MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION FEBRUARY 12, 2009 area where the monument sign will be located. Given easement and visibility issues, Sheehan asked that the monument sign be allowed to be set back 2 feet from the property line rather than 5 feet. Sheehan also described the location of a directional sign along the property and adjacent to the monument sign. Knudsen asked about the utility pole and box near the monument sign. Sheehan reported that the pole and box are temporary construction services and would be removed once construction is finished. The City Planner reported that the Code allows for some variation on the size of directional signs. He also pointed out that under the PUD the two six foot directional signs are not an issue. The primary issue is the setback for the monument sign. Knudsen felt that given the nature of the street, moving the monument sign back a couple of feet would compromise visibility. Knudsen stated that he would support the Comprehensive Sign Plan Amendment. Pechmann reported that he looked at the signage, and noted that visibility coming from the west is difficult. Therefore, he, too, supported the amendment. The Planner noted that he would recommend that should the City have to do any work within its easements, the property owner would be responsible for any disturbance or damage to the signage. There was no one present from the general public wishing to comment on this matter. Duray recommended approval of the Amendment to the Comprehensive Sign Plan for the St. Jude Medical Corporate Campus located on County Road B-2 East subject to compliance with the recommendations of the City Planner outlined in his report dated February 6, 2009 and subject to the property owner being responsible for any disturbance or damage to the signage as the result of the City's working within its easement areas. Motion seconded by Pechmann. Motion carried 6 - 0. PRELIMINARY Mr. John Johnson, representing Pinot Properties, appeared before the PLAT - Commission requesting Preliminary Plat approval subdividing 565 Little HUOT Canada Road into five single-family lots. Johnson presented a revised ADDITION plat layout which addresses many of the recommendations of the City Planner and the City Engineer, noting that the biggest issue is the reconfiguration of the lot lines between Lots 2 and 3 and Lots 4 and 5. -4-
