Mounds View City Council August 23, 1999 Regular Meeting Page 18 handled as an entirely different matter. He stated he believed this was also the perspective of the Planning Commission. Council Member Marty stated he agreed. Mayor Coughlin stated this was also his understanding. MOTION/SECOND: Marty/Thomason. To Approve the First Reading of Ordinance No 637, an Ordinance Amending Chapter 10089 (Signs and Billboards) of the Mounds View Municipal Code Pertaining to Permitted Signage in PF Public Facilities and CRP Conservancy, Recreation, Preservation Zoning Districts, Planning Case SP-073-99. Ayes—4 Nays—0 Motion carried. Council Member Stigney stated that he believed this item should stand alone, and it appeared to him that it is being modified at this time. He stated he would like to see any modifications that are different from this ordinance, handled separately, and not as a part of this ordinance. Mayor Coughlin stated this could be addressed upon the Second Reading and if necessary, it can be amended at that time. Council Member Stigney stated that if the wording was going to expand to allow billboards at the golf course, he objected to at this time. He added he was in favor of approving the First Reading of the ordinance, as it is presently written. C. Public Hearing and Second Reading of Ordinance No. 640, an Ordinance Amending Title 900, Chapter 902 Relating to Driveways and Repealing Provisions of Chapter 902 Relating to Street Openings Mayor Coughlin opened the Public Hearing at 8:30 p.m. There was no public input. Mayor Coughlin closed the Public Hearing at 8:31 p.m. Mayor Coughlin stated that one of the first volatile episodes with the Council was the discussion of curb cuts and corner lots. He stated the spirit of this issue is in regard to the sections being removed from this Chapter, due to the addition of the undergrounding. He stated he thought it would be more efficient, and would save the City both time and money to incorporate the discussions of curb cuts into this Chapter. He added he was in favor of approving the First Reading of this ordinance, as written. He stated, however, he would request the Council direct staff to include the curb cut discussions and related issues from earlier in the year, into the language, to provide that the same ordinance does not have to go through the entire process again. City Administrator Whiting explained that this item was the Second Reading of this ordinance, and any changes should be made prior to the vote. Mayor Coughlin stated he would then request the Council continue this matter until a later meeting for final approval.
