Ms. Barajas explained the Staff Report. These parcels were not part of the city-wide rezoning. Charlene Seils stated that their residence is approximately 1,000 feet from the OHW and that the proposed 500-foot Shoreline Residential area was not deep enough. Lloyd Wass stated that his residence is approximately 600 feet from the OHW. Ms. Barajas stated that if the backage roads are constructed with the Highway 371 project,the dividing line could be reevaluated at that time. Keith Anderson stated that he owns property on the south side of Blueberry Lane and that 500 feet is okay, but 1,500 feet of Commercial might be too much. The landowners were reminded that what their property is zoned has nothing to do with real estate taxes. Due to the depth of these lots,the Planning Commission would like to know where the residences are located on the lots. A motion was made by Mark Hallan, seconded by Bill Habein,to have staff determine where the residences are and to recommend the distance from the Highway that should be commercial. All members voted"aye". Motion carried. ADDITION OR DELETIONS TO AGENDA: ADD: 6. b. December Meeting Date. 7. e. Downtown Plan. NEW BUSINESS: Sign Ordinance Discussion: Ms. Barajas explained the Staff Report. She stated that the Planning Commission would need to answer the questions at the end of the report. It was the consensus to make it a larger sign for a residential development a Conditional Use Permit. That would allow the Planning Commission to review the size and landscaping. Thirty-two square feet and 8- feet high as measured from the ground was not excessive. Lighting should be downward, not spotlights. Setback from lot lines was discussed— 1-foot required in Ordinance but sight-lines should not be obstructed. Total signage cannot exceed 32 square feet and can be split up if more than one entrance. December Meeting Date: Due to the regular meeting date falling so close to the Christmas Holiday, the December meeting will be held on December 14, 2006. Mr. Hallan has a conflict on that date and may not be able to attend. Planning Commission Minutes 4 October 19, 2006
