Planning Commission Regular Meeting Minutes September 15, 2020 Page 3 1 City Planner Grittman reviewed the request for a Conditional Use Permit to allow for a 2 Dynamic Display Electronic Sign at the property located at 2827 Anthony Lane. 3 4 Mr. O’Brien, CEO B&F Fastener Supply, addressed the Commission. 5 6 No one was present or online to ask the applicant questions. 7 8 Chairperson Westrick closed the public hearing at 7:26 p.m. 9 10 Commissioner Neumann stated with this particular application usually they have a nice 11 PowerPoint up on the screen. She asked if she was missing something with the PowerPoint 12 not being on the screen with the pictures and locations for the people at home in order to see 13 what is being discussed. Mr. Grittman apologized and indicated it was in the Commission 14 packet, but staff was not able to get it on the screen. 15 16 Commissioner Neumann asked what street the sign is supposed to go on. She explained she 17 saw the picture of the sign in the packet. Mr. Grittman explained it was 29th Avenue, aka 18 County Road C where it extends into Ramsey County to the East. Commissioner Neumann 19 asked what is in that area of St. Anthony. Mr. Grittman explained there are industrial 20 buildings to the South and to the North of 29th Avenue. Commissioner Neumann asked what 21 type of businesses. Mr. Grittman explained as the applicant indicated, theirs is an industrial 22 supply company and there are a variety of manufacturers with some small warehouses and 23 different types of businesses like that. 24 25 Commissioner Neumann asked if she was to understand that in one of these pictures here, that 26 no one can reference because there is no PowerPoint up on the main screen, this fastener 27 supply sign is already out there or is this the sign the company currently has that will be 28 replaced. Mr. Grittman explained the sign that was shown in the packet of materials that 29 would have been the PowerPoint, is the proposed sign. 30 31 Commissioner Neumann stated there is a proposed sign and then another one that does not 32 look like the proposed sign with a man, the white sign. Mr. Grittman thought Commissioner 33 Neumann was referencing a photograph that the applicant included in their application, which 34 was a Google Earth photograph showing a street view with the old sign. 35 36 Commissioner Neumann asked if there is a sign at the location right now. Mr. Grittman 37 explained the sign was pulled up as a result of the road and trailway construction along that 38 area, with the expectation that the applicant would eventually come forward with a new sign. 39 40 Commissioner Neumann asked what year the sign was pulled up. Mr. Grittman stated this 41 happened within the last twelve months or less. Commissioner Neumann asked if the 42 applicant was going to replace the old sign with a new sign that was brighter and nicer in the 43 exact same spot. Mr. Grittman stated the new sign would not be in the exact same spot. It 44 would be farther away because along the street, the trailway extends across the front portion 45
