Planning&Zoning Board <br /> April 8, 1998 <br /> Page 15 <br /> Mr. Robinson asked why there is a 1,200' setback from another zoning district. Mr. <br /> Brixius explained that he was not involved with the development of the Sign Code, so he <br /> was unsure. The only amendment that occured in 1997 was to give the RBR District the <br /> same rights as a Rural District. He guessed that possibly because it was reasonable to <br /> have them set back that distance from a district that does not allow the signs. <br /> Chair Schaps asked if they had seven different property owners involved and Mr. Brixius <br /> stated that there were five involved. <br /> Mr. Dunn asked for clarification on the type of the sign, asking if it was variable up to 80' <br /> 6", which he believed to be a very high sign. Mr. Brixius stated that they are required to <br /> stay within 40' and have indicated that they will. He said that the nine different <br /> applications had not been included in the packet,which stated those requirements. Lino <br /> Lakes does not allow signage going beyond the 40' requirement, although other <br /> communitites do. Mr. Dunn then asked if there were any other benefits beyond the <br /> building permits and fees, and Mr. Brixius stated there were not. <br /> Mr. Micheal Cronan, a representative from Universal Outdoor Inc., 8809 West Bush Lake <br /> Road, Bloominton, stated that he is joined tonight by Tom McCarver, the Real Estate <br /> representative, and Chris McCarver, the Director of Real Estate for Universal Outdoor <br /> Inc. He stated that they were available to answer any questions from the Board and ask <br /> n for approval of nine interim use permits. He explained that they had used an air photo of <br /> the area and there is no housing within 750,' but are willing to do a survey if required. In <br /> regard to Condition #4, he explained that they are very aware of the fact that the signage <br /> placed would be for a very short time, but would still like to use that location and will <br /> remove it when they are requested to do so. <br /> Mr. Corson asked how long it would take for sign removal once they were requested to <br /> do so. Mr. Cronan asked for a 30 day or 60 day notice. Mr. Brixius suggested that they <br /> include it as a condition of approval. Mr. Cronan said that they would prefer the 60 day <br /> notice. <br /> Mr. Robinson said that they should add a 60 day removal clause to Condition#3 to which <br /> Mr. Cronan agreed. <br /> Chair Schaps asked how much one of the signs cost to put up and Mr. Cronan said <br /> approximately $35,000 - $40,000. <br /> Mr. Dunn stated that on the map they appeared to be very close and wondered if that was <br /> atypical of other communities. Mr. Cronan said that State law requires 500' betweeen <br /> signs, but most cities use the 1,000' requirement. He continued saying that the Lino <br /> Lakes Ordinance is a very cautious one at 1,200'. It looked like they were close together <br /> but they would not get the "picket fence" appearance. The real constraint is the 750' <br /> radial, where you can not place them across from each other. He preferrred they had <br />
