PUBLIC HEARINGS/COMMISSION BUSINESS <br />5.01: Public Hearing: Consider Request for a Conditional Use Permit for a Ground Sign <br />that Exceeds both Height and Area Standards within the COR District, Case of <br />Northstar Marketplace <br />Public Hearing <br />Chairperson Levine called the public hearing to order at 7:03 p.m. <br />Presentation <br />Community Development Director Gladhill presented the staff report stating the City has <br />received an application for a Conditional Use Permit from Quality Sign Solutions (the <br />"Applicant"), on behalf of Northstar Marketplace Station LLC (the "Property Owner"), for a new <br />pylon sign that would exceed both the height and area standards for the property located at 7900 <br />Sunwood Drive NW (the "Subject Property"). The proposed pylon sign is seventy-five feet (75') <br />tall and 333.5 square feet in area. Staff reviewed the request in detail and recommended <br />approval of the Conditional Use Permit for a ground sign. <br />Citizen Input <br />Jason Meyer, Quality Sign Solutions, explained he had been hired by Northstar Marketplace <br />Station for the sign. He thanked the Commission for their consideration. <br />Commissioner Bauer questioned how many businesses would be located on the sign. <br />Mr. Meyer anticipated the sign would accommodate four businesses, which was the same as the <br />existing sign. <br />Community Development Director Gladhill reported that not every business at this interchange <br />would be able to be located on this sign. <br />Commissioner Bauer asked if the sign could be expanded. <br />Mr. Meyer indicated the sign panels could be replaced or swapped out but the sign itself could <br />not be expanded. <br />Commissioner Bauer inquired if 75 feet in height would be adequate for the sign. <br />Planning Commission/November 3, 2016 <br />Page 2 of 10 <br />
