Clear Channel IUP Report July 10, 2006 Page 4 (8) Adequate utilities, access roads, drainage and necessary facilities have been or will be provided. Access to the billboards will be gained via Woodale Drive and Program Avenue.. Based on the review of the adverse effects criteria and the general CUP requirements, criteria, it appears to staff the proposed billboard satisfies all relevant code requirements and regulations pertaining to billboards in the community, consistent with Ordinance 769 and the Relocation agreement. Public Notice: Staff sent notices to property owners within 350 feet of the Building A property and published a copy of the notice in the June 28, 2006 edition of the Bulletin. No residents or property owners have contacted staff regarding the request. Summary: The requested Interim Use Permit appears to satisfy all Code requirements and would not appear to cause any appreciable adverse impacts to the area in which the billboard would be located. The Planning Commission has recommended approval of the IUP request, their resolution is attached for the Council’s reference. Recommendation: Hold the public hearing and discuss the request for the IUP. Based on staff’s review and the Planning Commission’s recommendation of approval, Resolution 6876 approving the Interim Use Permit request has been prepared and is available for the Council’s action. If approved, Clear Channel would then request a permit from the Minnesota department of Transportation (MnDOT.) If additional information is necessary before action can occur, a motion to table or postpone would be in order. If the City Council does not believe a billboard at this location satisfies the intent of the Code requirements, staff would need to be directed to draft a resolution of denial for action at the next Council meeting occurring on July 24, 2006 _____________________________________ James Ericson Community Development Director
