111 Mounds View Planning Commission May 5, 1999 <br /> Regular Meeting Page 3 <br /> Commissioner Johnson asked how many signs the golf course would be limited to. Jopke stated <br /> he thinks eleven potential sites were identified but two did not have access and several of the <br /> remaining nine were not on the golf course property. <br /> Commissioner Laube agreed that several, perhaps three, were not on the golf course property. <br /> Commissioner Berke asked if there will be a problem with State approval of the permit. Jopke <br /> stated that could be the case. Berke asked if this process should be completed so State approval <br /> is first ascertained. <br /> Commissioner Kaden asked if it would "open the door" for anybody to get a CUP. Jopke stated <br /> it is correct that anyone who abides by all of the conditions would be able to make application. <br /> Commissioner Laube asked if there will be problems should the golf course be rezoned. Jopke <br /> stated this will depend on the zoning selected. If PF, he stated he would not anticipate major <br /> problems since golf courses are permitted in that district and would not "open the door" for a lot <br /> of other requests. <br /> • Commissioner Laube suggested staff contact the State to see if they would allow billboards in a <br /> PF zoning district prior to the Commission spending a lot of time on the issues. He stated if the <br /> State has no problem with billboards then the Commission could start looking at what <br /> surrounding communities have for billboard requirements such as size, height, etc. Also, the State <br /> may have maximum standards that can be reviewed. <br /> Commissioner Kaden asked staff to find out if Shoreview permits billboards. <br /> Acting Chairperson Miller explained the Golf Course Superintendent was charged with finding <br /> additional sources of revenue but she wonders if there may be other opportunities that are not as <br /> cumbersome as the billboard process. <br /> Commissioner Berke asked if there is any indication of the revenue estimated from the billboards. <br /> Council Liaison Stigney advised it was estimated at $1,000 per sign per month. Jopke agreed the <br /> revenue ranged from $1,000 to $2,000 per sign per month. Commissioner Laube stated his <br /> recollection is that the revenue is based on size, location, and customer. <br /> Commissioner Johnson stated he does not think the community will support billboards on the golf <br /> course and he is concerned about"opening the door" for billboards along Highway 10 or 35W. <br /> Jopke stated staff will conduct further research on State requirements and whether there is merit <br /> • to pursue this option. He stated he will also ask the State and neighboring communities what <br />
