Planning & Zoning Board <br />March 9, 2005 <br />Page 14 <br />Katie Allen asked how did they want this presented to the Board as a group. She stated <br />they were willing to do this. Mr. Tralle stated they needed come up with ideas of how <br />they wanted to display their banners, regulations they could live with as to where they <br />could be placed, etc. <br />Katie Allen asked how did they want this presented to them. Mr. Smyser stated the <br />business owners needed to get together and get him a list of what would and would not <br />work for their businesses. He indicated billboards were probably a steep uphill battle for <br />them in this community and the City was not open to billboard advertising. He stated the <br />City Council ultimately had the power to change this, but it was something that would <br />need to be worked through the process. With respect to the permanent road signage, <br />MnDOT owned the freeways and if MnDOT wanted to sell sign space in their right -of- <br />way they could do that. However, the roads they were talking about were Anoka County <br />roads and the City could not give them permission to put signs on the Anoka County <br />roads. <br />Katie Allen asked how come the City took down their signs on Anoka County roads. Mr. <br />Smyser replied the City did not allow this type of advertising. <br />Mr. Tralle stated he proposed the businesses come back to them with what they needed <br />for portable signs and banners and they would revisit it. He noted if this was not done, <br />the Board would stick with what they had. <br />Chair Rafferty asked when they should come back. Jim Szyplinski, Mansettis, proposed <br />in two weeks they would get something to Mr. Smyser and the business owners would <br />elect a person who would be their spokesperson. He indicated they would come back as <br />a group at a time that was convenient for the Board. <br />Mr. Pogalz recommended they get as many businesses involved as they could. <br />C. GTS Training <br />Mr. Smyser summarized the GTS Training and noted if any of the Board members <br />wanted to attend any of the workshops to let Dawn know. He recommended the new <br />Boardmembers attend the basic courses for the fundamentals if they were interested. <br />VII. ADJOURNMENT <br />Mr. Tralle made a MOTION to adjourn the meeting at 10:47 p.m., and was supported by <br />Mr. Pogalz. Motion carried 6 -0. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Kathy Altman, Recording Secretary <br />TimeSaver Off Site Secretarial, Inc. <br />DRAFT MINUTES <br />• <br />• <br />• <br />
