Commissioner Miller stated she will be attending next week and will report after that date. B. Update regarding KinderCare Variance Ericson explained that at the last meeting, the Planning Commission adopted a resolution granting a variance to KinderCare for a sign. At that meeting, a question was raised whether they paid the appropriate fee for the application. Ericson reported that while the meeting packet indicated they paid $100, they actually paid the appropriate amount of$250. C. Ramsey County Tax Forfeit Auction • Ericson announced the Ramsey County tax forfeit land auction on April 29, 1999, and reported on the vacant parcel abutting Edgewood that will be auctioned on that date. He explained there was some developer interest in that parcel. Ericson reported that the Council would be holding the public hearing and first reading of Ordinance No. 629, an ordinance amending Chapter 401 of the Municipal Code pertaining to the Planning Commission. 9. Chairperson and Planning Commissioners Reports Commissioner Laube requested an update on the golf course billboard proposal. Jopke stated the billboard issue was discussed with the Council at the work session. Jopke stated that he thinks it would be difficult for the City to satisfy the hardship requirement so he recommended the Council look at a Code amendment to allow billboards under certain conditions rather than trying to demonstrate a hardship to receive a variance. Council Liaison Stigney explained there was a request to make a commitment to place billboard but that was rejected until the Planning Commission provides a recommendation. No other reports were considered. 10. Adjournment There being no further business before the Planning Commission, Chairperson Peterson adjourned the meeting at 8:40 p.m.
