<br />Mounds View Planning Commission March 1, 2000 <br />Regular Meeting Page 22 <br /> <br /> <br />it was possible they could have a workable ordinance to recommend to the City Council for their <br />review by May. <br /> <br />Planning Associate Ericson stated there would also be a public hearing for a Conditional Use <br />Permit for an oversized shed. He pointed out that the unseasonably warm weather has gotten the <br />building season going in full force. He stated the City has taken in a number of building permits, <br />and they were happy to see that this is occurring, and certainly were not planning on a rush this <br />early in the year. <br /> <br />Planning Associate Ericson stated the Board Appreciation Dinner would be held the following <br />evening at 6:00 p.m. He indicated on Wednesday, March 29, the I-35W Corridor Coalition <br />Planning Commission Dinner and Training Session would be held at 6:30 p.m., at the Shoreview <br />Community Center. He requested the Commissioners contact Community Development <br />Director Jopke or himself regarding their plans to attend this meeting, so that staff could respond <br />and make the appropriate plans. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Jopke advised that the Commission members might be <br />requested to speak at the Appreciation Dinner the following evening, regarding their current <br />business and their priorities for the upcoming year. <br /> <br />Chairperson Peterson stated in the past, the Planning Commission has had a wish list of items <br />they would like to address, including the Sign Code and various items of this nature. He <br />inquired if this list has been updated, in light of the fact that the Comprehensive Plan Update has <br />been completed. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Jopke explained that with the implementation and formal <br />adoption of the Comprehensive Plan, the Commission would be examining the entire Zoning <br />Code, as well as all other items contemplated in the implementation plan. He pointed out that <br />this would be a very time consuming process. <br /> <br />Chairperson Peterson stated these were the primary issues to be resolved, however, there would <br />be a period of time during which the Metropolitan Council and all of the other bodies would be <br />involved in the review of the Comprehensive Plan. He inquired if the Commission had any <br />suggestions regarding which items they would like to address during the year. He indicated they <br />have been meeting every Wednesday for many months, therefore, he did not think they would <br />desire to take on a task that requires action beyond their normal meeting schedule, however, the <br />Sign Code has come up a number of times, as well as various other items. <br /> <br />Chairperson Peterson explained that throughout the City, there are a number of issues that should <br />be addressed, and they are primarily housekeeping items. He advised however, in terms of the <br />Sign Code, there are many new businesses coming in to town, and the Sign Code is not <br />consistent, and does not allow certain things that most businesses have come to expect, and a <br />number of these issues require clarification.
