Commissioner Anderson stated that until the Code is changed, he would recommend enforcement <br />of the existing regulations. <br />Commissioner Hunt asked when new regulations would go into effect. <br />City Planner Martin replied that the plan is to present the draft changes to the Commission in <br />January and stated that he would also present this information to the Economic Development <br />Authority (EDA) to gain a business community perspective. He explained that it would then move <br />forward to the Council in perhaps March with final adoption in early summer. <br />Commissioner Anderson stated that he will be interested in the input of the EDA. <br />City Planner Martin asked if the Commission would want three categories for signage such as the <br />COR, Highway 10, and other. <br />Commissioner Bauer agreed that those categories would make the most sense, especially as the <br />Highway 10 projects are completed and there are no longer stoplights it will be critical for those <br />businesses to continue to be visible to traffic. <br />Commissioner Anderson asked if taller signs should be allowed for the highway and if so, the <br />highway would need its own category. He stated that he could support the standards for the COR <br />and the remainder of the city being the same. <br />City Planner Martin asked if there should be a restriction on a residential subdivision or using an <br />EMC for its entrance signage. <br />Senior Planner Anderson stated that it is not uncommon for the subdivision to have its name at the <br />entrance of the development. <br />The Commission agreed that they would want to limit that type of signage to traditional signage <br />and not allow an EMC for that purpose. <br />City Planner Martin commented that Stoney River has an EMC. He asked if the Commission <br />would support EMCs as temporary signs, using the example of signage that is used during events <br />such as the Renaissance Festival. <br />Chairperson Gengler stated that perhaps that could be allowed for special events rather than as <br />temporary signage. <br />8. COMMISSION / STAFF INPUT <br />Chairperson Gengler recognized that this is the last meeting for Commissioner Peters as he will be <br />joining the City Council and thanked him for his service on the Commission.
