John Hapca, Property Manager for Sunfish Commons, stated that they currently have a pylon sign <br />which will not be visible after the overpass is constructed. He stated that the business would be <br />interested in having a higher sign that would be visible to vehicle and asked if there would be funds <br />available to assist with that cost. He stated that he was informed that the sign would need to be <br />removed and relocated as an additional entrance would be added. <br />City Administrator Hagen stated that the City has not yet had those discussions. He invited the <br />City Engineer to provide input on this type of project that would have impact to a property and <br />whether the City would have an obligation to recreate what was there. <br />City Engineer Westby stated that they are in the final design process, therefore the elevations have <br />not yet been set. He stated that they do work with property owners but noted that Anoka County <br />is leading the project therefore he cannot speak to their policies. He noted that Anoka County did <br />work with property owners on sign design during the Armstrong interchange project. He stated <br />that he is unsure which signs will be impacted as part of the project but noted that perhaps this <br />property owner has already been in discussions with the County. He stated that potential funding <br />for assistance is still to be determined. <br />City Administrator Hagen provided details on a meeting with Anoka County about the project next <br />Wednesday that will have two parts, one with businesses and one with residents. <br />Motion by Commissioner Walker, seconded by Commissioner VanScoy, to close the public <br />hearing. <br />Motion Carried.
