COMMISSION / STAFF INPUT <br />8.01: Receive Staff Update <br />Deputy City Administrator Gladhill provided an update on recent discussion of the EDA related <br />to Highway 10 signage for businesses. 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 recognized that the <br />Code may need refreshing to address newer technology. 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 Cafe 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 />
