<br />Mounds View Planning Commission February 16, 2000 <br />Regular Meeting Page 14 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Commissioner Laube inquired if this had been done when the last ordinance was passed in favor <br />of billboards, which would have been the first opportunity that Sysco had to apply for a permit. <br /> <br />Planning Associate Ericson explained that the City has been discussing billboards for quite some <br />time, and the ordinance that allows for billboards was adopted in December. <br /> <br />Commissioner Laube inquired regarding the nature of the signs represented with blue dots on the <br />site plan. Planning Associate Ericson stated these signs were for the golf course. <br /> <br />Commissioner Laube inquired regarding the maximum square footage of these signs, and if they <br />meet with the square footage requirements of the Public Facilities District. <br /> <br />Planning Associate Ericson stated the maximum square footage was 340 square feet, and was <br />similar to a B-3 use requirement. <br /> <br />Commissioner Laube inquired if this exceeded the maximum square footage allowed in the City <br />Code. <br /> <br />Planning Associate Ericson stated the ordinance adopted by the Council allows for signage up to <br />340 square feet in the Public Facilities and the Conservancy, Recreational, and Preservation <br />Zoning District. <br /> <br />Commissioner Stevenson inquired if these signs would be consistent with the other billboards. <br /> <br />Chairperson Peterson stated that according to the proposal, there was to be money set aside for <br />the purpose of creating a sign design according to City standards, therefore, the City would <br />chose what type of signs these would be. <br /> <br />Mr. Cronin stated they have offered two images, and would work with the City to find an <br />acceptable design. <br /> <br />Chairperson Peterson stated that the proposal for the two most westerly signs to the edge of the <br />wetland area indicates that they are initially to be constructed as standard monopole billboard <br />structures, and the question of the construction materials of the signs is addressed in the <br />proposal, by the applicant. He noted however, there was nothing in the ordinance that specifies <br />the design of the signs. <br /> <br />Planning Associate Ericson stated this was correct. <br /> <br />Commissioner Kaden inquired if notices of this hearing had been mailed to the affected <br />residents. <br />
