1 City of St. Anthony 2 Planning Commission Meeting 3 February 15, 1994 4 Page 6 5 he and the Management Assistant discovered many discrepancies. 6 Commissioner Gondorchin questioned the ordinance stipulating only one sign for some of the 7 larger buildings, i.e., Stratigicare and Apache Plaza. Chair Faustinterjected with the 8 possibility of larger signage rather than more than one sign. Commissioner Bergstrom 9 recommended the majority of single sided signs are 32 square feet or less, and the majority of 10 double sided signs are 65 square feet or less. 11 Commissioner Franzese was in favor of having a lesser increment. Franzese recommended 30 12 square feet and 60 square feet for single and double sided signs, respectively. Commissioner 13 Bergstrom felt because so many of the signs were the larger size, that perhaps there was an 14 industry standard. He also felt this should be examined before the Commission proceeds. 15 Chair Faust requested staff to check into that. 16 The ordinance regulates the height of ground signs be five feet. Franzese suggested six feet. 17 Commissioner Gondorchin felt seven feet would be better. The general consensus was that the 18 total size of the sign and base must not exceed seven feet. 19 Chair Faust asked if the Commissioners wanted to add "ingress" and "egress" to the 20 directional sign language in the ordinance. It was agreed to add "ingress", "egress", and 21 "and/or traffic flow" to the ordinance. 22 Land Use Planning Workshop 23 Chair Faust indicated Commissioners Bergstrom, Makowske, and Horst have not attended the 24 basic planning workshop; and Thompson and Gondorchin have not attended the advanced 25 workshop. Faust and Franzese have attended both. The City will pay for the workshops and 26 Faust encouraged the Commissioners to attend. 27 Miscellaneous 28 Chair Faust introduced the newest Commissioner, Dick Horst. Faust reminded the 29 Commissioners that there will be a school election on April 19th and the meeting cannot begin 30 until 8:00 P.M.. 31 City Manager Burt spoke about the Development/Redevelopment Task Force. Commissioner 32 Makowske volunteered to attend the March 9th meeting of the Task Force.
