RESOLUTION NO. 89-01
A RESOLUTION DENYING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO ADAMS
OUTDOOR ADVERTISING IN ITS REQUEST TO ERECT BILLBOARDS
WITHIN THE CORPORATE LIMITS OF THE CITY OF LINO LAKES.
WHEREAS:
Adams Outdoor Advertising Company on October
18, 1988 made application with the City of
Lino Lakes to erect two billboards to be
located within the corporate limits of the
city; and,
WHEREAS: The sites selected by Adams for the 45 foot
high, 672 square foot signs were the two
diamond interchange areas within the city;
and,
WHEREAS:
WHEREAS:
WHEREAS:
The Lino Lakes Sign Ordinance states in
Section 4A2 that billboards are special or
conditional uses and in Section 4FF that
no sign exceeding 50 square feet in size
and 30 feet in height can be erected prior
to Planning and Zoning Board and City
Council approval; and,
The Lino Lakes Zoning Ordinance in Section
5, Subdivision 5 outlines procedures to be
followed in considering conditional use
requests and lists criteria to be followed
in granting the permits; and,
Adams' application was reviewed by the Lino
Lakes Economic Development Committee at its
meeting of November 16, 1988 and the members
determined that 1) the sites chosen by the
applicant were in areas where considerable
planning for commercial and industrial
development had been completed, 2) the sites
were in or near areas currently being con-
sidered for major commercial and industrial
development, and 3) the billboards would not
be conducive to the development of these
several properties; and,
WHEREAS: Adams' application was reviewed by the Lino
Lakes Planning and Zoning Board at its meeting
of December 14, 1988 and that it reviewed the
application based on conditional use permit
standards found in Section 5, Subdivision 5
(2) of the Lino Lakes Zoning Ordinance; and,
WHEREAS: The Planning and Zoning Board determined that
the billboards would:
WHEREAS:
1. Not be harmonious with the general and
applicable specific plans and policies
of the Comprehensive Plan of the city
and the zoning ordinance.
2. Not be designed, constructed, operated,
and maintained so as to be harmonious
and appropriate in appearance with the
existing and/or intended character of
the general vicinity and will not
change the essential character of that
area.
3. ...be detrimental to the economic
welfare of the community; and,
The Planning and Zoning Board could not make
all of the findings necessary to recommend
approval of the conditional use permit, it
recommended on December 14, 1988 that the City
Council deny the permit request; and,
WHEREAS: The Lino Lakes City Planner recommended in
several written memoranda and staff reports
prepared prior to January 9, 1989 that erection
of the billboards be denied as they would
make development of the two commercial and
industrial sites more difficult; and,
WHEREAS: The Lino Lakes City Council considered Adams'
application at its meeting of December 27,
1988 and in individual statements agreed with
the findings of the Economic Development
Committee, the Planning and Zoning Board, and
the city planner and directed the city planner
to prepare a resolution denying the conditional
use permit;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
LINO LAKES, MINNESOTA:
That the conditional use permit request from Adams Outdoor
Advertising to erect two billboards within the corporate
limits of Lino Lakes is denied.
Adopted by the Council of the City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota
this ninth day of January, 1989.
