Mounds View Planning Commission May 19, 1999 <br /> • Regular Meeting Page 9 <br /> Commissioner Hegland stated that the Planning Commission should determine if there would be <br /> enough revenue generated from the billboards to justify further consideration. <br /> Chair Peterson stated that they should address the issues of desirability versus economics. He stated <br /> that the type of signs that should be allowed in a PF district are identification signs, and billboards <br /> might not be appropriate. He stated that he had received only negative response from the community <br /> regarding billboards. He stated that there were a number of roadblocks to overcome regarding the <br /> State requirements, and asked if there was a way around the State's stance regarding re-zoning. <br /> Jopke stated that he believed this could be overcome, but whether to approach the issue from the <br /> standpoint of usage or re-zoning need further discussion in order to draw a conclusion. He stated <br /> that he would continue to investigate the State requirements, and conduct further research. <br /> B.
