...... LI.. <( ~ c ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION - JUNE 7, 2006 6 Chair Sand asked what other cities had done. Mr. Lehnhoff responded other cities used both Sign Ordinances and Sign Codes and there did not appear to be a preference. He . noted any change to the Sign Code would require City Council approval. Commissioner McClung stated he did not mind keeping this as a Sign Ordinance because he did not believe it was a burden on the Commission or City staff. Mr. Lehnhoff stated the only part that would not come back to the Planning Commission under this proposal was an actual textual change to the Sign Code. The Planning Commission would still review signs for proposed developments and any signs that exceeded or deviated from the Sign Code, Commissioner McClung stated he saw this as a zoning issue and those were issues that might get some residential interest where they might want to comment. Commissioner Zimmerman noted on Page 3, Subd. 3, the word perpendicularly should be checked for grammatical use, Commissioner Larson asked staff look at this subdivision again with respect to signage on berms. He stated with Subd. 28, he had a concern about signage on roofs being above the roofline. Chair Sand expressed concern with the wording on Page 9, under 1400.8 Review Process, "All permits not reviewed within sixty (60) days shall be deemed approved,". He requested staff clarify the wording under that provision. He indicated if staff had 75 days to inform the applicant of approval or disapproval, this could cause confusion. He indicated under 1400.9 Appeal Process should also be clarified with respect to the deadlines. . Commissioner Modesette asked staff to look at Page 10, 1400.11 Violations provision with respect to the fines and the wording "each day". Chair Sand inquired if the City had jurisdiction with signs in the County right-of-way. Mr. Lchnhoffresponded that was something staff would look into. Commissioner Modesette stated on Page 13, Subd. 9, it would be her preference to have roll-out portable signs as a temporary sign and not a prohibited sign. Mr. Lehnhoff responded he would look at how to change this to a temporary sign. Chair Sand asked how they addressed the amount of illumination of signs to prevent signs being too bright. Mr. Lehnhoff stated this type of a provision eould be added to Section 1400.15. Chair Sand asked how they would address scrolling signage. Mr. Lehnhoff stated that could be added to Seetion 1400.13 as being a non-permitted sign and he would work on wording for that provision. He also stated the definition for flashing signs could be adjusted to account for scrolling signs. . Commissioner Larson asked if they could prohibit scrolling signage being changed more than a certain number of times during the day.
