Resolution 6875 Option A Page 2 2. Ordinance 769 identified the subject parcel where a billboard could be located. 3. The proposed billboard would not cause any adverse impacts to the subject property or any adjacent properties. 4. The proposed billboard would not be visible from or cause adverse impacts to residential properties in the area. 5. The proposed billboard would not cause a burden to City services and would not cause congestion or result in additional generated traffic. 6. The proposed billboard is not inconsistent with the City’s Comprehensive Plan. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Mounds View City Council makes the following findings of fact relating to the Clear Channel Outdoor application for a Variance for a 45-foot tall billboard at 2200 County Road 10: 1. Exceptional or extraordinary circumstances apply to the property which result from circumstances over which the Applicant has had no control, in that the maximum height was recently established by the Mounds View City Council without the benefit of a sight-line analysis or computer generated billboard rendering. The additional ten feet from 35 feet to 45 feet will provide the necessary clearance above existing signs and buildings. 2. The literal interpretation of the provisions of this Title would deprive the Applicant of unobstructed visibility to its proposed billboard and would obscure to some extent existing ground and building signs. 3. The special conditions or circumstances do not result from the actions of the Applicant which is attempting to relocate a billboard consistent with the terms of the approved relocation agreement. 4. Granting the variance would not confer on the Applicant any special privilege that is denied by this Title to owners of other lands, structures or buildings in the same district, in that the Applicant is uniquely affected by Ordinance 769 and the Relocation Agreement. 5. The variance requested is the minimum variance which would alleviate the hardship which has been graphically illustrated by the Applicant. 6. The variance would not be materially detrimental to the purpose of this Title or to other property in the same zone. 7. The proposed variance will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property or substantially increase the congestion of the public streets or increase the danger of fire or endanger the public safety or substantially diminish or impair property values within the neighborhood.
