<br /> <br /> <br />Clear Channel IUP Report <br />April 4, 2007 <br />Page 3 <br /> <br />Adverse Effects Criteria: <br /> <br />(1) Relationship to Municipal Comprehensive Plan. <br /> <br />The Comprehensive Plan does not address or contemplate the issue of billboards. <br /> <br />(2) The geographical area involved. <br /> <br />Outlot A is the undeveloped industrially zoned parcel between Sysco and Medtronic. South <br />of the site is the passive Ardan Park and the Laport Meadows wetland and open space. <br /> <br />(3) Whether such use will tend to or actually depreciate the area in which it is proposed. <br /> <br />It is not believed that the placement and installation of the billboard on Outlot A property <br />would have a negative or depreciatory effect upon the subject property or adjoining <br />properties. <br /> <br />(4) The character of the surrounding area. <br /> <br />This area of Mounds View is dominated by office / warehouse and industrial uses. There <br />are no adjacent residential properties and the closest residentially zoned lots are south of <br />the site on the other side of US Hwy 10. <br /> <br />(5) The demonstrated need for such use. <br /> <br />Based on the requirement that Clear Channel has had to remove and relocate four <br />billboards from the former golf course property, it can be stated that the proposed location is <br />one of only a few locations designated at which Clear Channel is able to site a billboard. <br /> <br /> <br />In addition to the adverse effects criteria, the City is to also consider the General Conditional <br />Use Permit criteria found in Section 1125.01 Subd. 3 as part of the consideration: <br /> <br />(1) The use will not create an excessive burden on existing parks, schools, streets and <br />other public facilities and utilities that serve or are proposed to serve the area. <br /> <br />The Installation of a billboard will not create or cause a burden to public facilities. <br /> <br />(2) The use will be sufficiently compatible or separated by distance or screening from <br />adjacent residentially zoned or used land so that existing homes will not be depreciated in <br />value and there will be no deterrence to development of vacant land. <br /> <br />It does not appear as though the billboard will be visible from any residentially zoned <br />property in the City and that the installation of the billboard would not have a detrimental <br />effect on the development of any vacant land in the area. <br /> <br />
