Aanenson: Based on your recommendation, these were broken down into separate motions. The first one is the sign ordinance. There are specifically four that relate to the sign ordinance. The first being agricultural district. Again we've allowed some uses. Amended the code to allow uses in the agricultural district. The first one provides a mechanism that they can have a low profile sign. I don't know if you ~vanted to go through all these or. Burton: I think it might make sense just to take them one by one and go down as we go. Aanenson: Okay, so that would be the first one. So the motion would be, that first one. Non-residential sign uses. One monument sign shall be permitted. We could do it one by one. Burton' Well xve'll get to comment too. _ Aanenson: I xvas going to say, this is a public hearing so I don't know how you want to do that. Kind: I think we should do them one by one. Aanenson: Okay, that's fine. Burton; Yeah. Aanenson: So that would be the first one. The motion would be to allow one sign, 24 square feet. Again in the agricultural district, not exceeding 5 feet in height. Burton: Anybody have questions for staffon this one? Kind: I have just one question. Does this affect Rain, Snow or Shine? Are they A27 Aanenson: Correct. Kind: So this, so would this allow them to have a different kind of sign than what we approved earlier? Aanenson: No. As part of their Interim Use Permit? No. Burton: Other questions for staff?. May I have a motion to open the public hearing? Blackowiak moved, Kind seconded to open the public hearing. The public hearing was opened. Planning Commission Meeting- March 6, 2001 Burton: Would anyone like to address the commission on this matter? Okay. Sacchet moved, Conrad seconded to close the public hearing. The public hearing was closed. Burton: Discussion. Okay if not, can I have a motion? B lackowiak: I'I1 move that the Planning Comlnission recommends approval of the ordinance amendment of Section 20-1301, Agricultural and Residential Districts, Sub. 3. Burton: Is there a second? Sacchet: I'I1 second. Burton: Any discussion? Kind: Discussion, just kind of a point of order here. You just said Sub. 3 so you don't xvant to talk about 2 and 3 below there? The other sections? Blackowiak: We're literally doing them one at a time. We're literally doing them one at a time. Literally. Kind: I thought a. b. Btackowiak: No. I think one at a time. I understood each section was going to be. Kind: Okay. Seems like a long way to go but, xve can do it that way. Sacchet: Would it make...recommendation, could we make the public hearing for the group though. I mean otherxvise this is going to be a lot of. Aanenson: Well you can open them all up with the sign. If anyone has a question on the sign. That would take public hearing on the sign issues. Kind: That's what I think. Sacchet: Yeah, I'd prefer that. Aanenson: We can do it on the next one. Burton: Okay. Is there more than one motion in this? Kind: The motion was for the whole deal. For all the below there. Blackowiak: It's not for each section individually? I'm sorry. Burton: I think you should make each, one page. Planning Commission Meeting- March 6, 2001 Blackowiak: Okay I thought you, I'm sorry. I misunderstood. I thought you were talking specifically each section. Aanenson: That's what I thought too. Blackowiak: Okay. Well at least somebody. Aanenson: Well can I go back and, because I just explained to you the non-res, the agricultural one. The other one is the business highway one. Pylon signs. This sign may identify the name of the center and there's a typo. Of instead of or. If that's clear. Section 1303. Section 20-1304, industrial office parks. We're talking about ground, lo~v profile signs. It needs to be clarified that not every tenant receives a monument sign but it's based on identifying the center so to clarify that we say shall be permitted for each street frontage, not individual tenant because otherwise it's for example Market Square there'd be a sign every 10 feet. The intent is they get a wall sign and then, the monument sign identifies the center. So that clarifies that and that's 20-1304, number 2. And number 3 would be each business would get a wall sign and that's depending on their frontage. That business and that's how we've used that again at Villages on the Pond and Market Square. Also the Byerly's is set up the same way. They have a pylon sign and individual tenant so with that, ...industrial. Where that falls in. The ground profile sign also appears in the office park section which is 1304 so. Kind: Mr. Chair? We had a motion and a second. Do we need to withdraw that? Burton: Yes, and what I was going to say is we kind of opened up briefly for public hearing but if anybody wants to comment again, we can give you another chance here on this one. Okay. So then I guess xve could. Blackowiak: So what I will do is I will withdraw my first motion and then I will make another motion, which incorporates all three sections. So I will recommend that the Planning Commission approve ordinance amendment as follows: Division 2. Signs Allowed in Specific Districts by Permit, and this is per staff report dealing with Sections 20-1301(3); 20-1303; 20-1304(2) and (3). Kind: Second. BmXon: Any additional discussion? Blacko~viak moved, Kind seconded that the Planning Commission recommends approval of the ordinance amendment as follo~vs: DIVISION 2. SIGNS ALLOWED IN SPECIFIC DISTRICTS BY PERMIT. Sec. 20-1301. Agricultural and residential districts. (3) Non-residential uses. Only one (1) monument sign may be permitted on the site. The total sign area shall not exceed twenty-four (24) square feet of sign display area, nor be more than five (5) feet in height. Sec. 20-13-1.

Wall business signs shall be permitted on street frontage for each business occupant within a building only. The total of all wall mounted sign display areas for each business shall not exceed the square footage established in the following table... All voted in favor and the motion carried unanimously. Burton: Kate, do you want to go to the next one? Aanenson: Sure. The next one is typo's. The first one, 20-109 would be on instead of of. And Section 20-505, require general standards. Or instead of for. They're pretty self explanatory regarding applications of general standards so. Burton: Are there questions? Kind: [ do have a question. Last time we saxv the visitor packet, there ~vas also a duplicate in Section 20- 732 where it talked about business, central business district. Businesses that were allowed and I was wondering why that was. Aanenson: As a typo? Kind: Yeah, as a typo. They were listed twice. I'm sorry Kate, do you have your ordinance book? Aanenson: Yeah, it probably didn't get noticed so. Kind: So it wasn't deliberately left off. We'll catch it next time? Aanenson: Yes. Kind: Have you got the number? Aanenson: 20-732, right? Kind: Yeah. And what it was, just so you'll 'know. I'll just quick whip it out. It was page 1225 of the code book, and as my commissioners ~know I carry this everyxvhere I go. Aanenson: It was a use that was duplicated. Correct? Kind: Yeah. Aanenson: I know which one. Kind: You 'know what it is? Okay. We'll catch that next time. Burton: May I have a motion to open it up for a public hearing on this?
