Planning Case No. IU00-001 <br /> <br />Property Involved: Bridges Golf Course <br />Consideration of Resolution 606-00, a Resolution Recommending Approval of an Interim Use <br />Permit to Allow for the Installation of Six Billboards on Golf Course Property. <br />Applicant: City of Mounds View <br /> <br /> <br />The applicant was present. <br /> <br />Planning Associate Ericson gave the staff report as follows: <br /> <br />The applicant, the City of Mounds View, is proposing to install six billboards on Bridges Golf <br />Course property. This action would require the approval of an Interim Use Permit (IUP), and the <br />duration of the interim use would be 15 years. There was significant discussion at the last <br />meeting of the Planning Commission concerning this issue, and some of the issues raised with <br />regard to the billboards centered upon the spacing and location of the signs, as well as their <br />design and the message content. <br /> <br />Planning Associate Ericson stated Golf Course Superintendent John Hammerschmidt has <br />conducted extensive measurements at both the Bridges Golf Course and the Sysco property, and <br />has made some calculations with regard to the siting and location of the signs, in keeping with <br />the 1,000-foot separation requirement. He indicated Superintendent Hammerschmidt was <br />present, and could speak to those issues. <br /> <br />Planning Associate Ericson stated staff has drafted Resolution 606-00, which recommends <br />approval of the IUP to the City Council with a stipulation that the City retain the ability to refuse <br />objectionable advertising content per its lease agreement with the billboard vendor. He indicated <br />the resolution also contains a stipulation which indicates that all of the billboards be constructed
