<br /> <br />Clear Channel IUP Report <br />July 5, 2006 <br />Page 6 <br /> <br />Public Notice: <br /> <br />Staff sent notices to property owners within 350 feet of the Mermaid property and published <br />a copy of the notice in the June 7, 2006 edition of the Bulletin. Three residents (addressed <br />on Sherwood Road, Eastwood Road and Sunnyside Road) have contacted me expressing <br />their opposition to granting the variance for additional height; one such correspondence was <br />included in the Planning Commission’s staff report from June 21. The owner of the Pettibone <br />site on County Road H also contacted staff regarding the notice but did not express any <br />concern regarding the placement of the billboard. <br /> <br /> <br />Summary: <br /> <br />With the exception of the issue necessitating the variance, the requested Interim Use Permit <br />appears to satisfy all Code requirements and would not appear to cause any appreciable <br />adverse impacts to the area in which the billboard is located. While some argue that any <br />billboard on County Road 10 is contrary to the City’s goal of improving and enhancing the <br />image and appeal of the corridor, this site has been identified by the City Council as a <br />potential location for a billboard. <br /> <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />Continue discussion regarding the IUP and variance requests and determine whether a <br />recommendation of approval or denial should be forwarded on to the City Council for their <br />consideration. Attached to this report are separate resolutions of approval and denial for the <br />variance and the IUP. The variance request should be considered first with the IUP <br />considered immediately thereafter. The resolutions would be presented for the City Council’s <br />consideration on July 10, 2006. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />_____________________________________ <br />James Ericson <br />Community Development Director <br />
