ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION - December I, 2004 8 Chair Sand asked what the difference was between a lherapeutic massage and a chiropractor. Ms. Muska replied she was not qualified to do any diagnosis and would not be involved in skeletal manipulations. Her business would only deal with the tissues. . Commissioner Zimmerman asked if she had considered working for a business that was already established in massage. Ms. Muska replied initially she would probably work for a business to get the practice and experience, but she wanted to be around her children, so eventually she wanted to have a small practice out of her home. C. DISCUSSION ON BALL FIELD SIGNAGE AT MOUNDS VIEW HIGH SCHOOL Mr. Hellegers stated staff had received inquiries from Mounds View School District about allowing sponsorship signage around the football and track fiejd. Based on staff's discussion with the MVSD it sounded like the signage would bc banner signs that could be affixed to the fences surrounding the field during the fall foothall/soccer, and spring track seasons. He indicated currently the Sign Ordinance regulates all signage in the City and does not provide an exemption for ball field signage. He asked should ball field sign age be exempted from the Sign Ordinance regulations and should specific criteria for ball field signage be established and added 10 the Sign . Ordinance to handle the size and typc of signage. Commissioner Zimmerman stated he did not have a problem with this request because it would be internal to the ball field and he believed advcrtising was a part of the process and there were financial reasons to consider this for the School and since the only people who were going to see the signage were the people attending the cvcnt, he did not see this as an issue. Commissioner Ricke stated she had no objection to banners being at the ball fields, but should they have some guidelines for it. She also asked if lhis should bc limited to school only. Commissioner Larson staled banners that were only visible inward were a reasonabje request considering the funding that was ncedcd to keep the programs going. Chair Sand stated they needed to recognize if there were residential homes in the area and if the banners were visible from the homes. Commissioner Zimmerman suggested all banners be taken down after lhe particular sporting season is done. That way, when there were no activities on thc field, the signage would not he there. Commissioner Holmes suggested they might want to take the banners down after every . game. Chair Sand noted they could regulate the timing and use of the hanncrs instcad of banning them completely.
