<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION - FEBRUARY 2, 2005 <br /> <br />13 <br /> <br />Planning Commissioner Training. In addition the plan shows 1he Zoning Code Update <br />for the months of March through August, the Property Maintenance Code bcing 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 /> <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 /> <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 /> <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 /> <br />c. <br /> <br />ATHLETIC F1ELD SIGNAGE UPDATE <br /> <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 sign age is all that had been required 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 /> <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 sign age. <br />Based on the discussion from the January meeting staff determined the following: Ball <br />field signage should be limited to institutional users and propcrty owners and would not <br />be applicable to City parks; MVSD is looking for more signage than was proposcd in the <br />three options provided to thc Planning Commission; Examples of where sign age would <br />be located at Mounds View High School should be included in the presentation to the <br />Planning Commission. <br /> <br />He indicatcd since it appeared that there were still several details to iron out, staff <br />determincd that a public hearing should not be held until the March Planning <br />Commission meeting. <br /> <br />He stated staff had met with Mr. Nick Temali of the Mounds View School District and <br />the Activities Director of Mounds View High School and determined the types and sizes <br />of signagc that may be required in the future. The main areas where signage would be <br />desired arc the sponsorship banners along the west side of the visitors bleachers, <br />
