5.02: Public Hearing: Consider a Request for a Conditional Use Permit to Exceed Sign Size <br />Restrictions on the Property located at 7435 Highway 10 (Project No. 17-148); Case <br />of Anoka -Ramsey Farm & Garden. <br />Public Hearing <br />Chairperson Bauer called the public hearing to order at 7:14 p.m. <br />Presentation <br />Planning Intern Henderson presented the staff report stating the City has received an application <br />from Tom Tidrick on behalf of Anoka -Ramsey Farm & Garden requesting a Conditional Use <br />Permit (CUP) to exceed sign size restrictions for a ground sign on the parcel located at 7435 <br />Highway 10. The Applicant applied for a sign permit to add an LED dynamic sign panel to the <br />existing ground sign. Since this sign does not meet the City's definition of a temporary sign and <br />exceeds maximum size for a sign in the H-1 Highway 10 Business District, Staff finds <br />that processing a Conditional Use Permit ensures equitable enforcement of sign regulations for <br />parcels located in the H-1 District and removes any uncertainty on how this sign should be <br />classified. Staff provided further comment on the request and recommended approval of the CUP. <br />Citizen Input <br />Chairperson Bauer requested staff review photographs of the current and proposed signs. He asked <br />if staff had received any complaints regarding the current sign. <br />Planning Intern Henderson provided the Commission with pictures of the signs and noted staff had <br />not received any complaints. <br />Tom Tidrick, Anoka Ramsey Farm & Garden, 7435 Highway 10, thanked the Commission for <br />their consideration. <br />Commissioner Surma believed that Tom and Tony Tidrick had been respectful business owners in <br />the community and he supported their request. <br />Motion by Commissioner VanScoy, seconded by Commissioner Surma, to close the public <br />hearing. <br />Motion Carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Bauer, Commissioners VanScoy, Surma, Anderson, <br />Brauer, Gengler, and Nosan. Voting No: None. Absent: None. <br />Chairperson Bauer closed the public hearing closed at 7:22 p.m. <br />Commission Business <br />
