Mounds View City Council July 10, 2006 <br />Regular Meeting Page 6 <br />C7 <br />• <br />Acting Mayor Stigney stated he agreed with the Planning Commission's decision that the <br />billboard would affect the adjoining property in a detrimental way. He stated the property owner <br />is creating the hardship by not relocating the billboard. <br />Councilmember Gunn stated that, looking at the rendering of the billboard, it looks to her like at <br />either height, and the billboard would not obstruct the adjoining building. She stated she does <br />not see the total obstruction or depreciation that would take place. <br />Councilmember Gunn stated she agrees with Councilmember Thomas that the issue is that the <br />billboards have to be moved somewhere and the spot in question is one that the Council <br />determined was acceptable.

She stated she does not <br />see any way the IUP violates code. <br />MOTION/SECOND: STIGNEY/MARTY.
