<br />ROSEVILLE PLANNING COMMISSION <br />January 15, 1992 <br /> <br />Paget <br /> <br />4 <br /> <br />Cityls sign ordinance. <br /> <br />DISCUSSION <br /> <br />Discussion occurred as follows: <br /> <br />1. Contractor Signs - The commission concurred with the concept <br />of regulating sign size by size of building being constructed. <br /> <br />2. Directional Signs - Discussion occurred concerning temporary <br />and permanent off-premise directional signs. The Commission <br />directed staff to study this matter further including the <br />reduction of off-premise church directional signs. <br /> <br />3. Political Signs - The Commission directed staff to study this <br />further. Discussion occurred concerning state standards, <br />duration, and appearance of political signs. <br /> <br />4. Roof Signs - The Commission concurred with clarification of <br />definition of roof signs and to continue to prohibit them. <br /> <br />5. Real Estate Signs - Discussion occurred concerning setback, <br />snow storage, visual obstructions, and liability if these <br />signs are allowed in the right-of-way. Staff was directed to <br />study the safety issue further. <br /> <br />6. Seasonal Signs and Banners The Commission generally <br />concurred with the proposed ordinance revisions. Concern was <br />expressed concerning the release of balloons, the regulation <br />of windsocks needed for safety reasons, and enforcement. <br /> <br />7. Flashing Signs and Electronic Reader Boards - The Commissions <br />opinion was to work to eliminate these type of signs. <br /> <br />8. Window Signs The Commission directed staff to obtain <br />additional input from the Chamber of Commerce concerning this <br />type of sign. The Commission indicated that specific products <br />should not be advertised on windows. <br /> <br />9. Pylon and Wall Signs - The Commission discussed imperfection <br />and subjectivity of zoning ordinance, that signage is only one <br />part of visual clutter and that size regulations should be <br />based on studies. The Commission members expressed concerns <br />about allowing all wall signage to occur on one wall, about <br />regulations for properties which face more than one street, <br />and which have more than one tenant. <br /> <br />It was suggested that special meetings may be required to complete <br />the review and updating of the sign ordinance. <br /> <br />MOTION <br /> <br />None. <br />
