He explained that the EDA received a presentation on <br /> billboards, as some members noticed the sign in Champlin and had interest in learning more. He <br /> stated that the EDA will continue to discuss the possibility of a billboard and related elements. He <br /> stated that the intent would be to have something similar to the sign located in Champlin. He <br /> stated that the EDA will continue to review possible partners and possibilities of implementation <br /> and funding. He advised that the topic would then come to the Planning Commission for input on <br /> design and location. <br /> Commissioner Anderson stated that he would have concerns related to location, size, and possible <br /> impacts from the Highway 10 construction project. He stated that he has seen the sign in <br /> Champlin, which is an interesting sign, but he has mixed feelings as the sign stands out. <br /> Commissioner Peters stated that he would be concerned with the brightness of the sign and the <br /> impact that could have on adjacent residential properties. He used the example of the bright sign <br /> for the assisted living facility that was recently constructed on Highway 10. <br /> Deputy City Administrator Gladhill stated that the City has regulations on brightness and lumens. <br /> He stated that staff can work easily with users to turn the brightness down.

He stated that staff can reach out to the <br /> assisted living facility about the brightness of their sign. <br /> Chairperson Bauer stated that he noticed the agenda for the upcoming EDA meeting, which <br /> includes a purchase agreement for a project the Planning Commission discussed at its last meeting. <br /> Deputy City Administrator Gladhill confirmed that the EDA will be reviewing a potential purchase <br /> agreement for the Storyteller Café and confirmed that the Planning Commission reviewed that <br /> project the previous month. <br /> Planning Commission/ October 1,2020 <br /> Page 4 of 5 <br />
