Mounds View City Council Apri124, 2000 <br />Regular Meeting Page 17 <br />Jim McGreedy, Lark & Hoffman Law Firm, representative of DeLite Outdoor Advertising <br />stated he was aware that the City desires to have the Sysco billboards be similar as the design <br />style of the billboards on the Bridges Golf Course. He indicated they propose several designs at <br />are very similar to the monument style billboards at the Bridges Golf Course and they feel that <br />the design proposals are very reasonable. He indicated the City's Zoning Ordinance does not <br />specify any particular design criteria, and their proposed designs are very compatible with the <br />design styles at the golf course. <br />Mr. McGreedy stated that forcing them to utilize the monument style at the Sysco property would <br />add substantial cost to the two Sysco billboards, which they would prefer to avoid. He indicated <br />they still maintain that there would be some difficulty in terms of traffic flow or parking at the <br />Sysco site, which makes that billboard style less desirable. He stated he was aware that City staff <br />disagrees with them on some of these points, and that there would be further discussion in this <br />regard. He expressed his appreciation to staff and the City Council for their work and <br />accommodation to them during this process, adding that they looked forward to working together <br />in the future. <br />Paul Radamacher, representative of DeLite Outdoor Advertising stated their proposed designs <br />are all derivative of the golf course model that was provided to them by staff. He explained that <br />they are all basically the same design, with the exception of the number of pillars. He indicated <br />that if the City decides to proceed with the monument style design with the double arch, they <br />would prefer not to have the "garage door" between the arches, as they feel this is somewhat <br />excessive. He stated that based upon the meeting that date, there is sufficient room on the site to <br />utilize any of the options presented to the Council, and they would be happy to proceed with <br />whichever of these the Council selects. <br />Mayor Coughlin closed the Public Hearing at 8:21 p.m. <br />Council Member Stigney stated he would move to approve the resolution, stipulating that Option <br />1 be utilized as the closest reasonable facsimile of that being used at the golf course as the design <br />criteria. <br />MOTION/SECOND: Stigney/Coughlin. To Approve Resolution 5417, a Resolution Approving <br />an Interim Use Permit for Two Billboards Located at Sysco Minnesota Property, 2400 County <br />Road J, as Amended to Add Language in Item 2 to indicate "The design of the proposed <br />billboards shall not include a monopole design, and shall include the same decorative monument <br />style stone or brick face design appearance as the billboards approved for the Bridges Golf <br />Course in a from substantially similar to that attached as Exhibit B," and to Include Exhibit B, <br />with the Stipulation that Option Number 1 be Utilized as the Design Criteria. <br />Mayor Coughlin stated Council Member Marty was unable to attend the meeting, however, had <br />requested that on his behalf, he state publicly for the record that it continues to be his desire to <br />attempt to maintain similar aesthetics to all of the billboards along Highway 10, in order to <br />reduce the amount of negative sentiment on the part of the public. He explained that Council <br />Member Marty indicated he desired a monument style billboard base, very similar if not to the <br />exact standard as those at the Bridges Golf Course, to provide uniformity to the entire area.
