U Vii R \I 1 LD Page 3 April 27, 1998 Mounds View City Council 1 Mayor McCarty opened the Public Hearing at 7:09 p.m. 2 3 Mr.Jim Ericson,Planning Associate,explained that this Ordinance will amend the sign code so that 4 installation of wall signs,such as those individual tenant signs displayed on the Moundsview Square or 5 Silver View Plaza buildings would require a building permit and be required to pay a building permit fee 6 whereas up to this point they were exempted. 7 8 The impact to the city is somewhat substantial. Over the past five years,it is estimated that an average of 9 15 permits would be before the city for a wall sign. Typically the permit fee for this would be 10 approximately$70.00. Over the course of five years,this would have amounted to approximately$4,500 11 in lost fees. The impact to the tenant is not significant and this permit requirement is typical for most 12 cities. 13 14 MOTION/SECOND: Quick/Stigney to approve the first reading of Ordinance No.607,an Ordinance 15 Amending Chapter 1008 of the Municipal Code pertaining to"Signs and Billboards",and to waive the 16 reading. 17 18 With no input from the public,Mayor McCarty closed the Public Hearing at 7:11 p.m. 19 20 Mayor McCarty stated he would not be supporting this Ordinance. The charges for putting the signs on the 21 interior walls of the businesses is just one more expense to the businesses and he does not see it as a great 22 help to the city's revenue structure. 23 24 ROLL CALL VOTE: 25 26 Mayor McCarty nay 27 Council member Koopmeiners: aye 28 Council member Stigney aye 29 Council member Quick aye 30 31 Motion Carries-(3 - 1 ) 32 33 34 B. Consideration of Resolution No. 5228,a Resolution Approving a Development Review and 35 Wetland Buffer Permit for the Bridges Technology Park Phase II Expansion,8400 Coral Sea Street, 36 Requested by Bridges Leasing Company,LLC. 37 38 Mr.Ericson explained that the first phase of this building currently exists on Coral Sea Street. The 39 proposal before the Council is to expand the development to the North on Lot 2,adding 35,000 square feet 40 for a total build-out of 64,376 square feet. City Code requires that a Development Review be completed. 41 All of the dimensional requirements of this development have been met. The drainage plan has been 42 reviewed by the City Engineer as well as the Rice Creek Watershed District and a watershed district permit 43 has been issued. The existing retention pond just West of the existing building will capture any run-off 44 from the new development and therefore the run-off will not affect the wetland. The only issue that 45 currently does not comply with City Code is the parking. The applicant is proposing to construct 171 46 spaces;the city code requires 200 spaces. The developer has the availability to build 214 spaces,however
