Pursuant to Hubbard Broadcastl.ngs effort to obtain a variance on the
hel.ght limitation for its proposed advertising sign on the MI.ll \'brk
Property, 140 Washington Avenue South, in the Cl.ty of Hopkins, and
in an effort to dispel SOIre of the concerns expressed by the Councll
Members, KSTP is prePared to offer the following:
Item 1: That the proposed advertising sign wl.ll be a Backlighted
sign, and will be limited to copy proIIDting the Hubbard
Broadcasting Companles, ie: KSTP Channel 5, KS95-FM, KSTP-AM
radio stations and its programing.
Item 2: That the varl.ance and pemt granted can be tl.ed to the
length of the contract/lease executed between Hubbard Broad-
castmg and Mr. Wl.lliam Ryerse, of MI.ll Vbrk, Inc. The
consequences of Iteill 2 would be to linut the grantmg of
the helght variance to Hubbard Broadcastmg only, thus
prohibiting the sale of the sign to another Sl.gn or adver-
tislng company.
Item 3: That Hubbard Broadcasting will provide a directional arrow
and the City name (Hopkins) attached, in an aesthetlcally
pleasing manner, to its sign structure at the proposed site.
It lS the mpe of Hubbard Broadcastmg that the above items will al-

\^.ork toward a mutually beneficl.a1 compromise.
