Mounds View City Council May 23, 2016 <br />Regular Meeting Page 6 <br /> <br />MOTION/SECOND: Mueller/Meehlhause. To Waive the Second Reading and Adopt <br />Ordinance 917, an Ordinance Revising Title 1100 of the Mounds View City Code Regarding <br />Carports and Accessory Uses. <br /> <br />Council Member Meehlhause thanked Planner Sevald and the Planning Commission for their <br />work on this item. <br /> <br />ROLL CALL: Gunn/Hull/Meehlhause/Mueller/ Flaherty. <br /> <br /> Ayes – 5 Nays – 0 Motion carried. <br /> <br />E. 7:00 p.m. Public Hearing to Consider Resolution 8582, a Resolution to <br />Consider a Conditional Use Permit for a Dynamic Display Sign for Messiah <br />Lutheran Church located at 2848 County Road H2. <br /> <br />Planner Sevald stated Messiah Lutheran Church would like to replace their existing 8’ x 4’ <br />ground sign at the corner of County Road H2 and Knollwood Drive with an 8’ x 5’ multi-colored <br />dynamic display sign at the same location. It was noted the existing sign encroaches into the 30’ <br />sight triangle, and is therefore a non-conforming structure. He reported dynamic display signs <br />were limited to amber coloring in residential neighborhoods. Staff reviewed the request in <br />further detail and explained the Planning Commission recommended approval of the Conditional <br />Use Permit as requested. He explained the Planning Commission tabled action on the variance <br />request for the color sign and directed staff to draft an Ordinance amendment that would allow <br />full color signs at institutional uses, churches and schools within a residential area. <br /> <br />Mayor Flaherty opened the public hearing at 7:44 p.m. <br /> <br />Hearing no public input, Mayor Flaherty closed the public hearing at 7:44 p.m. <br /> <br />Council Member Mueller thanked staff for the thorough report. She understood the brightness of <br />the sign would be limited for day and night time hours. She stated because no residents came <br />forward offering opposition to the proposed sign, she would support the full color dynamic <br />display sign. <br /> <br />Council Member Gunn asked if the applicant was aware the sign could not flash and move. <br />Planner Sevald reported the applicant was aware of this requirement. <br /> <br />Mayor Flaherty indicated he met with Pastor Klaus and discussed the sign request. He <br />questioned if it was necessary to complete a code amendment. City Administrator Ericson <br />reported this would be required if the Council supported allowing a full-color dynamic display <br />sign in the R-1 district for the church. <br /> <br />MOTION/SECOND: Meehlhause/Mueller. To Waive the Reading and Adopt Resolution 8582, <br />a Resolution to Consider a Conditional Use Permit for a Dynamic Display Sign for Messiah <br />Lutheran Church located at 2848 County Road H2.
