Director Ericson indicated that the maximum square footage for billboards in the City is 700 square feet eliminating the possibility for future expansion of the sign. Commissioner Scotch asked what was behind the trees. Director Ericson indicated that there was a trail that cuts along and adjacent to the new storm water pond and directly behind the trees are more trees and a wetland area. Commissioner Miller asked whether a Rice Creek Watershed Permit was required. Director Ericson indicated he was not sure whether a Rice Creek Watershed permit would be required and noted it was the responsibility of the applicant to find out. He then indicated that a City wetland alteration permit is required. Commissioner Zwirn pointed to an open area on the drawing of the billboard and questioned how the applicant intended to prevent people from congregating in the hidden area.
