Mounds View Planning Commission November 1, 2000 Regular Meeting Page 6 Commissioner Hegland noted it may be helpful to contact a sign company for information on standard signage. Planner Ericson indicated he could contact local sign companies to get feedback on any revisions. Community Development Director Jopke indicated he was aware of a national sign industry group that would have a model sign ordinance the City could use as a model. Planner Ericson indicated he would research the group and attempt to locate the model sign ordinance. Commissioner Kaden inquired as to the status of the billboard situation at the golf course. Community Development Director Jopke indicated the permit for the billboards had been turned down based on the fact that the property is not zoned industrial or commercial. There is an appeal by the sign company that the City has joined in. There is an administrative hearing November 16, 2000 that may be delayed into December. One of the big points the City will make is the State did allow billboards on a golf course in Eagan with a similar zoning designation.

Community Development Director Jopke indicated the meeting had been rescheduled for next week and he would be attending. 10. Staff Reports/Items of Information A.
