<br /> <br /> <br />Planning Commission Minutes <br />December 16, 2025 <br />--------- <br />Page 5 of 5 <br />asked if the billboards could be removed or only keep the billboards at the two corners of the lot to <br />avoid blocking a building. <br /> <br />Mr. Leeseberg stated that current city standards allow either a billboard or a building on a property. <br /> <br />Commissioner Rydberg asked if Franklin Outdoor Advertising, the billboard company, owned the <br />property that the billboards sat on. Mr. Leeseberg stated he didn't know about the agreement between <br />Franklin and the Specht property. <br /> <br />Commissioner Rydberg clarified that Mr. Dehn had not yet purchased the property. <br /> <br />Mr. Leeseberg stated that one option could be to rezone the property to a PUD with a special rule to <br />allow billboards and buildings on the same property. <br /> <br />Chair Beise felt the Commission needed more information. Commissioner Rydberg suggested that Mr. <br />Dehn negotiate with the seller of the property to remove the billboards. Commissioner Johnson <br />suggested keeping only the billboards at the ends of the property. Commissioner Bland was not in favor <br />of any billboards as that did not meet the intent of the rule. <br /> <br />The Commission was not in favor of allowing both billboards and buildings on the same site and <br />requested additional information on the ownership and technicalities, including potentially subdividing <br />the property. The project may also go to the council for concept review. <br /> <br />10. MOTION TO ADJOURN <br /> Moved by Commissioner Johnson and seconded by Commissioner Booth to adjourn the <br />meeting. Motion carried 6-0. <br /> <br />The meeting adjourned at 7:44 p.m. <br /> <br />Minutes prepared by Katie Porath. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ___________________ <br /> <br />Perry Beise, Chair <br />___________________ <br /> <br />Jolene Richter, City Clerk <br /> <br />Page 7 of 110
