie. <br /> NEW BUSINESS: <br /> a. School Sign Discussion: <br /> Rick Linnell, Pequot Lakes School Superintendent, stated that the school is interested <br /> in placing a sign that would advertise a number of different community events. He is <br /> looking for information on what he needs to do to get support of the Planning <br /> Commission and the City Council. The Planning Commission stated that Lakes State <br /> Bank was denied this type of sign for safety reasons. We would need to adjust our <br /> Sign Ordinance to allow this. Our Ordinance states "All flashing, revolving and <br /> intermittently lighted signs and all portable signs are prohibited, except as <br /> specifically allowed in this section. " We cannot give a Variance for a sign. The <br /> proposed sign exceeds the height restrictions. <br /> Mr. Linnell stated the proposed sign would be off school property along Highway 371 <br /> in the Park area or on DNR property. That would be an issue for MN/DOT or DNR <br /> approval. The Planning Commission suggested placing the sign on School property <br /> on West Woodman or at the ECF building on West Lake Street. No off-sight signs <br /> are allowed in the Sign Ordinance. There is a message board sign along County Road <br /> 11 and this sign could possibly be enhanced to include information for the school. <br /> The Planning Commission asked Mr. Linnell to come back with a plan. Mr. Linnell <br /> stated he was looking to see if the Planning Commission was willing to look at this. <br /> MINUTES 5 <br /> Pequot Lakes Planning Commission <br /> November 20, 2008 <br />
