Mounds View Planning Commission May 17, 2000 Regular Meeting Page 26 Chairperson Peterson commented that such items are otherwise difficult and expensive to dispose of. He stated this was a great way for the City to clean up, and for residents to avoid charges from their own disposal services. b. Planning Commissioner Journal Planning Associate Ericson stated the Planning Commission has been provided a copy of the Planning Commissioner Journal, and if desired, discussion could be held at a later date. 11. Chairperson and Planning Commissioners Reports Commissioner Kaden reported he attended a Beyond the Basics Planning Commissioners training seminar, which was very informative. He indicated that anyone desiring to review the handout materials he received was welcome to do so. Chairperson Peterson stated he had completed the third seminar in the Beyond the Basics series and this information was also very valuable. He indicated there was a significant amount of information regarding Sign Code updates, and improper procedures, such as attacking the American Flag, even if it is being blatantly commercialized. He stated there was a chart of common practices of Planning Commissions and other similar authorities, which he found to be particularly helpful. He indicated this might be helpful to the Commission as well, and worthy of discussion. Commissioner Hegland inquired regarding the suggestion that the Planning Commission examine the Code pertaining to oversized sheds. Planning Associate Ericson stated the Council gave staff direction to move forward in this regard, and this is a priority, however, ironically, staff has been very involved in dealing with the conditional use permit requests, and therefore, is having some difficulty finding the time to create an ordinance to amend the Code to be more flexible with regard to the requirements for oversized sheds. He stated it was hoped that there would be something before the Commission at the next meeting with regard to sheds. Planning Associate Ericson stated Walgreen’s has submitted their application, and it is scheduled for a public hearing with the Planning Commission at the June 7th meeting. He stated staff felt it would be appropriate to notice this public hearing, and the notification would be published in the newspaper. He explained that this would provide that everyone is aware of what is occurring, and to receive any public comment or input at the beginning of the process. He stated it was also hoped that staff would have the opportunity to come back before the Commission at their next meeting with a Code amendment pertaining to Tattoo Shops. No further reports were considered. 12. Adjournment
