Mounds View City Council May 29, 2001 Regular Meeting Page 12 • Community Development Director Ericson noted this was the second reading and adoption of Ordinance 679 and noted the Planning Commission had spent a lot of time reviewing the proposed changes. He also noted that there was one change made on Page 25 to allow Staff to issue a permit for more than one grand opening type event per year rather than requiring Council approval. Council Member Marty asked whether adrop-dead date that all billboards in the City would come down should be inserted into the Code or if the only billboard issue is the one previously discussed by Council. Director Ericson indicated that there was another billboard located by the Mounds View Mobile Home Park and noted that the City could not put a sunset clause on a legal non-conforming use. He then noted that the interim use clause in the Code would cover any new billboards. City Attorney Riggs noted that the legislature had done away with the sunset clause provision and noted that the only way to get rid of them is to renegotiate. He then noted that this would apply to the billboards on County Highway 10. Council Member Marty asked if the City had any control over the billboards. City Attorney Riggs indicated that the City does not have any control over the billboards unless • they are renegotiated. Council Member Stigney asked if the Midland Videen billboard would be a new or existing billboard under City Code. City Attorney Riggs indicated that the billboard is not covered under City Code at all. MOTIONISECOND: Marty/Thomas.
