Page 9 June 24, 1996 Mounds View City Council Mayor Linke opened the Public Hearing at 8:07 p.m. Ms.Pruitt explained that currently Section 1008.11,entitled"Signs and Billboards", is included within Title 1000,entitled"Building"and thus the variance procedure included in Title 1100,entitled"Zoning" does not apply to the existing sign code. Amending the sign code to add a variance provision would provide relief to landowners in cases where Title 1008 imposes undue hardship or practical difficulties through establishing criteria for granting sign variances. She proceeded to read the proposed amendments. Ms.Pruitt noted that staff received an inquiry regarding signage in R-5 Mobile Home District. Currently the sign code does not break down the specific maximum signage area for R-5 districts and staff is requesting that language be drafted by the second reading of the Ordinance to address the maximum signage area requirements for R-5 zoning districts. She stated she had spoken with the City Attorney and he felt if the council so desired, language could be drafted by the next meeting.
