i <br /> Planning Commission Meeting Minutes <br /> October 17, 2006 <br /> Page 4 <br /> 1 <br /> 2 Chair Stromgren replied the current code is written for gas price signage to be on a pylon. He <br /> 3 stated Commissioner Jensen is correct in that a number of signs are monument style in and out of <br /> 4 the City. <br /> 5 <br /> 6 Commissioner Jensen responded the Commission is attempting to update the code to deal with <br /> 7 current and future conditions. He stated during the reading process, he would like to insure <br /> 8 monument signs are included so another amendment would not be needed later. <br /> 9 <br /> 10 Chair Stromgren reported receiving one email from Mr. Dennis Cavanaugh expressing his <br /> 11 concern about the impact an electronic sign would have on the neighborhood. <br /> 12 <br /> 13 Chair Stromgren closed the public hearing at 7:17 p.m. <br /> 14 <br /> 15 Commissioner Jensen remarked the Commission should deal with monument signs as well as <br /> 16 pylon signs for gas stations. He stated perhaps the proposal should be sent back to Staff to <br /> 17 include monument signs. <br /> 18 <br /> 19 Chair Stromgren replied he is not sure if this is referenced in another subsection. <br /> 20 <br /> 21 Commissioner Jensen responded he is offering an amendment to ensure changeable copy is <br /> 22 allowed regardless of the sign type and to continue the reading process forward. He stated he is <br /> 23 confident staff would find the correct wording. Commissioner Jensen recommended wording in <br /> 24 subdivision two of the amendment. <br /> 25 <br /> 26 Chair Stromgren pointed out the first sentence where pylon is also referenced. <br /> 27 <br /> 28 Commissioner Jensen recommended making a global change. <br /> 29 <br /> 30 Commissioner Jenson asked if both monument and pylon signs are freestanding. He suggested <br /> 31 leaving the word freestanding to represent both monument and pylon signs. <br /> 32 <br /> 33 Chair Stromgren replied monument and pylon signs are both defined in the beginning of Chapter <br /> 34 14. He state this would keep everything consistent and insure a reference is not missed. <br /> 35 Commissioner Jensen stated it is an attempt to make a copy change sooner than later rather than <br /> 36 in the middle of the winter. <br /> 37 <br /> 38 Chair Stromgren stated he wants to make sure it remains monument or pylon so it could not <br /> 39 become attached to the building. He stated only one monument sign with the LED is allowed per <br /> 40 business. <br /> 41 <br /> 42 Commissioner Jensen pointed out subdivision two mentions one sign only. He asked Assistant <br /> 43 City Manager Moore-Sykes if the Commission could forward this to the City Council along with <br /> 44 the friendly amendments and discussion. <br /> 45 <br />
