Charter Commission <br />January 9, 2025 <br />Page 3 <br />92 Chair Dahl noted the comments from staff in the memorandum and it appears this will continue <br />93 to be a topic of discussion in 2025. <br />94 <br />95 Commissioner Obert asked if notification could be sent out through text or email. <br />96 <br />97 Commissioner Frolik commented that he would believe the City to be hesitant to send texts to a <br />98 phone number without permission but perhaps residents could sign up voluntarily. He stated that <br />99 his neighbor is on the Planning and Zoning Board and hears the same comments about <br />100 notification and responds by saying that information is available on the website. He commented <br />101 that the City does use a wide number of platforms to provide notification to residents. <br />102 <br />103 Commissioner Digatono stated that it would seem that people want the mailed notification to be <br />104 sent to a larger distance. <br />105 <br />106 Chair Dahl commented that many people would not know that something is going on and <br />107 therefore would not know to go to the website. <br />108 <br />109 Commissioner Trehus agreed that many residents felt that the notification was inadequate this <br />110 past year. He believed that this item and the following agenda items would be good topics to <br />111 discuss in a joint meeting session with the City Council. <br />112 <br />113 MOTION by Commissioner Trehus, seconded by Commissioner Damiani, requesting a joint <br />114 meeting to be scheduled with the City Council. <br />115 <br />116 Motion passed unanimously. <br />117 <br />118 The City Clerk stated that she will let the Council know the Commission is interested in holding <br />119 a joint meeting. <br />120 <br />121 Commissioner Trehus commented that in the past there was an annual joint meeting of the City <br />122 Council and Charter Commission held in April. <br />123 <br />124 Commissioner Obert stated that she looked up the temporary signage allowance and provided the <br />125 allowed dimensions, which would allow for posted signage to notify residents of land use <br />126 applications. <br />127 <br />128 Commissioner Frolik reviewed that the Chair is to submit an annual report to the Commission on <br />129 or before the April meeting. <br />130 <br />131 C. Zoning Regulations: Minimum Distance Between Businesses <br />132 Is there any way of limiting the distance of similar businesses within one area <br />133 Chair Dahl asked if there is a way to limit similar businesses within one area. <br />134 <br />135 The City Clerk stated that a memorandum was prepared by the Community Development <br />136 Director on this topic and was included in the packet. It was noted that further legal review <br />137 would be required to fully answer this question. <br />
