Mounds View Planning Commission October 2, 2013 <br />Regular Meeting Page 4 <br />________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />Chair Stevenson closed the public hearing at 7:27 p.m. <br /> <br />MOTION/SECOND: Commissioner Cramblit/Commissioner Rundle. To approve Resolution <br />990-13, a Resolution Recommending Approval of a Reduced Driveway Setback; Planning Case <br />No. VR2013-006. <br /> <br /> Ayes – 7 Nays – 0 Motion carried. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />6. Other Planning Activity <br /> <br />A. Discuss Proposed Sign Code Amendments <br /> <br />Planning Associate Heller explained the Commission discussed sign code changes at the July 24, <br />2013 and August 21, 2013 Planning Commission meetings and was in favor of amending the <br />sign code rather than only having specific requirements for the County Road 10 corridor. The <br />majority of the commercial signage within the City is along the corridor, but it would make the <br />most sense to have the sign code be consistent for the entire City. Associate Heller also <br />suggested that the Commission review the “sight triangle” setback amount as a 30-foot setback <br />seems excessive given the amount of right-of-way along County Road 10. She requested the <br />Commission review the proposed sign code amendment and provide feedback for staff. <br /> <br />Commissioner Cramblit recommended the “sight triangle” setback along the County Road 10 <br />corridor be reduced to 10 feet instead of 30 feet. <br /> <br />Chair Stevenson supported this suggestion for signs along County Highway 10 only. The <br />Commission agreed. <br /> <br />Chair Stevenson asked if new signs should be required to have masonry construction materials. <br /> <br />Commissioner Carvelli-Yu thought this would be an important requirement to improve the sign <br />aesthetic quality throughout the City. <br /> <br />Chair Stevenson recommended staff make the recommended changes and report back to the <br />Commission at a future meeting. <br />______________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />7.
