Item No: 5B Meeting Date: May 18, 2016 Type of Business: Planning Case MU2016-001 To: Mounds View Planning Commission From: Jon Sevald, Planner Re: Consider Resolution 1049-16, a Resolution approving a Variance for a ground sign encroaching within the 30’ sight triangle, and less than 15’ setback from a property line, to be located at 2848 Co Rd H2; Planning Case MU2016-001 (VR2016-002). Date: May 18, 2016 Introduction Messiah Lutheran Church would like to replace their existing 8’ X 4’ ground sign at the corner of Co Rd H2 and Knollwood Dr. with an 8’ X 5’ multi-colored Dynamic Display sign at the same location. The existing sign encroaches into the 30’ sight triangle, and is less than 15’ setback from a property line (approximately 14’ from Knollwood Dr. ROW), and is therefore a non-conforming structure. Messiah Lutheran Church has applied for three permits: (1) Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for a Dynamic Display Sign in a non-business district; (2) Variance to setback; and (3) Variance for non-amber color. The permits may be discussed together, but must be acted upon separately (separate Public Hearings). The City Council will conduct the Public Hearing for the CUP. The Planning Commission, acting as the Board of Adjustment, will conduct the Public Hearings for the Variances. Discussion Signs must be setback a minimum of 15’ from the property line, and cannot be within the sight triangle of a street intersection. The sight triangle is an area, 30’ from intersecting property lines.1 About half of the existing sign is within the sight triangle. The proposed ground sign with a dynamic display would be in the same location. The property line is about 19’ from the Co Rd H2 curb, and about 16’ from the Knollwood Dr. curb. 1 City Code, Section 1008.10, Subd 1(b) M E M O
