Mounds View Planning Commission April 7, 1999 <br /> • Regular Meeting Page 8 <br /> Commissioner Kaden stated since KinderCare was not allowed a commercial district initially, he <br /> would consider that to be a hardship. <br /> Chair Peterson noted that without the variance, this commercial use would be denied the privilege <br /> of signage enjoyed by other commercial uses. <br /> Commissioner Stevenson addressed one of the concerns expressed by Western Bank related to <br /> safety of the sign placement. He reviewed the last WHEREAS as contained in the proposed <br /> resolution and stated it is part of staff's responsibility, as it relates to sign placement, to assure it <br /> would not endanger public safety. <br /> Chair Peterson noted the existing wall sign will be removed and discarded so the final square <br /> footage will remain below the allowable square footage. Ericson clarified that the building sign <br /> will be replaced by another sign. <br /> MOTION/SECOND: Stevenson/Miller to adopt Planning Commission Resolution 575-99, a <br /> resolution approving a variance from Chapter 1008 of the Municipal Code pertaining to signage <br /> to allow a permanent, freestanding pylon sign at 2791 Highway 10, KinderCare Learning Center, <br /> • Planning Case No. 549-99. <br /> 1 (Johnson)- 7 Nays - The motion carried. <br /> Commissioner Johnson stated he voted against the request due to the price of the variance and <br /> indication it says R-1/R-2 so they are benefitting from a commercial use without paying the price. <br /> Commissioner Stevenson suggested the Commission inquire regarding the tax impact should the <br /> property be rezoned to commercial. <br /> Chair Peterson noted a mistake was made in the cost of the variance and asked staff to research <br /> that issue. <br /> 7.
