Commissioner Bauer asked what the intent was of the current document. <br /> Community Development Director Gladhill reported that he intent of the document was to take a <br /> look at the major components of the original plan when compared to the new plan. <br /> Commissioner VanScoy understood that the core of The COR originally was to be commercial <br /> and retail. He believed that this goal was no longer in place as the focus has shifted to <br /> residential. <br /> Community Development Director Gladhill stated the value of this document would be to speak <br /> with planning groups and economic specialists along with advisory boards to find common <br /> trends in order to develop the goals for this area. <br /> Commissioner Bauer understood that the big box retailers were not interested in coming to this <br /> area. For this reason, the City would have to look at creating other reasons to make Ramsey a <br /> destination. <br /> Community Development Director Gladhill reported that input from the public will be gained to <br /> see what the public's vision is for this space. <br /> Chairperson Levine appreciated the questions presented by Commissioner Brauer and believed <br /> these questions would gain valuable feedback. <br /> Motion by Commissioner VanScoy, seconded by Commissioner Maul, to recommend that City <br /> Council adopt the Comparison Document for The COR with Commissioner Brauer's <br /> amendments. <br /> Motion Carried.

Absent: Commissioner Nosan. <br /> 5.04: Discuss Framework for Future Amendments to COR Sign Standards <br /> Presentation <br /> Planning Intern Jeff Salmonson presented the staff report stating the purpose of this case was to <br /> discuss the COR signage standards due to a number of requests starting to come in from <br /> businesses as a result of Armstrong Boulevard interchange. The intentions of this case are to <br /> clarify and simplify the category types of signs, their height, and square footage allotments as <br /> well as address the Commission's comments that it desires to develop a more flexible sign <br /> package for The COR. Staff reviewed the item further and requested comment from the <br /> Commission on what signs could be approved at the staff level and which should be reviewed by <br /> the Commission and City Council. <br /> Planning Commission/September 10,2015 <br /> Page 6 of 8 <br />
