Item 08D <br />Page 2of2 <br />Art, generally not regulated by cities surveyed. <br />Sign, generally permitted as a "Ground Sign". <br />Strategic Plan Strategy/Goal: <br />Beautification of Mounds View Blvd: Cooperate with Ramsey County in implementing new <br />features and improved beautification, aesthetics, and landscaping including but not limited to <br />different plant species in median that looks professional, clean, and neat. Conduct and budget <br />for improvements in phases and use Hwy 96 as an example. <br />Consider a fagade and landscaping policy that is more robust while allowing for native pollinator <br />plant species and other alternative landscaping that looks professional and pleasing including <br />but not limited to urban gardening and creative energy saving projects. <br />Financial Impact: <br />N/A <br />Planning Commission Recommendation: <br />The Planning Commission discussed at their April 19, 2023 meeting, recommending Ground <br />signs to stay the same; Wall signs to be 200sf or 40% of wall area, whichever is smaller (same <br />as New Brighton), and to allow rooftop signs up to 10', but no temporary signs above the roof <br />(Resolution 1158-23). The Commission is supportive of the iconic bear (and Mermaid), but <br />wanted to address that at a separate time. <br />Staff Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends the same as Planning Commission, but with allowing a 100 sq ft statue. <br />A Public Hearing was held on June 26, 2023. <br />Respectfully, <br />�eQx <br />Jon Sevald, AICP <br />Community Development Director <br />ATTACHED <br />Ordinance 999 <br />The Mounds View Vision <br />A Thriving Desirable Community <br />
