PUBLIC HEARING: SPECIAL USE PERMIT - REAL ESTATE SIGN-
CORNER OF HANSON AND ANDOVER BLVD
The Andover Planning and Zoning Commission is asked to review the Special
Use Permit request of Gorham Builders and Tony Emmerich Construction to
erect a real estate sign on the southeast corner of Hanson Boulevard NW and
Andover Boulevard NW on the property described as PIN 26-32-24-32-0007.
Mr. Carlberg presented the applicable ordinances [Ordinance No.8, Section
5.03 and Ordinance No.8, Section 8.07 (D) (2)] as well as a general review of
,.J the request. Commissioner Pease suggested that a maintenance agreement
be included in the approval of this special use permit. Chairperson Peek
questioned how far off the ground the sign would be erected; Mr. Carlberg
thought this wouldn't be a problem because the sign permit application
regulates the height of the sign. Chairperson Peek approved of the sign itself;
however, he felt that the back of the sign should be finished, also.
Chairperson Peek opened the hearing for public testimony at 7:38 p.m.
No one appeared for public testimony. Chairperson Peek asked for a motion
to close the public hearing.
MOTION by Jovanovich, seconded by Dehn, to so move. Motion carried
on a 5-Yes (Peek, Pease, Dehn, Jonak, Jovanovich); 2-Absent (McMullen,
Apel) vote.
Mr. Carlberg clarified that a special use permit was requested because the sign
was not on Gorham's property.

Sonsteby be closed and tabled by the Planning and Zoning Commission
because of insufficient information. He will check with the city attorney and

estimates it will take about a month to set up another public hearing for this

requested by Mr. Kobs. Mr. Carlberg noted that the staff had found a remedy
to the problem and will present it at the next city council meeting.

various commission members present to the city council. He will schedule a
presentation when a member is ready to do so.
