MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,November 21,2016 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> Barnhart noted the overhang of the sign would be at the property line and that no construction should <br /> occur within the right-of-way. <br /> Elenkiwich stated some construction occurred back in 2015 when the original permit was issue but the <br /> construction was stopped. There is currently some plywood over the hole. <br /> Thiesse stated his concern is whether any portion of the sign would be within the right-of-way. <br /> Elenkiwich stated it would not be. <br /> Landgraver asked if the sign would be lit 24 hours. <br /> Elenkiwich indicated the sign would be on 24 hours as well as the lights in the parking lot but that the <br /> sign is not very bright and is low voltage signage. Elenkiwich stated there is no down lighting within the <br /> canopy. <br /> Elenkiwich stated they are excited to do this project. Lunds has recently completed a big addition on the <br /> front of the building as well as a small addition for a seating area. Elenkiwich stated they have updated <br /> the appearance of the store and they are glad they are able to help redevelop the area. <br /> Landgraver commented it has always been the intent of the City to upgrade the Navarre area and Lunds' <br /> efforts are appreciated and within the spirit of what the City would like to see in Navarre. <br /> Chair Thiesse opened the public hearing at 7:18 p.m. <br /> There were no public comments. <br /> Chair Thiesse closed the public hearing at 7:18 p.m. <br /> Thiesse stated he was questioning the need for the sign until he saw the photographs. Thiesse pointed out <br /> the sign may or may not be seen if a van is parked next to it, which raises a practical difficulty. In <br /> addition,the Holiday sign appears to be higher than this sign. <br /> Landgraver noted the email raised some objections to the sign but that the Planning Commission has <br /> discussed the lighting and the visibility. <br /> Schoenzeit stated the lighting is very point specific, and from a height standpoint, the addition is higher <br /> than the sign. <br /> Elenkiwich indicated it is. <br /> Landgraver stated in his view it addresses the concerns expressed in the email. <br /> Thiesse stated since it is set back on the other piece of the right-of-way, he is comfortable with the <br /> location. <br /> Lemke asked how large the island is. <br /> Page 8 of 26 <br />
