LAKE ELMO PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTE

M/S/P Stevens/Haacke - to approve the November 28, 1988 Planning

3. Concept: CUP & Variance
(Ad Venture Media, Inc,; J. Olson)
Jamie Olson, representing Ad Venture Media and a part owner of
slightly more than one acre in Section 36 along 1-94 which she felt
was difficult, if not impossible, to put it to any other use other
than a sign structure, lighted 10' x 20' advertising sign. A variance
is needed for the sign location because the sign would be less than
the minimum 3,000 ft. horizontal distance that is required between
advertising signs which are located on the same side of the street.
There has been two previous applications and this application is
identical to that which was denied in 1986.
DeLapp asked for the names of the other owners be put on the
application. DeLapp added that the applicant has to show a hardship
and an economic hardship was not a valid reason for granting a
variance. He also made the applicant aware of our ordinance stating
signs may only be lit during normal business hours. The applicant
stated she may consider a variance to this ordinance.
Administrator Morrison suggested Ms. Olson contact the Deputy Clerk
with the owners' names and then a public hearing will be scheduled
before the Planning Commission.
4. Comprehensive Plan
Commi.ssionmember Williams reported when she was going through the 201
Program file, she found a a memo from Administrator Whitaker, June 22,
1982, stating there had been an amendment to the 1979 Comp Plan to
include the 201 Project. On July 6, 1982 a Resolution was passed by
the City Council, but this amendment had not been placed in the Comp
Plan.

amendments to the Comp Plan that were never printed in a format and
physically placed in the Plan. She suggested the Commission research

The Planning Commission is an advisory body to the City
Council. One of the Commission's functions is to hold public hearings
and make recommendations to the City Council. The City Council makes
all final decisions on these matters.
Lake Elmo Ordinances require that certain documents and
information be included in applications. The Planning Commission may
postpone consideration of an application that is incomplete and may
for other reasons postpone final action on an application.
For each item, the Commission will receive reports prepared
by the City Staff, open the hearing to the public, and discuss and act
on the application. If you are aware of information that hasn't been
discussed, please fill out a "Request to Appear Before the Planning
Commission" slip; or, if you came late, raise your hand to be
recognized. Comments that are pertinent are appreciated.
