SURIIMARY OF ANALYSIS City Staff recommends approva/ of this special use permit, with stipulations. Electronic changeable signs are an approved special use in the commercial zoning district, provided the sign complies with Code requirements. Special Use Permit #06-10 wil! be repea/ed and replaced with Special Use Permii #08-04 if this Existing Sign CITY COUNCIL ACTION/60 DAY SCHEDULE City Council — March 24, 2008 60 Day Date — March 17, 2008 Staff Report Prepared by: Stacy Stromberg SP #08-04 REQUEST The petitioner, Amtech Lighting, who is representing Holiday Companies, is requesting a special use permit to allow an electronic reader board to replace the existing manual reader board on the existing pylon sign at the Holiday Gas Station which is located at 5695 Hackmann Avenue. A free-standing sign already exists on the subject property, which is located on the west side of the property along the Service Drive. In 2006, the property received Special Use Permit approval to allow an LED gas pricing sign. At this time, the petitioner is seeking to change out the existing 21.5 square foot manual reader board sign with a 21.5 square foot electronic reader board sign. The total square footage of the pylon sign is 78 square feet. HISTORY AND ANALYSIS The subject property is located on Hackmann Avenue, just east of Hwy 65. The property is zoned C-2, General Business. This property has been used as a service station since the 1950's. In 1975, the property was rezoned from C-1, Local Business to C-2, General Business. In 1999, a special use permit was issued to allow a motor vehicle fuel station store and as a result the existing Holiday Station Store wras constructed. Four fueling stations covered by a canopy were also constructed on the site. A sign permit for the existing pylon sign was also f -� �, ', ` .�=� .�^ �'. � �,. <.e �i;+ - `,;;o era� arr+. t— � ---� obtained in 1999. As stated above, in 2006, a special use permit wras granted to allow an electronic gas pricing sign, which exists on the sign today. —' �° °"B" CODE REQUIREMENTS � � �:. �� `�� Electronic changeable signs are an approved special • use in any zoning district, except residential, provided ,. ,�:-� �.,�� ` ` � the message doesn't change more often than once �:�� : �� ° `� W every 45 seconds. The sign also needs to be in ` �'� conformance writh the sign requirements for the zoning r �� w ��'} wo;�„,m,� '�� '�� : district, in which the property is located. The subject E : , property is zoned, G2 General Business, which � a� -`� "�� requires that free standing signage can not exceed 80 i �� ` �� x< �� ,� � ��,�� ti� square feet in size. The existing sign meets that size w._d�.� : �° ' requirement as will the re-face of the existing manual ��' r ��f4� '� 1� �.� reader board sign with an electronic reader board sign. _�-� k'�.0 The total sign area is approximately 78 square feet, with the new electronic portion being 21.5 square feet. The existing LED gas pricing sign is 22.5 square feet. After the replacement of the reader board sign, 44 square feet of electronic sign area will exist on the 78 square foot sign. After further review of the existing sign, it appears that it is deficient in meeting two code requirements related to free-standing signage on commercial properties. City code requires that all free-standing signs be 10 ft. from a property line or driveway. The existing sign is 10 ft: from the west property line; however it is approximately 2 ft. from the driveway into the lot. City code also requires a minimum height of 10 ft. from the bottom of the sign to the finished ground grade when the sign is within 25 ft. of a driveway or a comer vision safety zone. This sign is within 25 ft. of a driveway. As a result of the above findings, it will be necessary to stipulate that the sign is either moved to be 10 ft. from the driveway or a variance shall be sought. It will also be necessary to stipulate that either the height of the sign is increased or the size of the proposed electronic reader board sign shall be reduced, so the distance befinreen the ground and the bottom of the sign meets the code required 10 ft. In no case shall the sign exceed the maximum code required height of 25 feet. City staff hasn't heard from any neighboring property owners. STAFF RECOMMENDATION City Staff recommends approval of the special use permit as electronic changeable signs are an approved special use in the commercial zoning district, provided the sign complies with Code requirements, subject #o stipulations. Special Use Permit #06-10 will be repealed and replaced with Special Use Permit #08-04 if this Special Use Permit is approved. STIPULATIONS City Staff recommends that if the special use permit is granted, the following stipulations be attached. 1. The petitioner shall obtain sign permit and current sign erector license prior to installing any signage on site. 2. The petitioner shall submit plans to City staff showing how the 10 ft. requirement from the ground to the bottom of the sign is being met prior to issuance of a sign permit. 3. The petitioner shall move the existing free-sfanding sign to be 10 ft. from the property line and driveway or a variance shall be obtained to recognize the existing setback prior to installation of the proposed electronic sign. 4. Message on L.E.D. sign shal/ not change more often than authorized under Section 214.07 of the Fridley City Code. 5. Message on L. E. D. sign shall never flash or have motion that may distract vehicular traffic in the area.

CITY COUNCIL ACTION/ 60 DAY DATE City Council — March 24, 2008 Existing Building Staff Report Prepared by: Stacy Stromberg � � SP #08-05 REQUEST The petitioners, Michael and Patrick Lawrance of Signcrafter's, are seeking a special use permit to allow limited outdoor storage on the property that they own at 7775 Main Street. Three tenants occupy the building and will utilize the outdoor storage area. The petitioner's plan to use the outdoor storage area for the storage of motor vehicles and signs. The outdoor storage area is proposed to be 3,991 square feet and will be located on the north and east sides of the existing building. SITE DESCRIPTION AND HISTORY The subject property is zoned M-2, Heavy Industrial as are the properties to the north, east and south. The property located to the west is zoned S-3, Heavy Industrial Onaway Addition. It is located on Main Street, north of 77�' Avenue. The property was developed in 1976 with the construction of the existing 11,039 square foot building. In October 2005, staff notified the owners of Signcrafter's that the outside storage area at ` �� e� � their business at 7765-7775 Main Street "� � 3 required a special use permit. They had placed ��Y�� x�SM.R g .:t� �i a sign in the public right-of-way advertising the �= f: - availability of outside storage, which is what � �'� � � brought the situation to staff s attention. After ,¢� � repeated letters and telephone conversations, /,�.; ��»�.�5�.. � �r �.3. - the owners of Signcrafters were given a deadline of March 3, 2006 to submit an application for a special use permit for outside storage. On March 8, 2006, when no application had been received and negotiations had broken down, staff issued a citation to Patrick Lawrance, owner of the property, for having outside storage on an industrial property without a special use permit. In response to the criminal citation, the owr�ers of Signcrafte�'s filed a civil case against the City, arguing that they were allowed to have outside storage on the property because they had a legal nonconforming condition. The civil case needed to be resolved before the criminal case, because if they prevailed in their position of being legally non-conforming, no crime was committed by their having outdoor storage. Consequently, the City's criminal case was put on hold. The civil case was finally resolved (as was the criminal case) in a settlement agreement by the Fridley City Council on January 7, 2008. The se#tlement agreement required the owners of Signcrafte�'s to apply for a special use permit for outside storage by February 1, 2008, which they did and is the application reviewed in this report. CODE REQUIREMENTS City Code allo�nrs limited outdoor storage in the industrial districts that is up to 50% of the building footprint with a special use permit. The buildings square footage is 11,039 square feet, so City code would allow up to 5,519 sq. ft. of outdoor storage on this site. The petitioner is proposing to have an outdoor storage area of 3,991 sq. ft., which meets code requirements. It shall be noted that the settlement agreement between the City and the petitioner's states that the outdoor storage area will be 3,195 sq. ft. At the time of the settlement agreement, the petitioner's didn't have a to-scale survey of their property. As a result, the square footage amount in the settlement agreement differs from what�the petitioner's state in the letter they submitted with this special use permit request. Since the settlement agreement, a certificate of survey has been completed for the property showing a more accurate measurement of the outdoor storage area. Since, it is well within the allowable 5,519 square footage allotment for this property, staff is agreeable to allowing 3,991 sq. ft. outdoor storage. Before the special use permit can be issued, additional requirements need to be met. Those specific requirements relate to height, screening, parking, and the types of materials allowed to be stored outside. City code requires that the existing business have 25 parking stalls based on the breakdown of uses within the building. The petitioner has submitted a site plan that shows 16 parking stalls, which is 9 stalls short of ineeting code requirements. If the petitioner can prove that there is room for additional parking stalls along the west side of the property, staff will allow the petitioner to proof the remaining required parking stalls so long as parking doesn't become a problem for this property. City code requires that each property shall provide enough off-street parking, so as stated above, if parking becomes an issue for this property; the petitioner will be required to install, stripe and maintain the additional stalls in order to become code compliant. The 16 stalls identified on the survey will need to be striped and used for employee parking, so the stalls that exist on the west side of the property can be used for customer parking. Vehicles will not be allowed to park along the south side of the building as this area is only 19.7 ft. wide and code requires a minimum of 18 ft. for one way access to the rear storage area. This area also needs to remain free of vehicle parking to allow fire truck access around the entire building. Therefore, vehicles that are cuRently parked there, waiting for service, will need to be parked in the proposed outdoor storage area and employee vehicles will need to be parked on the north side of the building. It should also be noted that City code requires that all driveways and parking areas be surfaced with blacktop or concrete. Therefore, any area in the petitioner's yard that is driven on in order to get to parking stalls, the outdoor storage area, or the dumpster needs to be paved. If additional paving is required on this site, the petitioner may be required to comply with drainage and stormwater management requirements. The survey submitted with the special use permit request and the site plan which is attached to the settlement agreement, reflects that the outdoor storage area will be located on the north and east sides of the property. The petitioner is proposing two outdoor storage areas, one at 171 ft. 1 in. by 20 ft. 1 in. (3435 sq. ft) and the other directly north of it is 24 ft. 11 in. by 22 ft. 4 in. (556 sq. ft). The first outdoor storage area will allow the storage of vehicles for an auto body repair business, which is one of the petitioner's tenants. This area is on the east side of the building and encompasses a paved area and also the loading dock which is used for deliveries of the petitioner's signs. The second outdoor storage area encompasses the enclosed trailers, which are located north of the loading dock and north of the existing building. Storage will not be allowed on any other part of the property. To ensure that this happens the open land north of the building and employee parking lot will be landscaped with black dirt and then seeded with grass that becomes established and then is cut regularly and otherwiise maintained. City code as well as the settlement agreement also state that all storage will be fully screened so as to not be visible from any public right-of-ways or from adjacent industrial/commercial uses. The height of the outdoor storage shall not exceed 12 ft. City staff has heard from the neighboring property owner to the south who states that there is an access easement between the finro properties, which allows the neighbor to the south access across the petitioner's property to get to his property. This access is also important for fire protection accessibility around their building. That access easement is not depicted on the survey submitted by the petitioner. Staff has asked the neighbor to provide the documentation, so the petitione�'s surveyor can reflect that easement on the plan. RECOMMENDATIONS City Staff recommends approval of this special use permit, with stipulations. Limited outdoor storage is a permitted special use in the M-2, Heavy Industrial zoning district, provided specific code requirements are met, subject to stipulations. STIPULATIONS Staff recommends that if the special use permit is granted, the following stipulations be attached. 1. No outdoor storage other than the proposed 3, 991 square feet area shall exist on the site without an additional special use permit being approved. 2. All oufdoor storage on the subject property shall be removed and put into the proposed 3, 991 syuare foot area w'�thin 30 days of approval of this special use permif. 3. The City reserves the right to require that the property come into compliance with parking requirements if the City deems that it is necessary, in the future. 4. Per City code requirements, all areas driven on by a motor vehicle shall be covered in a hard surface material approved by the City. 5. All parking areas to be marked and striped for employee and customer parking. Customer parking shall be on the west side of the property outside the fence. All west side parking stalls shall be signed for °customer parking only" and "no parking" signs shall be posted on the south side of the building. 6. The open area north of the employee parking lot shall be landscaped with black dirt and seeded with grass that becomes established by July 1, 2008. Grass shall be cut regularly and maintained to City code requirements. 7. Outdoor storage area, including the enclosed trailers, shall be fully screened so as to not be visible from the public right-of-way or any adjacent commerciaUrndustrial uses. This condition will require the addition of opaque screening thaf encompasses the north, easf and west sides of the outdoor storage area, including on the gate or gates. Gate to remain closed except for entering and exiting to allow proper screening of outdoor storage area. 8. Material and equipment stored outside shall nof exceed 12 ft. in heighf. 9. If any of the trailers currently used for outdoor storage are moved or replaced, the property owner shall then be reguired to pave the area beneath the frailers and extend the curbing to the entire east side and the entire north side of the outdoor storage area as depicted on the site plan attached to the settlement agreement. 90. Hazardous chemicals and materials may not be stored outside. 11. The petitioner shall work with the neighboring property owner to determine if an access easement exists on the subject property. If documentation can't be located for an existing access easement, one needs to �led with Anoka County. !n eiiher case, action shall be taken to secure public record of the easement within 45 days of the City Councils approval of this special use permit. 1/30/08 City of Fridley Application for special use permit for outdoor storage Lawrance Properties and its tenants, Signcrafters, The Auto Body Shop, and Albrecht Sign Company are requesting a special use pemnit to continue the use of the outdoor stora,ge at 7765-7775 Main Street NE.

We also propose to repair the damaged fencing and install proper screening on the north side of the property. The attached site plan details all existing conditions and indicates exactly where all items will be stored on the property. The total outdoor storage will not exceed 3991 square feet as noted on the site plan labeled proposed..
