Mr. Turner presented a summary of Case 11SN0146 and stated the Planning Commission and staff recommended approval and acceptance of one proffered condition.

James and Gail Davis requested the Board's approval based on the proffered condition. In response to Ms. Jaeckle's question, Ms. Orr stated staff is reviewing language for conditions that would require the sign's programming to be "locked" in order to display only messages that comply with the County's policy and that would give the Planning Director that administrative ability through a sign permit process to alter a sign's requirements (such as for message color, timing and permitted lines of copy) if the sign would still meet the policy.

In response to Ms. Durfee's question, Ms. Orr stated .the applicant's sign does not have the capability to be locked due to the way it was manufactured. She further stated it is her understanding that the technology exists that would give manufactures the ability to lock programming for electronic message center signs.

He further stating this specific requirement is not currently in the Board's policy. Mr. Warren expressed concerns relative to the necessity for enforcement of sign violations and stated a policy change to require a locking feature for electronic message center signs should be adopted by the Board. He further stated it would not be fair to penalize the applicant, whose proposal conforms to the current policy. He stated message signs have the capability of being locked. Ms. Jaeckle stated it would be unfair to impose a "locking" conditions in this case or hold up the applicant to run this possible policy change through the planning process since their proposal conforms to all the conditions of the current policy. Mr. Gecker stated he would need more information regarding the process of locking electronic message signs and expressed concerns relative to cost effectiveness.

Mr. Warren requested that Mr. Stegmaier provide the Board with mechanisms that staff would use to determine on a regular basis whether signs are violating the policy. Ms. Durfee stated staff should provide preliminary information to the Board regarding the capability of electronic message signs being locked. Mr. Holland then made a motion, seconded by Mr. Warren, for the Board to direct the Planning Commission to review the proposed new policy change relative to a locking function for electronic message center signs and provide a preliminary report to the Board in regards to implementation and cost effectiveness. Ayes: Holland, Warren, and Durfee. Nays: Gecker and Jaeckle. 11SN1064 In Dale Magisterial District, Bonnie L.
