First Reading and Introduction of Ordinance 864, an Ordinance Revising <br /> Chapter 1008 of the Mounds View City Code relating to Dynamic Display <br /> Signs. <br /> City Administrator Ericson stated this item was being brought before the Council for First <br /> Reading and Introduction of Ordinance 864 which revised Mounds View City Code relating <br /> Dynamic Display Signs. The hold time was causing public safety concerns and was addressed in <br /> the Ordinance, reducing the hold time for off-premises signs from 15 seconds to eight seconds. <br /> For on-premise signs, the hold time was being reduced from 10 seconds to three seconds. <br /> Additional revisions were reviewed in detail with the Council. <br /> City Administrator Ericson reviewed a change to Subdivision 9 and discussed the preferred • <br /> language. In addition, Staff reviewed the sign face conversion requirements and recommended <br /> the Council limit dynamic display signs to the 35W corridor. He explained the City Attorney <br /> had reviewed the Ordinance and Staff recommended the Council approve the first reading of <br /> Ordinance 864. <br /> Council Member Mueller questioned Staff regarding the two faced sign that fronts 35W near <br /> Program Avenue. She expressed concern that the north facing size would interfere with the <br /> adjacent neighborhood if it became a dynamic sign. City Administrator Ericson stated a <br /> minimum requirement could be added to the Ordinance to ensure there was a minimum <br /> separation from the adjacent neighborhood. <br /> Brian Amundsen, 3048 Wooddale Drive, suggested the dynamic signs not be allowed to carry <br /> messages through on separate panels. This could be a public safety issue. <br /> Tom McCarver, Clear Channel Outdoor, stated signs along 35W could have sequential <br /> messaging and this language could be forwarded to City staff to be added to, the Ordie.eoce. He <br /> added that he would be more than happy to measure the distance of the north facing billboard <br /> close to the manufactured home park. <br /> MVMO ION/SI COND: Mueller/bull. To Approve the First Reading and c i Ordinance 864, an <br /> Ordinance Revising Chapter 1008 of the Mounds View City Code relating to Dynamic Display <br /> Signs. • <br />
