Mounds View City Council February 28, 2000 Regular Meeting Page 32 City Administrator Whiting stated they were not. He explained that the effort was not being approached in the same manner as it had been the previous year. City Attorney Long advised that part of the strategy of getting the Bill passed is to limit its scope to the Anoka County-Blaine Airport, therefore, the municipalities are not in the same coalition. He explained that issues have been raised with regard to other airports, and they were attempting to avoid getting tied up in those issues. Council Member Stigney inquired regarding the communities surrounding the Anoka County- Blaine Airport. Mayor Coughlin indicated the Mayor of Lionel Lakes has requested further information on this matter, and he would be in contact with him in this regard. Ayes – 5 Nays – 0 Motion carried. G. First Reading of Ordinance Creating an Interim Use Authority By Creating a New Chapter 1126 as to the Interim Uses in the City, and Setting a Public Hearing and Second Reading for March 13, 2000 at 7:15 P.M. City Attorney Long stated this item was procedural in nature. He indicated that when the City decided to place the 15 year limit on the billboards, the mechanism for this had to be changed from the strict Conditional Use Permit process, which could not contain time restriction, to an Interim Use. He advised that by State Statute, the City must adopt its own ordinance accepting the State authority to do this, in order to accomplish this. He explained this was the first reading of the ordinance, after which it would proceed to the Planning Commission for consideration, and would come back before the City Council at their meeting on March 13. MOTION/SECOND: Thomason/Quick. To Waive the Reading and Approve the First Reading of Ordinance No. , an Ordinance Creating an Interim Use Authority By Creating a New Chapter 1126 as to the Interim Uses in the City. G. First Reading of Ordinance Amending Ordinance 644 Section 108 as to Interim Use Permits for Billboards, and Setting the Public Hearing and Second Reading for March 13, 2000, at 7:20 P.M. City Attorney Long stated this was the same issue addressed with the previous item, and was simply changing the word “conditional” to “interim,” in order to comply with the new requirement of a 15-year limitation. City Attorney Long advised that the dates in Ordinance 644 have been amended to more correctly reflect the 15-year time period. He explained that when this item initially came forward, and the 15-year limit was introduced, the January 2015 ate was selected. He stated at this time, the process would require a few more months, therefore, it was suggested that the date be amended to be more in line with the true 15-year period of time on the golf course, in terms of revenue ability. He explained that from the City’s perspective, this amendment would allow the City to obtain the benefit of the full 15 years.
