Sysco Billboards Report <br />March 15, 2000 <br />Page 4 <br />(6) Obstruction. It is believed that the proposed billboards would not be obstructive in any <br />manner to drivers on State Highway 10. <br />In the opinion of the Planning Commission, all of the general and specific requirements and criteria <br />regarding the siting and installation of billboards are satisfied, with the sole exception of spacing <br />between the southernmost proposed Sysco billboard and the northernmost approved Bridges <br />billboard. This issue has been discussed at previous Planning Commission meetings, with the <br />Commission recommending that both applicants (DeLite and the City) work out a suitable <br />arrangement to the satisfaction of both parties. While negotiations and meetings between the two <br />have taken place, no agreement has been reached that would not involve the granting of a variance to <br />one of the applicants. Given that, DeLite representatives have been advised that the burden of <br />obtaining a variance should be DeLite's and not the City's. <br />Recommendation: <br />Approve Planning Commission Resolution 610-00, a resolution which recommends to the City <br />Council approval of an interim use permit for DeLite Outdoor Advertising Inc., representing Sysco <br />Foods of Minnesota, contingent upon (1) application for and approval of a variance from Section <br />1008.08, Subd. l Oc of the City Code regarding minimum spacing requirements, (2) redesigning the <br />proposed billboards to be more consistent with the design of the billboards approved for the Bridges <br />Golf Course property, (3) approval of MnDOT permits and (4) recordation of the Council resolution <br />of approval with Ramsey County. <br />�'• �t�� ��-u,�� <br />Ja�nes Ericson, Planner <br />I <br />N:\DATA\GROUPS\COMDEV�DEVCASES\iu00-002\Sysco Billboards Report - March 15, 2000.doc <br />
