ELLEN LAV I N , �4AYOR � � September 11, 1985 Case No: 85-48 Applicant: Naegele Outdoor Advertising Location: South of Excelsior Boulevard & East of County Road 18 on Railroad right-of-way Request: Variance to erect Billboard STAFF FINDINGS & COMMENTS: Anderson 1. The subject sign is to be located 15 feet north of track farthest to north, 20 feet from County Road 18 overpass, south of Excelsior Boulevard, south of Hopkins depot. The sign will face north and south and will be located on the railroad right-of-way. 2. The sign as proposed would be a two faced advertising sign 10'x25' . The advertising space would be changeable. 3. 427.42( 14) limits the height of a sign to 35 feet. The applicant is request- ing a height variance of 15 feet. The reason for this request is that Highway 18 is elevated in this area and the additional height is required in order to �-- provide adequate visibility of the sign from 18. 4. The proposed sign meets the distance requirements for billbaords as detailed in 427.42(21) . 5. 427.42(18) (6) allows 4 square feet per front foot of lot plus one square foot of side yard abutting a public right-of-way of 50 feet or more. Least width of frontage shall be considered front yard. Since the sign is not located on a lot it is impossible to determine how much square footage is allowed. The Ordinance does not take into consideration signs that are located on a rail - road right-of-way. The Commission may want to refer this item to the City Attorney to determine if a billboard may be allowed on a railroad right-of-way. � ( � � , � � �� , , , ,, , . , , . , . `, , � '. � , S�oG �� � i � � , i � ` � � � � �� \� / , n� 9� � �� � �JZ 'f, ' m n ; � Ar ;� � < o , , �, , ' � v ' � G � ' � � ` c� ` , � � � � � �� \ � � � , ,\ � .
