<br />City Council Study Session - 04/17/06 <br />Minutes - Page 12 <br /> <br />clarifications and illustrations proposed for the new document. <br />Mr. Paschke noted that such modifications should assist with <br />language, interpretation and implementation among staff and the <br />public in clarifying areas currently ambiguous. <br /> <br />Mr. Paschke further noted that the Commission was focusing on <br />creative signage through a Master Sign Plan and creating an <br />understandable chart to provide individuals with specifics of <br />type, placement, size and maximum height for signage. <br /> <br />Councilmember Pust likened the new sign regulations as the <br />Planned Unit Development (PUD) for signs, to look at signage as <br />a whole for structures, and not the current piecemeal permitting. <br />Councilmember Pust noted that the City of Woodbury's master <br />sign plan had been used as a starting point and such <br />modifications should save considerable staff time in defining and <br />interpreting code for clients. <br /> <br />Councilmember Ihlan opined that her concern was from a public <br />interest standpoint, that sign size limits were not being relaxed <br />and to ensure that views weren't blocked or drivers distracted by <br />signage and that amendments would make signs fit in with <br />neighborhoods, with clear rules to limit that and with staff not <br />making decisions for which the City Council should be <br />responsible. <br /> <br />Mr. Paschke noted that on May 3, 2006 the Planning <br />Commission would receive the final draft document for <br />discussion and support and anticipate submission to the City <br />Council at the May 22, 2006 meeting for consideration for <br />adoption. <br /> <br />7. <br /> <br />Adjourn <br />The meeting was adjourned at 8: 11 p.m. <br /> <br />Adjourn <br />
