MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION JANUARY 8, 1998 Schletty asked what Roseville's policy was for off - premise signs. The Planner stated that it would be his guess that most cities restrict off - premise signs, but do not enforce these restrictions. Barraclough pointed out that some signs are erected in such a way as to block visibility at intersections and become a safety hazard. Schletty pointed out that open house signs are only up temporarily. The Planner indicated that there are homes for sale by owners that may allow viewing at any time. These open house signs could be up for very long periods of time. Schletty suggested that the Commission deal with the CUP request from Masterpiece Homes at this time. Schletty suggested that the ordinance amendment be tabled until more information is obtained from other cities as to how they handle these signs. Montour suggested that the signs be allowed at Eli Road/Centerville Road and at Eli Road/DeSoto Street until such time as Allen Avenue goes all the way through. Gordie Howe reported that the road should be all the way through and blacktopped in the Spring. Montour reported that he lives across the street from Pitrina Park and there is not much traffic to and from the development. Montour reported that he had no objections to the signs being proposed. He also indicated that once Allen Avenue is all the way through to Centerville, the traffic on DeSoto Street should pretty much go away. Keis questioned whether property owners at the sign locations would want to see these signs for the next two years. The Planner pointed out that off - premise signs cannot be put up without the property owner's permission. The Planner pointed out that there are two issues being considered. The first is the request for a CUP to place signs in the locations outlined on private property if the permission of the property owners can be obtained. The second issue is a text amendment that would allow these signs to be placed in the road right -of -way. Schletty stated that he would assume that these business people would try to locate their signs in a manner to get prospective buyers to Pitrina Park in the easiest way possible. Schletty asked if Masterpiece Homes would have to come back to the Commission for permission to place a sign at Allen Avenue and Centerville Road Montour pointed out that a sign at Allen Avenue and Centerville Road would be on the Pitrina Park property, therefore, would not be an off- ''age 32
