Board of Adjustments Minutes Page 3 <br /> October 27,2020 <br /> ----------------------------- <br /> Commissioner Thiel stated he was not opposed to the sign but did not think it <br /> needed to be that big as you could still find where you are going. <br /> Commissioner Rydberg stated he did not feel a sign of this size would ease in <br /> drawing more people to that building and asked if the commission is setting <br /> themselves up for more exceptions to this rule. He again requested a review of the <br /> ordinance. <br /> Chair Larson-Vito stated for this variance request it would be an approval or denial <br /> and noted perhaps the commission should review the ordinance. <br /> Commissioner Jordan agreed and with the request before them,he felt the building <br /> requires a sign that fits the building size and design and would approve this request. <br /> Moved by Commissioner Johnson and seconded by Commissioner Jordan to <br /> approve the variance request by the City of Elk River for a wall sign variance <br /> at 1000 School St. NW and one additional freestanding sign on the property <br /> located at 900 School St. NW for the following reasons: <br /> 1.
