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 />
