Planning Commission Page 5 <br /> September 22,2020 <br /> ----------------------------- <br /> The commission discussed the size of the nacelle and height of the turbine and asked <br /> if there was any proposed signage and sizing. Mr. Leeseberg stated nothing had been <br /> officially submitted so he did not have those details but indicated it would be either <br /> the owner of the wind turbine or operator. <br /> Chair Larson-Vito Like stated she would like to see further clarification on what is <br /> being proposed for the YAC wind turbine as she felt it needed to be specific about <br /> what was allowed. <br /> Commissioner Thiel felt this type of advertisement would not be catching his eye <br /> driving down Highway 10 as would another type of sign advertisement. <br /> Commissioner Feinstein explained his kids play football at the YAC fields and the <br /> turbine can be seen as you walk from the parking area and enter the complex. <br /> Commissioner Johnson stated he did not feel this specific turbine was a big deal if <br /> they were merely advertising the company name or owner of the turbine,but there <br /> was the potential to advertise something else. He stated in this situation the YAC site <br /> is owned by the city but there could be other spots in the city with wind turbines on <br /> property not owned by the city. <br /> Commissioner Rydberg stated he is not concerned with advertising on this unless it <br /> was an electronic billboard or something garish hanging on it. <br /> Commissioner Jordan stated he was not bothered by it as he felt the lettering would <br /> be very small and unmarketable. <br /> Moved by Commissioner Rydberg and seconded by Commissioner Thiel to <br /> recommend approval of the Ordinance Amending City Code Section 30-804, <br /> wind turbines to allow signage or advertising for the owner/operator of a <br /> wind turbine. <br /> Motion carried'7-0. <br /> 4.5 City of Elk River— Public Safety Building Expansion — 13065 Orono <br /> Parkway NW <br /> ■ Amendment to Conditional Use Permit CU 20-09 to allow expansion of <br /> existing police and fire department facilities, Case No. CU 20-17 <br /> Mr. Carlton presented the staff report. <br /> Chair Larson-Vito opened the public hearing. <br /> There being no one to speak, Chair Larson-Vito closed the public hearing. <br /> Moved by Commissioner Beise and seconded by Commissioner Feinstein to <br /> recommend approval of the Conditional Use Permit 02-09 and allowing <br /> �r},�,aVgwEe'fE'o ReEr <br /> A " <br />
