Mounds View Planning Commission August 7, 2002 Regular Meeting Page 3 ______________________________________________________________________ Chair Stevenson asked why the right-of-way is so wide there and not for his neighbors. Planner Atkinson indicated he was not sure but said the road was reconstructed and the building is not parallel with the roadway. Chair Stevenson asked if this was prior to when the road was widened and changes made with manufactured homes. Planner Atkinson commented that farther to the north it is a standard 30 feet of right-of-way and it gets larger the farther south you go. Planner Atkinson indicated that if the sign were to become conforming it would be located only 20 feet from the building. Commissioner Miller asked if the City could require MinnValco to remove its sign. Planner Atkinson indicated that Staff would ask that the sign be removed. Chair Stevenson indicated he would like that requirement added to the resolution. Commissioner Hegland asked what the closest sign to the right-of-way would be. Planner Atkinson said that Midway Industrial Company has talked to Staff and wants to do something similar to what is being done tonight. He then said they are willing to do something to make the property conform to improve their sign. Commissioner Hegland confirmed that the sign would be located approximately15 feet from the edge of the sidewalk. Planner Atkinson agreed that 15 feet was a good approximation of the location of the sign. Commissioner Miller asked if the sign would conform to the sign code. Planner Atkinson indicated that once the variance is approved Staff would issue the sign permit and make sure that the sign meets the City’s code requirements. Chair Stevenson closed the public hearing at 7:16 p.m. MOTION/SECOND: Miller/Song. To Approve Resolution 703-02, a Resolution Approving a Variance for a Reduced Front Yard Setback for a Business Identification Sign. Ayes – 6 Nays – 0 Motion carried.
