The City Ordinance allows for one freestanding sign per <br />premises. There are two signs at this location. One sign also exceeds <br />the 20 ft. maximum height allowed. However. both signs have been in use <br />during the last year. Staff feels Northstar changing the sign face falls <br />under change of copy. The estimated value of the sign structure is <br />$3.900. The proposed sign face is estimated at $1.400 and wouldn't <br />exceed 50% of the total value for the sign. <br /> <br />Steve Rohlf noted that both signs were grand fathered in when the new sign <br />ordinance was adopted. <br /> <br />Discussion was held on whether or not the sign should be moved. The <br />business would suffer if the sign wasn't allowed to be 35 ft. high. The <br />traffic doesn't see the station until it is too late to stop. therefore. <br />a bigger sign is needed. Commissioner Fuchs stated that he doesn't like <br />the taller signs. <br /> <br />COMMISSIONER JOHNSON MOVED TO RECOMMEND TO THE CITY COUNCIL TO ALLOW <br />NORTH STAR SERVICE CENTER TO REPLACE A SIGN FACE AT THE FULL HEIGHT OF THE <br />IXISTING 35 FT. HIGH POLES. COMMISSIONER BARRETT SECONDED THE MOTION. <br />THE MOTION CARRIED 6-0. <br /> <br />11. <br /> <br />Date for Special Meeting in July to Review License and Conditional Use <br />Permit for Elk River Landfill <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />An informational meeting regarding <br />19th.
