OUTLOT A, SYSCO SECOND ADDITION
RAMSEY COUNTY, MINNESOTA
WHEREAS, The City of Mounds View has adopted Ordinance 769 which amended the
City Code to permit billboards as an interim use on properties adjacent to and visible from US
Highway 10; and,
WHEREAS, Clear Channel Outdoor has executed a lease agreement with the City of
Mounds View to erect and maintain a billboard on the above-described property for a period of
not more than 30 years; and,

(IUP) application be reviewed and considered in accordance with Section 1125.01, Subdivision
3; and,
WHEREAS, a duly noticed public hearing regarding this request was held on Monday
April 23, 2007.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Mounds View City Council makes the
following findings of fact relating to the Clear Channel Outdoor application for an Interim Use
Permit for a billboard on Outlot A, Sysco Second Addition:
1. The Installation of a billboard on Outlot A would not create an excessive burden on
existing parks, schools, streets and other public facilities and utilities that serve or are
proposed to serve the area.
2. The billboard at the proposed location would not be readily visible from nearby
residentially zoned properties and would not have a detrimental effect on the
development of vacant land in the area.
3. The structure and site will not have an appearance that would adversely effect
adjacent residential properties in that there are no residential properties adjacent to
Outlot A.
4. The requested IUP is reasonably related to the requirement placed upon the
Applicant to relocate four of six billboards from the former golf course property.
5. The use is consistent with the recently adopted amendments to the Sign Code Chapter
1008 as effectuated by Ordinance 769.
