Review of Signage Ordinance Definitions. <br />Planner Melanie Curtis reviewed a list of potential signage ordinance definitions with the Planning <br />Conmiission. The discussion included whether certain included definitions were needed, noting that <br />additional definitions might be added once the text of the ordinance is under review. Commissioners <br />discussed the variety of signage types that might be attempted in the City and how to address them. <br />Planning Commissioners concluded that a visual review of signage types would be helpful. Curtis <br />suggested that staff take pictures of all existing signage in the City, plus signage elsewhere, for review <br />and analysis at the next work session, to allow the Commissioners to decide what types of signage are <br />appropriate and which are not. Gaffron noted this would also provide a chance to do a complete <br />inventory of the existing commercial signage in the City. <br />3. Review of November 15 Meeting Agenda <br />Staff briefly reviewed the items that would be appearing on the upcoming agenda for November 15 <br />4. Joint Meeting regarding Rural Oasis Study <br />Gaffron noted that the joint meeting with Council would likely be held in December rather than <br />November. <br />S.Other <br />Kempf gave an update on the recent Council meeting regarding the Large Vehicle Storage ordinance. <br />Gaffron added that the final version was slightly changed from that recommended by the Commission, <br />requiring only that an easement be in place for shared driveways rather than approval by all parties. <br />There being no additional business to discuss, the meeting was adjourned at 7:12 p.m <br />David Rabn, Chair <br />Page 2 <br />1
