Mounds View Planning Commission December 6, 2000 <br />Regular Meeting Page 8 <br /> <br /> <br />Community Development Director Ericson indicated that due to the change in the Ordinance <br />Staff would draft a Resolution for consideration at the next Planning Commission meeting. <br /> <br /> <br />7. Continued Discussion Concerning the City’s Sign Code <br /> <br />Community Development Director Ericson indicated the timeline for proceeding with the <br />changes to the sign ordinance was developed based on projected light agendas for the Planning <br />Commission and may need to be amended to accommodate the schedule. Mr. Ericson suggested <br />Staff could go through the definitions section and provide input on those definitions Staff feels <br />need to be revised. <br /> <br />Commissioner Miller indicated it seemed the definitions included too much information that <br />should be located somewhere else in the Code. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Ericson suggested the Planning Commission review the <br />documentation on the sign code for discussion at the next Planning Commission meeting. <br /> <br />Chairperson Peterson indicated the sign code documentation received in the packets appeared to <br />be around 10 years old but still useful. He also indicated there was a good mix of documentation <br />including some slanted toward the City and some slanted toward the sign companies. He <br />complimented Staff on providing well balanced documentation. <br /> <br /> <br /> 8. Staff Reports/Items of Information <br /> <br />A.
