WHEREAS, the proposed development satisfies the requirements of the Zoning
Code and building code; and,
WHEREAS, the Mounds View Planning Commission believes that the expanded

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Mounds View Planning
Commission, finding that all of the zoning and building code requirements have been
satisfied, does hereby recommend approval of the development review request for a
672-square foot (14' by 48') expanded billboard located at 2373 County, subject to the
following stipulations:
1. All utilities to the billboard shall be reinstalled underground

planting and the type and mixture of wildflower and/or wetland seed to be used
and said plan shall be reviewed and approved by the City Forester.
3. The applicant shall apply for and obtain approval of a City Wetland Alteration
Permit and RCWD watershed permit if one is required.
4. An easement or lease agreement shall be approved for the expanded billboard,
to be negotiated in the best interest of the City.
5. The billboard's tan accent brick base and cap shall be of a rock-face or rough-
cut masonry material rather than a simple brick, and, wall of the base shall be of
a darker earth-tone rather than a red brick hue.

directs Staff to forward this Resolution to the City Council prior to approval of the
minutes.
