<br />" <br /> <br />ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION - WL Y 17,2002 <br /> <br />6 <br /> <br />Commissioner Smithknecht asked how much of the sign would be visible from Highway . <br />96. Mr. Logelin replied it would be minimally visible until they turned into the driveway. <br />He stated this sign was not to advertise the Church. <br /> <br />Chair Sand closed the public hearing at 8:57 p.m. <br /> <br />Chair Sand asked how many current auxiliary signs did they have on the property. Mr. <br />Parrish replied there was no limitation on the number of auxiliary signs on a property and <br />he did not know how many auxiliary signs where on this property. He stated this <br />auxiliary sign would not have a logo on it. He indicated the Commission could either <br />look at this sign as an auxiliary sign or a monument sign. <br /> <br />Commissioner Lemberg stated they needed to look at the definition of sign illumination. <br /> <br />Mr. Parrish stated the Ordinance prohibited flashing signs, but ifthe sign was not flashing <br />then it would not be prohibited. <br /> <br />Commissioner Zimmerman stated he would not want the sign visible from Highway 96. <br /> <br />Commissioner Ricke asked if it would be positioned so it would only be visible once they <br />entered the property. Mr. Logelin replied the sign would parallel Highway 96 and would <br />not be a distraction to Highway 96. He indicated seeing the sign from Highway 96 would <br />serve no purpose. He stated they had lowered the sign eight inches from their original . <br />design so it would not be obtrusive, yet readable. He replied the sign would be on a slight <br />berm. <br /> <br />Commissioner Zimmerman expressed concern that this SIgn would bc seen from <br />Highway 96. <br /> <br />Commissioner Ricke also expressed concern that the sign would be seen from Highway <br />96. Mr. Logelin stated the church would not be advertised on the sign and the main <br />purpose of the sign was internal traffic management. <br /> <br />Commissioner Smithknecht asked ifthe sign could be placed off to the side. Mr. Logelin <br />replied people would not look for a sign off to the side. <br /> <br />Chair Sand stated he was not concerned about seeing the sign from Highway 96. He did <br />not want to see the sign flashing though. <br /> <br />Commissioncr Ricke asked the hours the sign would be used. Mr. Logelin replied it <br />would be used from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. <br /> <br />Commissioner Lemberg stated this sign made sense because of the traffic backups that <br />occurred on Highway 96. He believed this sign would aid to good traffic management. <br /> <br />Chair Sand agreed with Commissioner Lemberg. <br /> <br />. <br />
