Mounds View City Council July 10, 2006 <br />Regular Meeting Page 6 <br /> <br />Acting Mayor Stigney stated he agreed with the Planning Commission’s decision that the 1 <br />billboard would affect the adjoining property in a detrimental way. He stated the property owner 2 <br />is creating the hardship by not relocating the billboard. 3 <br /> 4 <br />Councilmember Gunn stated that, looking at the rendering of the billboard, it looks to her like at 5 <br />either height, and the billboard would not obstruct the adjoining building. She stated she does 6 <br />not see the total obstruction or depreciation that would take place. 7 <br /> 8 <br />Councilmember Gunn stated she agrees with Councilmember Thomas that the issue is that the 9 <br />billboards have to be moved somewhere and the spot in question is one that the Council 10 <br />determined was acceptable. She stated the Council had to work in a “good faith” initiative to 11 <br />move the billboards. She stated the Council was not happy about the billboard on Highway 10, 12 <br />but agreed the spot in question would be the least intrusive. She stated she does not support the 13 <br />denial of the IUP. 14 <br /> 15 <br />Mayor Marty arrived at 7:44 p.m. and chaired the remainder of the meeting. 16 <br /> 17 <br />Councilmember Thomas stated, regarding the depreciation, that if Mr. Hall decided to plant a 18 <br />tree, not a single person at the table would claim the neighboring property would be depreciated 19 <br />because visibility was blocked. She added that to claim depreciation is caused by one thing or 20 <br />another is a make-believe reason to justify not approving the billboard. She stated she does not 21 <br />see any way the IUP violates code. 22 <br /> 23 <br />MOTION/SECOND: STIGNEY/MARTY.
