MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION MAY 12, 2005 could be to allow a business 2 banners each year with each banner displayed fora 60 day period. Knudsen agreed that banners are a good marketing tool for certain types of businesses. Knudsen again stated that he was inclined to support White Bear Lake's standard with an increase in size to 36 square feet. The Commission again discussed banner size and the consensus again was to allow 36 square feet with the indication that anything larger was too big of a departure from the norm shown in the survey. In discussing the number of temporary sign permits allowed and the duration of days, the Commission agreed that the number of temporary sign permits should be increased to 4 permits per year. The Commission also felt that the total number of days should be increased to 120 days with the stipulation that non-banner temporary signage would be limited to no more Chan 60 days of that allocation.
