To Approve Resolution 685-02, a Resolution <br />Recommending Approval of a City Code Amendment to Section 1106.03, Subd. 1(a) Regarding <br />Accessory Structures. <br /> <br /> Ayes – 6 Nays – 0 Motion carried. <br /> <br />Planner Atkinson indicated that this matter would be brought to a Council Work Session and <br />then two Council Meetings before it is official. <br /> <br />Chair Stevenson asked Staff to bring the matter back before the Commission, if necessary, after <br />it goes through Council. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />7. Staff Reports <br /> <br />a. Discussion of Allowing Banners on Light Poles at Mounds View Square <br /> <br />Planner Atkinson indicated he had received a call from Paster Enterprises because they are <br />interested in hanging seasonal banners on the light poles at Mounds View Square in an attempt to <br />spruce up the parking lot. He then noted that the banners would be changed out seasonally. <br /> <br />Commissioner Miller asked how big the banners would be. <br /> <br />Planner Atkinson indicated that he would be receiving more information concerning the <br />specifications of the banners. <br /> <br />Commissioner Scotch commented that she felt it would be a good idea. <br /> <br />Commissioner Hegland asked if the City would have control over the weathering of banners to <br />keep them from looking unsightly. <br /> <br />Planner Atkinson indicated he felt the shopping center would be sure to keep the banners in good <br />repair because the purpose behind them is to spruce up the parking lot. He then noted that, if the <br />banners should begin to weather and look unsightly, the City could enforce through the nuisance <br />code. <br /> <br />Chair Stevenson indicated he would be fine with the banners provided the City regulated them. <br /> <br />Commissioner Johnson asked how banners fit into the sign code. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Ericson indicated there was something in the sign code <br />pertaining to banners but that was for banners attached to buildings for temporary purposes. He <br />then indicated that there is nothing that would address this type of seasonal banner on a light <br />pole. <br />
