<br />Associate Planner DaInes stated right now it applies to the business. Staff is proposing the Code <br />be changed to say "per business or per property". <br /> <br />Commissioner V an Scoy wondered how they would know how long the signs will be up if there <br />is no permit. <br /> <br />Associate Planner DaInes stated it would be monitored by regular drive-bys. She. stated they <br />would propose a different mechanism for violation where the City would send a letter of <br />violation and an administrative ticket. <br /> <br />Commissioner Brauer asked what happens with garage sales. <br /> <br />Associate Planner DaInes stated with that scenario; Staff would rely on the complaint based <br />process. <br /> <br />Commissioner Cleveland stated on subsection 7, under 9.12.05, page 29, the occupant or <br />business is given 48 hours after the duration to remove the sign and she wondered if they should <br />include this with regard to duration. <br /> <br />Associate Planner DaInes stated the current regulations state that after an event they have 48 <br />hours to remove the sign. The proposal would eliminate public event sign regulations and any <br />sign must be removed after 5 days. <br /> <br />Commissioner Cleveland stated on page 27, Subdivision 1, they are limiting once per year for up <br />to two weeks anything like a strobe light, revolving search lights, etc. and she wondered whether <br />that is too limiting. <br /> <br />Associate Planner DaInes stated right now the Code allows those types of signs for thirty days <br />around a public event or grand opening. She stated they will now allow those types of signs once <br />a year for two weeks for any business but it up for discussion with the Commission. <br /> <br />Commissioner Cleveland stated she wondered if they should allow these for a shorter duration <br />but more than once a year. <br /> <br />Chairperson Nixt stated he would be inclined to say a business could have a maximum number of <br />events over the course of the year so they have both the frequency and aggregate type of <br />restriction. <br /> <br />The Commission discussed the possible restrictions for large signs. <br /> <br />Commissioner Levine stated he would be cautious not to limit signage because it allows people <br />to market their business. <br /> <br />Associate Planner DaInes thought these types of signs deserve a little more restriction. <br /> <br />Planning Commission/January 3, 2008 <br />Page 6 of8 <br />
