Currently, <br />the ordinance allows boulevard signs in the C-2 district 5 feet high <br />and 32 sq. ft. in size. Staff is recommending that the boulevard signs <br />remain as they are. <br /> <br />Steve Rohlf explained that Mr. Chuba is his brother-in-law and he would <br />therefore be excusing himself from the discussion as to avoid a <br />conflict of interest. <br /> <br />Dennis Chuba addressed the Planning Commission regarding the allowable <br />sign height for boulevard signs. Mr. Chuba felt the height restriction <br />was too restrictive for the C-2 zoning district and was requesting some <br />flexibility to the height restriction. <br /> <br />After discussing this issue it was the general consensus of the <br />Planning Commission that the height of boulevard signs was too <br />restricti ve in the C-2 district and directed staff to proceed with an <br />ordinance amendment. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Chairperson Johnson's comments regarding this issue were entered into <br />the record at this time (see attachment for her comments). <br /> <br />14. ~+-dinance Amendment!Section__~Q~/Subdivision Ordinance <br />~dministrative Subdjvision Qx the City of Elk River/P.H. <br /> <br />Regarding <br />
