Commissioner Anderson commented he would be comfortable with a 75-foot-tall sign in this particular zone so long as there was not an abundance. He noted he liked the idea of collocating signs. Commissioner Surma believed that the zoning area along Highway 10 was too wide and should be narrowed. Vice Chairperson VanScoy agreed. Community Development Director Gladhill suggested the area be shrunk to include the area inside of Sunwood Drive and Riverdale Drive. The Commission supported this recommendation. Vice Chairperson VanScoy stated he could support staff approving a 75-foot-high sign request inside of Sunwood Drive and Riverdale Drive and anything beyond this area should be reviewed by the Planning Commission. Commissioner Surma stated he would like to see the City consider wayfinding signs for the COR. Vice Chairperson VanScoy stated he did not want to see a forest of 75-foot signs along Highway 10. Community Development Director Gladhill reported staff would work to further refine the zone in order to narrow the corridor and would report back to the Commission at a future meeting. 6.04: Select Winning 2017 Photo — 'Life in Ramsey' Presentation Community Development Director Gladhill presented the Staff Report stating as a member of a City of Ramsey board/commission, the Commission was invited to participate in the voting process for the 2017 photo contest.
