Mounds View City Council May 8, 2006 <br />Regular Meeting Page 6 <br /> <br />Mr. Thomas Stampfle, 2832 Woodale Drive, stated he was ready to begin the garage project 1 <br />when he lost his job. He explained he obtained a new job but did not have the vacation time to 2 <br />complete the garage project. He noted he has now been working full-time for three years and is 3 <br />ready to do the project. 4 <br /> 5 <br />Mayor Marty noted the square footage has increased in the City Code since that time, and that 6 <br />there were no problems found with the original conditional use permit. He stated that as a family 7 <br />grows and things change, more room may be needed for storage. He indicated the garage cannot 8 <br />be used to run a business or used for living quarters, and the decision seems to be straight 9 <br />forward. 10 <br /> 11 <br />MOTION/SECOND: GUNN/THOMAS. To waive the reading and approve Resolution 6803, 12 <br />Re-Approval of an Expired Conditional Use Permit for an Oversize Garage at 2832 Woodale 13 <br />Drive. 14 <br /> 15 <br /> Ayes – 5 Nays – 0 Motion carried. 16 <br /> 17 <br />B. Adoption of Ordinance 769, an Ordinance Amending Chapter 1008 of the 18 <br />Mounds View Municipal Code Relating to Signs and Billboards. 19 <br /> 20 <br />Director Ericson explained that this item has been discussed extensively at previous meetings. 21 <br />He noted that changes are needed to the ordinance to provide for additional locations to allow 22 <br />billboards in the community. He stated the locations that are presently allowed are Interstate 23 <br />35W, Highway 10, and Old Highway 8. He explained the other changes would be relating to 24 <br />billboard height and spacing, as well as providing for free speech and consistency with First 25 <br />Amendment rights. He explained that language was added to the proposed ordinance for design 26 <br />guidelines that would provide the Council with some flexibility on permit approvals. He noted 27 <br />separate authorization would be needed for the actual design of the billboard. 28 <br /> 29 <br />Director Ericson offered to answer questions, and commented that a representative from Clear 30 <br />Channel was also present for questions. 31 <br /> 32 <br />Mayor Marty commented that four billboards need to be relocated, and there has been a site 33 <br />already chosen for one of the billboards, so three remaining sites are needed. 34 <br /> 35 <br />Director Ericson stated that no permit applications have been received from Clear Channel, but a 36 <br />lease has been authorized with Clear Channel for the Sysco outlot to put a billboard on that site, 37 <br />and Clear Channel supports that location. He confirmed there are three additional signs that need 38 <br />to be relocated for the rest of the community. 39 <br /> 40 <br />Mr. Glidden asked what the status is of billboards allowed on County Road 10. Councilmember 41 <br />Stigney stated that County Road 10 is not presently an allowed location. 42 <br /> 43 <br />Mayor Marty added that the locations will be decided at this meeting. 44 <br /> 45
