MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION OCTOBER 11, 2001 Keis questioned the need for Conditional Use Permits for accessory garages if the total square footage is less than 1,500 square feet. The Planner noted that the reason a CUP is required is due to the potential negative impact that a detached building can have on a property. The CUP process allows for City review and the ability to place conditions on the detached building. The City Planner reported that he did not have an ordinance amendment prepared for the Commission's review this evening. He recommended that this matter be tabled until the November meeting for action at that time. Knudsen recommended tabling action on an amendment to the Zoning Code relative to accessory buildings allowed on residential properties until the November Planning Commission meeting. Motion seconded by Duray. Motion carried 6 — 0. TEMPORARY The City Planner indicated that the City has experienced problems with SIGNS enforcement of the temporary sign ordinance, especially for multi- tenant buildings. As a result, the Council has asked that the ordinance be reviewed to determine if there are any changes that are necessary. The Planner indicated that he has been reviewing the ordinances that are in place in the surrounding cities. He noted that the City of Vadnais Heights requires a deposit for temporary signs in addition to the permit fee. If the sign is removed at the time the permit expires, the deposit is then returned. This deposit has been a good enforcement tool for Vadnais Heights. ADJOURN The Planner indicated that he will bring additional information on this matter to the Commission at a later date. Keis recommended that the meeting be adjourned. Motion seconded by Carson. Motion carried 6 — 0. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 7:55 p.m. Respectfully submi ted, Kathy Glaa'er Deputy Clerk Page 16
