Tom Dillon. Notes to Planning Commission. continued April 30. 1996 Page <br /> <br />They used a lot of new technology that I would like to see implemented in Elk River. They used scanners <br />to add items (buildings, signs, etc.) to the pictures that they presented to give the planning commission <br />more insight and better understanding as to how the affected change might look. <br /> <br />The affected property should also have a sign posted prior to public hearing. Another good idea that they <br />used was to have the rules posted on the back of the agenda to let the public audience know what is <br />expected of them. (See appendix "b"). <br /> <br />Practical Guide to Si_tm Control: <br /> <br />This workshop was full of information. I have attached a copy of handout material. (See appendix "c"). <br /> <br />What is the problem? Be specific. <br />What is practical and feasible to regulate? <br />Is there "Political Will" to empower staffto enforce? <br />What signs do you want to exempt? <br />What signs do you want to prohibit? <br />What signs do you want to regulate? <br /> <br />If you grant a variance on signs, you set a standard (Stay away from variances). <br /> <br />You should have different ordinances for the following, as they each have their own problems: 1: On-sight <br /> 2: Off-sight <br /> <br />You may have different sign regulations by zoning districts. You should ignore all contents of message on <br />"off-sight" signs and you should eliminate discretion. <br /> <br /> <br />
