5.
Planning Case No. 466-96
7532 and 7540 Silver Lake Road
Applicant: Larry Beach, on behalf of Richard Edin and William Culbert
Request for a minor subdivision to move 12.5 feet from 7532 Silver Lake Road to 7540
Silver Lake Road.
The applicant, Larry Beach, was not present.
Planning Associate Ericson explained that the applicant is requesting a minor
subdivision to move 12.5 feet from 7532 Silver Lake Road to 7540 Silver Lake
Road to satisfy a previous arrangement made between the property owners.
Commissioner Miller had a concern with Item b of Resolution No. 488-96 which
stated that if both dwelling units are burned or destroyed, minimum lot widths shall
prevail as for single family homes. Director Sheldon and the Planning Commission
clarified that if, in the future, the dwelling is destroyed, in order to build single family
• homes, the lots would need to meet minimum lot width requirements for single
family homes.
Motion/Second: Brooks/Brasaemle to approve Resolution No. 488-96 as amended
recommending approval of a minor subdivision for Larry Beach, representing the property
owners of 7532 and 7540 Silver Lake Road, Planning Case No. 466-96.
Motion Carried: 6 ayes, 0 nays
6.
Planning Case No. 468-96
2375 and 2395 Highway 10
Applicant: Saturn Development
Request for approval of a variance to allow directional signs at driveway entrances (one
on Highway 10 and one on County Road H2)
The applicant, Saturn Development, was not present.
Community Development Director Sheldon explained the request from Saturn
• Development for a sign variance that would allow them to install two additional
monument signs, one on Highway 10 and one on County Road H2. She explained
• Mounds View Planning Commission December 4, 1996
Regular Meeting Page 3
if the sign area allowed by Code is added together, Saturn's existing signage is
below that requirement and that by adding the two proposed monument signs, it
would still be below the overall area allowed. She noted that the Planning
Commission, at their last meeting, expressed that they felt this was appropriate
because it was a reallocation of signage that would be more useful in directing
traffic. She added that Resolution No. 489-96 approves this variance request and
she noted the five conditions contained in the resolution.
Commissioner Brasaemle inquired about whether or not internal lighting was
discussed. Director Sheldon indicated that she was unsure if it is Saturn's intent to
light the signs, but she wanted to make sure that if the signs are illuminated, it was
done as specified in the Resolution No. 489-96. The Planning Commission briefly
discussed the conditions contained in the resolution.
Motion/Second: Brasaemle/Miller to adopt Resolution No. 489-96 as amended approving
a variance in the Mounds View Sign Code to allow two monument signs as directional
signs for the Saturn Dealership, 2375 Highway 10, Planning Case No. 468-96.
• Motion carried: 6 ayes, 0 nays
7. 1997 Planning Commission Meeting Schedule
Director Sheldon explained that Resolution No. 490-96 sets a meeting schedule for
1997 and includes a calendar that shows both the agenda and regular meetings as
well as the deadline for submittal of planning applications for the agenda meetings
and that the resolution indicates that this schedule will be followed unless a special
meeting is called or if a meeting is canceled due to lack of business. She added
that Staff recommended approval of the resolution.
Motion/Second: Obert/Brooks to approve Resolution No. 490-96 establishing meeting
dates and submission deadlines for 1997.
Motion Carried: 6 ayes, 0 nays
8. Staff Report

Regular Meeting Page 4
b. Format for Planning Commission Minutes: It was the consensus of the
Planning Commission that they are in favor of the new format for the
Planning Commission minutes.
Director Sheldon asked the Planning Commission if they would like to see the
public notified for public hearing items before the actual hearing at the agenda
meeting level so that they can have input at the beginning stages of the process.
The Planning Commission was in favor of the earlier mailing.
Commissioner Obert suggested that these items also be placed on the City of
Mounds View Cable TV access channel.
c. Carpooling to Forum on First Ring: This item will be discussed at the
agenda meeting following this meeting.

RESOLUTION NO. 489-96
CITY OF MOUNDS VIEW
COUNTY OF RAMSEY
STATE OF MINNESOTA
RESOLUTION APPROVING A VARIANCE IN THE MOUNDS VIEW SIGN CODE TO
ALLOW TWO MONUMENT SIGNS AS DIRECTIONAL SIGNS FOR THE SATURN
DEALERSHIP, 2375-2395 HIGHWAY 10; PLANNING CASE No. 468-96.
WHEREAS, the Mounds View Planning Commission has reviewed the request from
Saturn Development for the construction of two monument signs at the Saturn Dealership, which
is proposed to expand to include their existing site and the Citgo gasoline station; and,
WHEREAS, the applicant has proposed two monument signs which would be 5 feet high
and 8 feet 6.5 inches wide, or 42.7 sq.ft. and which would be located at the westernmost driveway
on Highway 10 and the easternmost driveway on County Road H2; and,
WHEREAS, the sign on Highway 10 would be at the westernmost driveway shown on the
site plan, and the sign on County Road H2 would at the easternmost driveway shown on the site
plan; and,
WHEREAS, this roe is in the B-3 Hi wa Business District, which 100
property rtY gh Yallows
square feet of signage for each business occupant, and a 340 square foot pylon sign; and,
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has reviewed the criteria used to evaluate variances
from the Sign Code as stated in Section 1008.11 and does hereby make the following findings:
a. Exceptional or extraordinary circumstances apply to the property which do not apply
generally to other properties in the same zone or vicinity and result from lot size or shape,
topography or other circumstances over which the owners of the property since the effective
date hereof had no control.
• c. That the special conditions or circumstances do not result from the actions of the applicant.
The Saturn dealership has 764 feet of frontage along Highway 10 and 580 feet of frontage
along County Road H2, and two driveways on each frontage. This amount of frontage is
longer than most properties along the commercial corridor on Highway 10. The City's
Sign Code limits properties in the B-3 district to two types of signage: one 340 square
foot pylon sign and business occupant signage not to exceed 100 square feet. The Sign
Code does not anticipate the provision of directional signage on properties in the B-3
district. Due to the long frontages and the types of activities on this site, directional
• signage is needed to insure customer safety and smooth traffic flow. The applicant's
proposal does not increase the total square footage of signage above the amount allowed
by the Sign Code, but redistributes sign area from what would have been displayed on the
Planning Commission Resolution No. 489-96
• , December 4, 1996
Page 3
2. Prior to installation of either sign, the applicant shall obtain a building permit from the
Community Development Department and shall pay the appropriate fees, as required by
City regulations.
4.
3. Installation of the sign on property at 2395 Highway 10 shall not occur until the Saturn
dealership obtains ownership of the property. If ownership is not obtained, the allowance
for the monument sign on Highway 10 shall be null and void.
4. The style of the monument signs shall be similar to the"Used Car Sales" sign which is
located at the eastern end of the property.
5. Any illumination of the signs shall be either internal or external, ground-mounted light
fixtures. Any external light fixtures shall be shielded so the light source is not visible from
the abutting streets or any residential properties in the vicinity.
Adopted this 4th day of December, 1996.
