City of Roseville - Planning Commission Minutes for May 3, 2006Page 8 of 9 Nays: 0 Abstain: 0 Motion carried: 6-0 c.Planning File 3628: Continuation -- Request by the City of Roseville to consider amendments to Section 1009 Sign Regulations, of the Roseville City Code Chair Traynor opened the continued hearing and asked the City Planner how he would like the discussion/consideration to proceed. City Planner Paschke indicated it would be best to start at the beginning of the Code – definitions section and to proceed through those areas where the Commission previously had made remarks and/or had concerns. The City Planner and Commission discussed at length how electronic and/or flashing signs should be identified and defined, and it was determined that the issue needs further thought outside of the Planning Commission hearing. Chair Traynor will make an initial attempt at formulating a definition based on the Commission’s discussion. Chair Traynor and Member Bakeman have assorted, general modifications that were briefly discussed, but the bulk of the consideration and changes will occur between the City Planner, Commission Members and the City Attorney outside of the Planning Commission Meeting. The Master Sign Plan is a new part of the Code that addresses comprehensive signage for assorted uses, like PUDs. Chair Traynor is concerned about specifying churches and places of worship. Member Bakeman recommended addressing requirements for churches and other similar types of uses using a phrase like “institutional uses”. The period for appealing a decision related to a Master Sign Plan should be changed from 30 days to 45 days. Next steps can involve approving the sign code with the modifications discussed by the Commission and subject to review by the City Attorney and approval by the City Council. Motion: Member Roe moved, second by Member Bakeman to approve the sign code with the modifications discussed. Ayes: 6 Nays: 0 Abstain: 0 Motion carried: 6-0 d.Planning File 3692: Continuation -- Introduction to Roseville Comprehensive Plan Update Process It was immediately agreed that the hour was too late to begin detailed discussion of the goals and policies of the Plan and the Metropolitan Council System Statements, but general discussion took place regarding the overall process and how to approach the various facets of the visioning process. Member Doherty raised the issue of Commission Members volunteering to participate in the visioning topics that interest them. Member Roe provided introduction to the memos and matrices he developed for reviewing the current goals and policies. General discussion ensued that reached tentative agreement that the next steps involve reorganization of the existing document without changing its content – content information will come out of the visioning process. Members Roe and Doherty, along with Chair Traynor will work over the next month on restructuring the environmental section as a pilot project to determine the feasibility of reworking the rest of the document. http://www.ci.roseville.mn.us/council/planning/minutes/2006/pm0503.htm12/13/2006
