CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION DRAFT 2 right-of-way with a few City exceptions regardless of an election season. Attorney Nierengarten 40 spoke about other regulations regarding temporary signs and substitution signs. 41 City Planner Larsen shared about dynamic signs and adjustments to the ordinance that the 42 Planning and Zoning Board is looking into, including allowance for bigger dynamic signs up to 43 32 square feet. She shared that Paul Selbitschka, owner of Precision Tune Auto Care has asked 44 the City for a larger dynamic sign. The City is also looking at including an eight-second hold 45 time. 46 Paul Selbitschka shared about a rule-of-thumb regarding signs, that for every mile-per-hour a 47 road is, there would be one square foot of signage. Therefore the speed gives enough time for 48 one to read the sign. The concern with a small sign is that people would be more focused on 49 trying to read the sign and must be closer to be able to read it. 50 Councilmember Cavegn asked Mr. Selbitschka if he would rather get a 32 square foot sign now 51 and then replace it if the City ever goes to 50 square feet, or to wait. Mr. Selbitschka noted the 52 cost of an upgrade at 15-20% and he would probably not replace the 32 square foot sign right 53 away due to the replacement cost. 54 Mayor Rafferty would be comfortable with adjusting 32 square feet today. City Planner Larsen 55 will make that change and bring it to the first reading of the ordinance. 56 Item 2 – Villas on Vicky PUD Revised Concept Plan Review – City Planner Larsen gave a 57 summary of her written Staff Report noting the City has reviewed the five-acre parcel, which is 58 guided medium density. The applicant came back with a 15-unit plan with a private drive and 59 cul-de-sac. She shared about setbacks, tweaks to minor architectural standards, and meeting the 60 density. The City Council should look at whether they support rezoning to the PUD and to 61 amend the Comprehensive Plan to get to the correct density for 15-units. At the February 62 meeting, the Planning and Zoning Board was in support of the potential public benefit with this 63 development including 64 • Custom built homes are an innovation in home type and design 65 • The proposed single family detached homes in a single family detached neighborhood 66 is a creative use of land and infill 67 • Private road reduces development cost and public investment 68 • One level, single family detached homes provide life cycle housing 69 • Vicky Lane and Kelly Street realignment 70 Ms. Larsen noted overall, Planning and Zoning supported rezoning the PUD and amending the 71 Comprehensive Plan to lower the density. She shared about a 14-unit layout that is not included 72 in the packet. 73 Mayor Rafferty clarified this project meets the public safety needs. 74 75 Jon Blattman, Ranger Development, noted 14-units gives more flexibility on the design. Mayor 76 Rafferty asked about garage space. Mr. Blattman replied they will still have 22x22 garages and 77 spoke about the functionality of the layout of the units. He noted 22x22 will allow two cars with 78
