Sign Code Ordinance Report April 24, 2006 Page 2 Subsequent to the April 3rd meeting, representatives from Clear Channel communicated concerns to staff regarding the elimination of the County Road 10 locations as well as three other provisions of the ordinance relating to the duration of the IUP for the relocated signs, the definition of “expansion” and wording relating to non-conforming uses. The City Attorney reviewed the concerns raised by Clear Channel and find that the ordinance should be revised relating to the duration of the IUP for the relocated signs, as the language in the earlier version of the ordinance was not completely consistent with the agreement between the City and Clear Channel. As to the other concerns, the Attorney finds that the ordinance should stand as written. The proposed revision to Section 1008.10, Subd 6 relating to the duration of the IUP is as follows: a. Interim Use Permit: An interim use permit (IUP) must be obtained in accordance with procedures identical in form and substance to the conditional use permit procedures found in Section 1125.01, subdivision 3 of the Mounds View Municipal Code. Any IUP issued for an interim use billboard shall automatically expire on July 1, 2037, or earlier if so indicated in the resolution approving the IUP. An IUP shall be null-and-void if the applicant fails to obtain any required permit from the State of Minnesota. Finally, the issue of whether or not to allow billboards on County Road 10 will likely need to be re-addressed, as representatives from Clear Channel, Medtronic and individual property owners may request such action.
