If the angle is greater than ten degrees, the <br /> total areas of both sides are added together. <br /> Commissioner Rydberg asked if the Board of Adjustments denies the applicant's <br /> request,would the church still be able to update their current sign on the vacant <br /> parcel. <br /> Mr. Leeseberg said the applicant would be allowed to update the sign keeping the <br /> size and dimensions the same as the current sign. <br /> Chair Johnson opened the public hearing. <br /> Lea Raduenz, 1837 8th St. NW, stated she isn't against the applicant's request for a <br /> new sign but expressed concerns with the church trimming the bushes in the <br /> MnDOT right-of-way that had once shielded her view of the current sign and traffic <br /> lights from US Highway 10. <br /> Matt Daiker, the applicant, stated the bushes Ms. Raduenz was referring to were 1111 <br /> trimmed at 8 feet and the church would continue to keep them at 8 feet. He stated <br /> the new sign will not be lit. <br /> Mr. Leeseberg stated Zack Carlton has been in contact with Mark Renn with <br /> MnDOT regarding the trimming of the bushes. <br /> There being no one else to speak,Chair Johnson closed the public hearing. <br /> Moved by Commissioner Beise and seconded by Commissioner Jordan to <br /> approve a variance request by Elk River Baptist Church for two freestanding <br /> signs and a total of 120 square feet of freestanding signage for the following <br /> reasons: <br /> 1.
