• • MEMORANDUM To: Members of the Planning Commission CC: Justin Miller, City Administrator; Laura Kuettel, Council Liaison From: Deb Jones, Staff Liaison Subject: Planning Commission Meeting on May 27, 2008 Date: May 23, 2008 The Planning Commission has only one agenda item this month, the continued consideration of the issue of dynamic display and similar signs. The meeting will begin with the first of two informal public comment sessions, the other to be held at the commission s June 24 meeting. City businesses and commercial property owners were mailed invitations to this meeting. Notice to the general public was made by website, bulk email and flyer. Although the comment period is not a formal hearing, we need to use the same general format to make sure comments are included in the digital recording of the meeting. However, you have no decision you need to make at this time, so you only need to listen. Staff would like to request that you be firm about confining public comments to the subject of the signs named in the moratorium. Sample ordinances from six municipalities are attached to the staff report. We hope you will take advantage of the references given and read these selections in context. We did our best to extract the relevant portions of the selected chapters, but some essentials may have been missed. You are also welcome to seek out additional examples and email them to me or bring them to the meeting. Joel Jamnik from the City Attorney's office will again be present, to answer questions from the public during the comment period and provide advice during commission discussion afterward. We hope you will begin this month to approach a consensus about what is appropriate for Falcon Heights. As always, please notify staff if you are unable to be present for the meeting.. Have a good and safe Memorial Day weekend! See you Tuesday!
