A 41-foot tall vertically -aligned billboard is proposed for the northwest corner of Riverdale Drive and Traprock <br />Street. The site is located along the south side of Highway 10. The structure for the former Wyatt Earp's Saloon is <br />in the approximate location. <br />The billboard is proposed to have an "architecturally enhanced base" as required by Code in the way of a stacked <br />stone finish. Instead of the grays and blues that are shown on the rendering, it is recommended that the colors of the <br />stone are tans and reds in order to complement the City's 30.5-foot tall message sign on the other side of Highway <br />10. <br />The proposed 434-square foot sign meets all of the other site requirements in City Code, except for that it is placed <br />within a platted drainage and utility easement. It is not recommended to vacate the easement as it could be needed <br />for utilities associated with the final phase of the Highway 10 Ramsey Gateway reconstruction project. Instead, an <br />encroachment agreement will need to be approved by the Council. This type of agreement allows for construction <br />of specified structures with the caveat that it could need to be removed if the easement is needed for its intended <br />purpose. <br />Messages must stay for at least 7 seconds with an instantaneous change to another message. Animation is not <br />permitted. The maximum height allowed is 50 feet with a maximum area of 700 square feet. <br />Alternatives <br />1. Approve the CUP as recommended by staff with the conditions listed in the attached resolution, noting the east or <br />west location. <br />2. Modify the CUP with conditions as deemed reasonable by the Planning Commission. <br />3. Deny the CUP based on certain findings <br />Funding Source: <br />All costs associated with this request are the responsibility of the applicant. If approved, the City will take in lease <br />revenue as the City is the land owner. <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends approval of the CUP for the billboard. <br />Action: <br />Motion to recommend approval of Resolution #22-193 approving a Conditional Use Permit for a digital billboard at <br />7559 Riverdale Drive NW (state east or west location for clarity). <br />Site Location Map <br />Proposed Site Plan <br />Front Elevation <br />Draft Resolution #22-193 <br />Photos <br />Alternative West Location <br />Attachments <br />Form Review <br />Inbox Reviewed By Date <br />Brian Hagen Brian Hagen 09/01/2022 03:18 PM <br />
