She stated she does not see 1 <br />the total obstruction or depreciation that would take place. 2 <br /> 3 <br />Councilmember Gunn stated she agrees with Councilmember Thomas that the issue is that the 4 <br />billboards have to be moved somewhere and the spot in question is one that the Council 5 <br />determined was acceptable. She stated the Council had to work in a “good faith” initiative to 6 <br />move the billboards. She stated the Council was not happy about the billboard on Highway 10, 7 <br />but agreed the spot in question would be the least intrusive. She stated she does not support the 8 <br />denial of the IUP. 9 <br /> 10 <br />Mayor Marty arrived at 7:44 p.m. and chaired the remainder of the meeting. 11 <br /> 12 <br />Councilmember Thomas stated, regarding the depreciation, that if Mr. Hall decided to plant a 13 <br />tree, not a single person at the table would claim the neighboring property would be depreciated 14 <br />because visibility was blocked. She added that to claim depreciation is caused by one thing or 15 <br />another is a make-believe reason to justify not approving the billboard. She stated she does not 16 <br />see any way the IUP violates code. 17 <br /> 18 <br />MOTION/SECOND: STIGNEY/MARTY.

He explained where the 36 <br />billboard would be located and that it was one of the sites the City identified as a potential site 37 <br />for a relocated billboard. 38 <br /> 39 <br />Director Ericson stated the Planning Commission considered potential for adverse effects at the 40 <br />location and did not identify any. He stated the Planning Commission considered a reduced 41 <br />setback variance and explained that there is a storm water management pond at the northeast 42 <br />corner of the property forcing the billboard to be set back 5 feet from the property line, which is 43 <br />30 feet from the roadway. He stated the City Engineer Technician and Public Works Director 44 <br />Lee did not anticipate a problem. 45
