TO: PLANNING COMMISSION
FROM: JOYCE PRUITT,PLANNING ASSOCIATE
DATE: February 29, 1996
SUBJECT: CHURCH UPON THE ROCK,7901 RED OAK DRIVE,EXTENSION OF
A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO ALLOW FOR THE CONTINUED
USE OF A TEMPORARY STRUCTURE ON RESIDENTIALLY ZONED
PROPERTY,PLANNING CASE NO. 436-95
As directed by the Planning Commission, staff contacted the State regarding the anticipated longevity of the
prefabricated structures at 7901 Red Oak Drive. Ray Karnuth, a State Building Code Representative, was
unable to provide a time frame the structures are durable. Mounds View Building Inspector, Rick Jarson,
felt that the structures were maintained in a good state of condition during the January 8, 1996 inspection.
Staff spoke with the City Attorney and drafted resolutions for approval and denial for the March 6, 1996,
Regular Planning Commission Meeting. Resolution No. 441-96 for approval/denial has been prepared for
your review and consideration. As you may note,the resolutions have items in bold which may be changed
41) at the March 06, 1996 meeting, following discussions of space utilization of the principle building on the
property.
As you may recall,the Planning Commission requested the applicant contact the Fire Marshall and plan for
the case scenarios of moving all classrooms inside the main structure and the construction of an exterior
storage building. As soon as I receive these plans from the applicant, I will provide you with the copies.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at 784-3055.

On October 06, 1995, the City of Mounds View invited community businesses to
attend a luncheon meeting in order to provide direction for future sign code revisions.
Revising the sign ordinance is an attempt to reevaluate regulations in an effort to
assist the business community, as well as maintain community aesthetics. The City
of Mounds View would like to thank each of you who were able to attend the
October 6, 1995 meeting. In addition, the suggested desired changes for future sign
code revision provides the City with the issues facing the business community.
From the meeting, areas discussed included the following:
• Outline the overall reasons for a sign ordinance. Create consistency within the
ordinance.
• Allow for a different set of standards/restrictions for stand alone business verses
the strip centers.
1
• Exempt employment signs for businesses from temporary sign permit
requirements. Size limitations could apply.
• Consider exceptions for Highway 10 businesses.
. • Review the requirements for the use of flags.
• Consider whether window painting advertisements should be regulated through
the sign code.
SIGNAGE MEETING NOTES •
PAGE TWO OF TWO
• Consider dropping the number of temporary sign permits. Instead, regulate
duration and standard of signs in place.
• Control maintenance standards for temporary sign permits with language such
as no rips, tears, bleached out signs, holes, etc. for any temporary or permanent
signs.
• Regulate quality and maintenance of real estate and billboard signs.
• With new standards and revised ordinance in place, only allow two days for
compliance, then issue tickets to offenders.
• Open up signage for residentially-based businesses.
• Encourage creativity and quality in temporary signs.
• Define portable signage verses temporary signage.
• Allow towable signs with flashing arrow signs, as long as arrows would not be
illuminated.
The Planning Commission will be taking into consideration your comments during
the November 15, 1995 Agenda meeting. Again, thank you for your attendance and
•
your suggestions. If you have further concerns or suggestions, please do not hesitate
to contact the City of Mounds View at 784-3055.

Amu!Wood.G:1
1944 Merton: As per our re:crlt conversaiionregarding proposed changes to the Mounds View sift
.r.iartiric Boyd,Cat,CRS ordinance, I am wririn to share with you language other munidpalities have
huyi Cavett.Gal ggra
xathi.en Diffley.Gat incorporated into their ordinances. To date we have worked with the cities of
Daniel�Frid.Cr1arris, 3 Cottage Grove, Mahtomedi, Roseville, and Shoreview ono guidelines that provide
�arbara;ardr;c.::{s consistency,convenience,and public safety conSideradons to communities. Our
Kate McGuire Ianguage is specific to placement of residential For Sale and Open House signs.
err'Ne:son.Gal
°,n kapiteal
filac.ne Ronde.CRI Our recomendattonS for consideration are:
.,I,how.id r o� m(1) On-Site Rerideriti i For Sale signs should have a setback of 6 feet from the
Siepilm Townley,ca: edge of any roadway, and at least two feet from the edge of a sidewalk or trail_
Sher,r.p tyke,GRI
Ncticrci Cirector (2)Off-site Open House sips could be displayed from.7:00 a1-n.-8:0Q p.m.on a
Beverly Scnow,4..: weekday and from Saturday 6:00 a.m. to 8.'00 p.m.on the last day of the weekend.
Stcr9 Diracrors •
Sheryl C.-asen.G:1 The ability to place a sign based on a readily visible standard such as the edge of a
t.::ny Mac:.e,'..I'.co roadway is citicaily irnporiant to us. Set-back based on a public r.'g irof-way:.ice
MissyStacin T::er_.paon little practical meaning to homeowners or to sign post companies because these
Tate Re.^,icrci standards vary within a city and they vary greatly from city-to-city. Therefore,
Vice?resicsrr an easily verifiable standard such as a road or sidewalk will provide the most
?: arnds.C31 consistency for sign placement.
Es Drive e car..t
Keith o.::oizs We ask that the Mounds View planning commission and city council include the St
Paul Area Association of Realtors®in their discussion as they consider sin
ordinance amendments related to the real estate industry.
Thank you for your:ding ass to hear our concerns.
Sincerely
