Planning Manager Larson provided additional information and stated that staff believe that the <br />sign would remain visible. <br />Citizen Input <br />Scott Levine, representing the applicant, stated that he is present to address any questions of the <br />Commission. <br />Commissioner R. Bauer asked the applicant for additional information on the concern with the <br />blockage of another sign. <br />Mr. Levine replied that the height of the sign and curve of the road would ensure that there would <br />not be a visual impact on the existing sign. <br />Chairperson Gengler acknowledged that there is a frontage road between the property and the <br />highway. <br />Commissioner VanScoy asked the distance of this location from the City boundary. <br />Planning Manager Larson replied that the distance from the sign to the boundary of the City would <br />be 509 feet. <br />Commissioner VanScoy acknowledged that it would be pretty limited to place the sign further <br />towards the boundary. <br />Planning Manager Larson agreed, noting that the properties to the east of the sign towards the <br />border of the City may be re -developable, where this property would most likely not be <br />redeveloped as something else in the future. <br />Commissioner Musgrove referenced the sign on the other end of Ramsey and asked if this sign <br />would be comparable in height. <br />Mr. Levine replied that the sign near Alpine would be maybe 35 feet in height, whereas this would <br />be proposed at 50 feet, but acknowledged that there is no need for vehicle access near that sign. <br />Commissioner Musgrove commented that it would seem that this sign would have good visibility <br />for the highway drivers. <br />Chairperson Gengler asked if billboards are excluded from the neon sign regulations. <br />City Planner Martin replied that the Commission did not discuss off -premises billboard signs other <br />than moving them from one chapter to another, and therefore, the billboard regulations did not <br />change. He stated that the sign on the west end of Ramsey is 29.5 feet tall. <br />Chairperson Gengler asked and received confirmation that this sign would follow all restrictions <br />within the City Ordinance. <br />Planning Commission/ August 28, 2025 <br />Page 10 of 14 <br />
