1. Roll Call
II. APPEARANCESIPRESENT A TION(S)
Brendon Slotterback-regarding Comprehensive Plan. Brendon Slotterback of
Bonestroo & Associates was present to discuss the city's Comprehensive Plan update. He
indicated that the review period for neighboring jurisdictions expires on October 9,2008.
He reviewed the comments received thus far from Anoka County, Lino Lakes and Met
Council. Comments received have been minor and responses given to each jurisdiction.
Hugo sent a letter indicating "no comment."
Slotterback reviewed the process to finalize the plan. The Commission could either hold a
hearing and then recommend the plan for adoption or recommend preliminary approval of
the plan with the understanding that a public hearing would be held after Met Council
completes its formal review, and prior to final adoption by the City. Since there had
already been public open house/input opportunities, the consensus was to recommend the
plan for preliminary adoption with the public hearing to follow Met Council formal
review.
Motion bv Commissioner ParuccL seconded bv Commissioner Wood. to recommend
that the Council 2ive nreliminarv annroval of the Dlan with the understandinS! that a

Meeting Minutes, October 7, 2008
public hearin!! would be held prior to f'mal plan adoption, which follows Met Council
review. All in favor. Motion carried unanimously.
Randy Haggerty regarding front porches. Randy Haggerty of 1835 Prairie Drive was
present to suggest that City rules might be changed to encourage front porches to be
constructed. He felt that neighborhoods would be perceived to be more friendly, if homes
had porches on the front of the homes. He suggested that grants be explored to come up
with some sample designs and further that the rules be relaxed to encourage construction of
front porches. This would also add value to the homes. Staff will look into the grant
possibilities and report back.
III. PUBLIC HEARING(S): None
IV. OLD BUSINESS
A. CODE REVIEW. The Commission reviewed a memo containing a summary of the
changes that are proposed as a result of its review process over the past several
months. The Commission directed that language in the sump pump regulations be
changed to say that a "rigid connection shall be made to the outside of the structure."
The Commission examined the sign regulations and determined that a definition and
regulation should be added for a "Pylon Sign" and a "Ground or Monument" sign. A
pylon Sign should be located ten feet from the property line and must be at least six
feet to the bottom of the sign. A ground sign should be at least fifteen feet from any
property line and may not interfere with traffic visibility. These changes will be
incorporated into the revision.
The Commission further directed a change in the draft to include a regulation that
illuminated signs may not direct excessive light onto adjoining residential properties.
Motion by Commissioner Pan!!:ell, seconded bv Commissioner Wood, to schedule
a public hearin!! at its November meetin!! to consider the Code revisions to
Chapters 150-155. All in favor. Motion carried unanimously.
B. BUILDING SETBACKS. The Commission discussed the building setbacks following
a number of recent requests for variances. The Commission identified the R-2A zone
as a likely candidate for changed setback. The majority of the homes were constructed
on smaller lots with small two-car garages and minor change might allow flexibility
for expansion of garages and homes. Consensus was that a five foot reduction in the
setback would be warranted.
Motion by Commissioner Fehrenbacher, seconded by Commissioner Pan!!elL to
schedule a public hearin!!: at its November meetin!! to consider a proposed
ordinance that would chan!!e the front-yard setback in the R-2A district to 30
feet. All in favor. Motion carried unanimously.

v. NEW BUSINESS:
A. CREATIVE KIDS DA YCARE-REQUEST FOR SIGN PERMIT. The Commission
received a request for a sign permit for a pylon sign to be located on the north side of
the property along Center Street. The Commission felt the sign would be better on the
north side of the parking lot adjoining the County road, but the Code would only allow
the Commission to impose restrictions that deal with safety and traffic visibility. Staff
will pass on the Commission's recommendation to the applicant that the sign would be
better placed if moved to the east end of the parking lot and oriented to CSAH 54.
Motion by Commissioner Fehrenbacher. seconded bv Commissioner Pane:ell. to
recommend approval of the SiD permit conditioned upon the requirement that
the siD be placed a minimum of ten feet from the propertv line to the center post
and that the bottom of the SiD must be a minimum of six feet above the driveway
elevation to ensure visibility and traffic safety. All in favor. Motion carried
unanimouslv.
