Mayor Nee stated the City has, in the psst, traded land and vacated
right-of-way along Highway 65 to provide a loopback. He stated this solves

Mr. Marlen Besler, President of Q Petrale�an, stated they wished to consider
this option, �.f the Caty would approve the car wash. He stated they are
anxious to work with the City to resolve thzs issue and improve their

side yard setback and the setback to reduce the driving aisle by a 2-2 vote.

cited for this variance. Mr. Newman stated he is not sure the hardship is
there and it is something the Council will have to decide. He stated,

no other practical use of the property.
Coimcilman Goodspeed stated he heard the hardship was the hiyh water table.
He questioned if there may be another solution other than the variarices.
Gouncilman Barnette felt this would be a race addition to the City, haaever,
he wanted the property aar�ers to the mrth to be able to ooirnnent and see if
the� had any ob7ections. He felt then would be the time to take another
look at it.

to Nissan ana are replacing dealer signs nationwide. He stated under
Nissan's change, the petttioner is reqturcc3 to identify the dealership on
the fascia and have the Nissan brand sicy� pole-mounted. Mr. Flora stated
Mr. Ben7anin has researched other dealers in this area and they have signs
in excess of 160 square feet.
Mr. Flora stated the Appeals Commission reco�nended approval of the variance
on a 3 to 1 vote for the increased squate footaGe, but failed to increase
the maximun hea qht k� a 2 to 2 vote.
Mr, Roland Ben�anin, aa�r of Nissan (formerly Datsim North), stated Nissan

witYa in the metropolitan area have been aathorized 160 �uare foot signs,
except for Msnnetonka. He stated that dealer is looking at relocating. Mr.

osz
� Mr. Ben�amin stated they now have a total sign package, including the
fascia, of 589 square feet and this new siyn �ckage would be only 431
square feet, which is actually a reduction in signage.
Coimcilman Fitz�trick stated every time t-hey oonsider an item such as this,
thEy hear the City's Si� Ordirance is out of line with other cities. He
felt it was prok�bly time to oom�are the Ca.ty's orcU.nance with others in the
metro�.nlitan area.
Dir. Flora stateci there was a proposal presented to the Appeals Co�nission to
change the Sign Ordinance to comgly with the various Zoning Codes predicated
on lot size. He stated th�y are trying to wcrk that approach irito the siyn
pro�:osal.
Mayor Nee felt there is a real problen in this hlock and businesses arer.'t
very visible or Feogle have trouble getting off Umversity to get to these
establishments.
Coimcilman Barnette stated he has taken the positior, they have to encouraye
busines�s to stay in Fridley and give then a break, when possible. He

�imcilman Goodspeed stated he is in favor of the variances because this
business is located so far fran Umversity Aveue.
Coimcilman Barnette stated he favored enwuraging business in Fridl�y.
Caimcilman Schneider felt the Council would be getting a lot of variance
r�uests, if this is approved. He felt the Sign Ordinance should defir�tely
be looked at, but tmtil that is done, it would seem irrzppropriate to grant
these variances. He felt the problen should be resolved on a systematic
basis, rather than hit or miss.
Ni�yor Nee stated he clicLi't feel adding 80 more square feet would have any
visual un�ct and that you had to oonsider the relationship of the area. FIe
also stated they are reducing the sic�age on the building for more space on
the g�lon sign.
Coimcilman Fitz�trick felt there should he a sericsus study of the Sign
Ord�.r�nce to see if the orcv.r�nce is out of line and hav it com�res with
other cities and then possibly make some werall changes.
