<br /> ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION - FEBRUARY 2, 2005 I3 <br /> Planning Commissioner Training. In addition the plan shows the Zoning Code Update <br />. for the months of March through August, the Property Maintenance Code being reviewed <br /> for the months of June through September, and the Redevelopment District Concept <br /> being reviewed from August through December. A Development Bus Tour is also <br /> planned for the last Saturday in October or the first Saturday in November. <br /> Mr. Hellegers indicated due to the impending acquisition of the TCAAP property and the <br /> potential Planning Commission work involved (establishing design guidelines, Zoning <br /> District creation, Comprehensive Plan Amendments, etc.), some of the items on the work <br /> plan may not be addressed until 2006. The priority listing would have TCAAP and <br /> Planning Case review as the top two items with the Zoning Update following close <br /> behind. <br /> Commissioner Holmes asked what the point of a work plan was. Mr. Hellegers replied <br /> this would help establish what they hoped to accomplish over the year, but acknowledged <br /> this plan was subject to change depending upon what came up within the City. <br /> Commissioner Zimmerman also noted they were going to be working with the PTRC for <br /> the gateway signs. Mr. Clark replied he was correct, but he thought the easiest way to <br /> start the process was to sit down with the Chairperson of the Planning Commission and <br /> the PTRC and look at design and material options. He stated there was a meeting <br /> tentatively set for Friday, February 11. <br />. C. ATHLETIC FIELD SIGNAGE UPDATE <br /> Mr. Hellegers stated as discussed at the December 2004 and the January 2005 Planning <br /> Commission meeting, Mounds View School District had inquired about using temporary <br /> banner signs that could be tied to the fences around the MVHS football/track stadium. <br /> While the temporary banner signage is all that had been requested at this time, staff <br /> thought it would be appropriate to create regulations for other signage opportunities that <br /> MVHS may request in the future. <br /> He noted at the January 2005 meeting staff presented three options for modifying the <br /> existing Arden Hills Sign Ordinance to include language regulating ball field signage. <br /> Based on the discussion from the January meeting staff determined the following: Ball <br /> field signage should be limited to institutional users and property owners and would not <br /> be applicable to City parks; MVSD is looking for more signage than was proposed in the <br /> three options provided to the Planning Commission; Examples of where signage would <br /> be located at Mounds View High School should be included in the presentation to the <br /> Planning Commission. <br /> He indicated since it appeared that there were still several details to iron out, staff <br /> determined that a public hearing should not be held until the March Planning <br /> Commission meeting. <br />. He stated staff had met with Mr. Nick TemaIi of the Mounds View School District and <br /> the Activities Director of Mounds View High School and determined the types and sizes <br /> of signage tbat may be required in the future. The main areas where sign~ge would be <br /> desired are the sponsorship banners along the west side of the visitors bleachers, <br />
