Roll Call: Ayes: Nays: Harms, Rengel, Sandstrom, Wall, Wietecki None It was the consensus of the Commission that because the overall density was less than 4 units per acre, that a Comprehensive Plan amendment was not necessary. Chairman Wietecki requested that the developer and City staff provide the additional design details along with the additional information which will be provided by the School District at the April 12th Planning Commission meeting. (b) Planning File 2721: Signcrafters Inc. request for a variance to the zoning ordinance at 2105 N. Snelling Avenue. Chairman Wietecki opened the hearing and requested Mike Falk to provide background information. Falk summarized the past Planning Commission and City Council actions and pointed out that the Planning Commission had recommended denial of the variance and suggested that an ordinance amendment be considered to allow the proposed signage. The City Council had tabled action on the variance subject to Planning Commission review of a proposed amended ordinance. Falk summarized the proposed ordinance amendment. Member Wall suggested that additional language be included to limit the height of letters and stated that it is better to be more specific than to be too general. Falk stated that it would be difficult to determine what an appropriate size restriction would be. Member Wall indicated his concern about the creative interpretation of the language by property owners and the precedent it might set along Snelling Avenue. 5
