Commission Business <br />Commissioner Anderson stated he drove by the property and believed the new garage would not <br />be visible from the street as the property was heavily wooded. <br />Commissioner Brauer believed it made sense to combine recitals #4 and #5. <br />Chairperson Bauer supported this recommendation. <br />Commissioner Brauer suggested the following language be added to the findings: The proposed <br />use is due to the following circumstances that are unique to the property, and were not caused by <br />the owner. <br />The Commission supported the addition of this finding. <br />Motion by Commissioner VanScoy, seconded by Commissioner Nosan, adopt Resolution #17-10- <br />249 granting a variance to construct a detached accessory building nearer the front lot line than the <br />home on the property located at 7155 160th Lane NW, as amended. <br />Motion Carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Bauer, Commissioners VanScoy, Nosan, Anderson, <br />Brauer, Gengler, and Surma. Voting No: None. Absent: None. <br />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 permanent 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 />Planning Commission/October 12, 2017 <br />Page 3 of 15 <br />
