MOUNDS VIEW PLANNING COMMISSION
RESOLUTION NO. 613-00
CITY OF MOUNDS VIEW
COUNTY OF RAMSEY
STATE OF MINNESOTA
RESOLUTION APPROVING A VARIANCE FROM SECTION 1008.08, SUBD. 10C,
OF THE MOUNDS VIEW MUNICIPAL CODE REGARDING A REDUCED MINIMUM
SPACING REQUIREMENT BETWEEN A PROPOSED BILLBOARD ON SYSCO
PROPERTY AND A BILLBOARD APPROVED ON THE ADJACENT BRIDGES GOLF
COURSE PROPERTY; MOUNDS VIEW PLANNING CASE VROO-003.
WHEREAS, The applicant, DeLite Outdoor Advertising Company, representing the
property owner, Sysco Minnesota, has applied for a variance to allow for the siting of a billboard
less than 1,000 feet from the nearest approved billboard located on the adjacent Bridges Golf
Course property; and,
WHEREAS, Sysco Minnesota is located at 2400 County Road J, property which is zoned
PUD, Planned Unit Development, and is legally-described as follows:
Lot 1. Block 1, SYSCO and Lot 1, Block 2, SYSCO
Ramsey County, Minnesota
WHEREAS, the Mounds View Planning Commission has reviewed the following
documents regarding this proposal:
1. Planning Application
2. Zoning Map
3. Location Map
4. Site Plan
5. Staff Report
WHEREAS, the purpose of the variance provision in the Zoning Code is to give relief to
property owners when the strict enforcement of the zoning code requirements imposes a hardship
thereby restricting the improvement of property due to practical difficulties brought about by
unique or extraordinary features of the physical property that are beyond the property owner's
control; and,

Resolution 613-00
Sysco Variance
April 19, 2000
Page 2
WHEREAS, a public hearing was held Wednesday, April 19, 2000, with regard to this
variance request; and,
WHEREAS, according to Section 1125.02, Subdivision 2 of the Mounds View
Municipal Code, the Planning Commission is to review a standard set of criteria, of which all
must be satisfied, in order to grant a variance to the Zoning Code.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, the Mounds View Planning Commission
has reviewed the criteria identified in Section 1125.02, Subdivision 2 of the Mounds View
Municipal Code and makes the following findings of fact:
I. Exceptional or extraordinary circumstances apply to 2400 County Road J in that the
existing parking lot and truck circulatory system effectively prohibits the siting of a
billboard in a location consistent with the requirements of the Code.
2. A deprivation to the property owner exists in that the literal interpretation of the Code
would prohibit the siting of two billboards which would otherwise meet the Code
requirements were it not for the location and configuration of the parking lot.
3. The applicant was not involved in the drafting of the ordinance which conditionally allows
the installation of billboards on properties north of State Highway 10. Its business and the
associated site development and improvements had occurred long before the contemplation
of such an ordinance. Had the ordinance been in effect prior to the Sysco development, the
site plan could have been configured in such as way to allow for the location of two
billboards in compliance with the provisions of Section 1008.08.
4. The only other property owner in the corridor where billboards have been allowed is the
Bridges Golf Course, which has already received approval for six billboards on golf
course property. Installation of billboards is not allowed on any other properties in the
City.
S. The variance requested is the minimum necessary to allow for the second billboard while
still maintaining a separation allowable by Minnesota Department of Transportation
permitting standards, which allows for a minimum spacing of 500 feet.
6. Granting a variance for a reduced minimum spacing between two billboards would not be
materially detrimental to the purpose of this Title or to other property in the same zone.
7. The proposed reduced spacing between the two billboards would not impair a supply of
light or increase congestion, nor would it increase the danger of fire or endanger the public
safety or diminish property values.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, the Mounds View Planning
Commission finds there to be sufficient hardship with regard to the request made by DeLite
Outdoor Advertising Company and does hereby approve a variance for a reduced minimum
spacing requirement between a billboard proposed on Sysco property and a billboard approved
on Bridges Golf Course property as indicated on Exhibit A attached to this resolution, contingent
upon the following:

approval and provide proof of such recordation to the City within 60 days of the date of
approval.
2. This variance shall be considered null and void without an approved interim use permit.
Adopted this 19th day of April, 2000.
