Mounds View Planning Commission November 6, 2024 Regular Meeting Page 3 ________________________________________________________________________ street view photos on the next page. The sign will be close to the existing brick monument sign there. The standards for dynamic display signs are in Section 161.038(H) of the Zoning Code, excerpted at the end of this report. There are strict standards for the display itself, the brightness, and ability to control and turn off the sign, among other things. Such signs can be unsightly if not carefully controlled and the City’s standards are designed to keep such signs more tasteful and unobtrusive. Those standards would apply to this sign. The required front setback for a sign is 15 feet from the right-of-way. The proposed sign is 25 ft from the County Road I ROW and 45 Feet from the Long Lake Road ROW. Staff commented on the request in further detail and recommended the Planning Commission approve the Conditional Use Permit as requested. George Gibson, Pastor at Free Life Family Worship Center, thanked the Commission for considering his conditional use permit. He explained his congregation wanted to have a nice sign, while complying with the City’s requirements. Commissioner Stevenson asked how this sign compared to the dynamic display sign on Red Oak Drive for Abiding Savior Church. Commissioner Nelson reported the Abiding Savior Church had a larger sign that required a variance. He commented on how there were concerns from a neighbor about how the dynamic display sign for Abiding Savior would impact his property. Pastor Gibson explained there were commercial properties adjacent to his church property which meant there were no concerns from the neighbors regarding the requested dynamic display sign. MOTION/SECOND: Commissioner Nelson/Commissioner Stevenson. To approve Resolution 1173-24, recommending approval of a Conditional Use Permit for a dynamic display sign at 7687 Long Lake Road. Ayes – 5 Nays – 0 Motion carried. C. Resolution 1174-24, Recommending Approval of a Preliminary & Final Plat for 7149 Pleasant View Drive Phil Carlson, Stantec, stated Nathan Dornquast owns the single family property at 7149 Pleasant View Drive. His rear yard backs up to the long rear yard of the lot at 3033 Woodale Drive. He and his neighbor Jason Stockwell (sole owner of RFC Fields LLC) have agreed that Nathan would buy a portion of the rear yard of 3033, enlarging the 7149 lot. No new lots are created – the request is simply adjusting the lot line between these two lots with a new plat to be called Hidden Hollow Nook. Staff commented further on the request and recommended the Planning Commission approve the Preliminary and Final Plat as requested. Chair Farmer asked if the highway and utility easement was the only remaining portion of the easement. Mr. Carlson stated this was his understanding.
