Outdoor Storage of Pallets Within a Fenced in Area in the Rear Yard of the
Property Generally Located at 5261 Ashton Avenue (Ward 3).
William Burns, City Manager, stated the pallets at this location would be stored in a 9' x 75'
fenced in area in an industrial district. The request is well within the limits of the City's
provisions for outdoor storage in industrials districts. The Planning Commission unanimously
approved the request at their February 20 meeting. Staff recommends Council's approval.
APPROVED.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 10 2008 PAGE 2
2. Approve Extension of Rezoning Request, ZOA #OS-03, by JLT Group, Inc., for the
Property Generally Located at 5601 East River Road (Ward 3).
William Burns, City Manager, stated this property is on the east side of East River Road and
borders I-694. It is a 25-acre site. Council originally approved the first reading for rezoning of
this property to C-3 on September 12, 2005. The JLT Group was to return to Council with a site
plan within two years. In July 2007 staff did receive a proposal for a big box commercial
development that in staff's view had many limitations and shortcomings. Since then JLT has
been working with the adjoining landowner to the north to negotiate access issues. Since these
issues have not yet been resolved, JLT is asking for an additional extension of time for bringing a
development proposal to Council. Staff recommends they be given an additional six months or
until September 12, 2008, to resolve their access issues and submit a proposal.
APPROVED.
3. Resolution Ordering Advertisement for Bids: 2008 Miscellaneous Concrete Repair
Project No. 375.
William Burns, City Manager, stated this is an annual project that covers the remedial sidewalk,
pavement and curb repairs that are made necessary due to utility repairs, deterioration or
driveway entrance permits. We have budgeted $55,000 for this work in 2008. Staff
recommends Council's approval.
ADOPTED RESOLUTION NO. 2008-16.
4. Receive Bids and Award Contract for the Repair of Wells 8, 9, and 12.
William Burns, City Manager, said this is another annual project. This year we plan to pull the
pumps and the motors for Wells 8, 9, and 12. In additional to examining and repairing pumps
and motors, we also look at the casings, the screens, and the cables that are associated with these
wells. Once all of the repairs are made and the pumps and motors have been restored to the
wells, we will know the ultimate cost of this project. Typically the actual cost is considerably
less than the total amount budgeted. In bidding the project, we assumed there are certa.in basic
repairs that will occur no matter what, with the expectation that once the pumps and motors are
pulled there could be additional expenses.
The low bidder for this year's base bid was Bergerson-Caswell of Maple Plain, Minnesota. The
base bid for the three wells is $60,090. We have budgeted $90,000. Staff recommends Council .
receive the bids and award the contract to Bergerson-Caswell of Maple Plain, Minnesota.
THIS ITEM WAS REMOVED FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA AND PLACED ON
THE REGULAR AGENDA.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 10. 2008 PAGE 3
5. Approve Change Order No. 4 for the 2007 Street Improvement Project No. ST.
2007-L
William Burns, City Manager, stated the final change order for this project is $56,657.80 for a
total cost of $2,497,974.33 for this project. This is only 1 percent more than the original contract
amount of $2,429,062.50. Most of the change order, $46,080 is for additional boulevard
- excavation that was completed throughout the project area. Staff recommends Council's
approval.
THIS ITEM WAS REMOVED FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA AND PLACED ON
THE REGULAR AGENDA.
6. Award 2008 Street Maintenance Contracts.
William Burns, City Manager, stated Fridley has for several years been enteririg into a joint
contract for various street ma.intenance services with Coon Rapids, Andover, Brooklyn Center,
Columbia Heights, and Ham Lake. Under this joint powers arrangement, Coon Rapids does the
bidding and administers the contract. The 2008 contractual work under this agreement includes
$165,751.80 for seal coating of streets; $12,158.40 for contract street sweeping; and $6,592 for
pavement markings. The pavement markings and street sweeping are budgeted in the Public
Works section of the general fund budget. The seal coating is budgeted in the general capital
improvements plan. The amount budgeted is a little short of the bid, $25,751.89. Public Works
Director, Jim Kosluchar, believes he can make up for the overage through other operational
savings. Staff recommends Council's approval.
7. Appointment — City Employee.
Dr. Burns stated staff recommends the appointment of Brad Furlong to the position of Public
Services Worker — Sewer.
APPROVED.
8. Claims (135773-135968).
APPROVED.
9. Licenses.

NEW BUSINESS:
4. Receive Bids and Award Contract for the Repair of Wells 8, 9, and 12.
Mayor Lund stated he was a little confused between what it says in his packet and the
presentation by Dr. Burns. It says the low bid was $60,090. In looking at the charts in the
agenda materials, the low bid of Bergerson-Caswell amounts to about $125,000. He asked if
they were approving the low bid of $60,900 or the high bid.
James Kosluchar, Public Works Director, stated they would be approving the low bid, which
includes removal and inspection of the pumps and motors and some minor repairs.
Mayor Lund stated if they are going to approve this tonight, it is for $60,090. He assuxnes it
specifies exactly in the contract what they are paying that amount for, so there is no dispute. He
asked what happens if the cost exceeds $90,000.
Mr. Kosluchar stated if it exceeds $90,000 for necessary repairs, he would be back before
Council explaining those needs and requirements. Their goal is to atta.ck the worst of the three -
wells. The likelihood of overage is highest at the beginning.
Mayor Lund asked if there was something in the bid that tells them they are giving us a base bid
for $60,090.
Mr. Kosluchar said the potential repairs they commonly encounter are itemized ahead of time
so they have a fixed price to work with, including fixed labor rates for any other additional labor
charges.

Mr. Kosluchar said it would not.
Mayor Lund said the City would pay the added expense.
Mr. Kosluchar replied in this case, yes.
Mayor Lund asked if they were possibly certifying the assessments too soon.
William Burns, City Manager, stated we are required by the County to have our levies and `
assessments in by a certain date in November. He did not think they could avoid that deadline
unless they want to put the assessment off for an entire additional year. They lose money by _
doing that.

1. PUBLIC HEARING
Consideration of a Special Use Permit, SP #08-02, by Mondi Minneapolis, to allow
limited outdoor storage on their property, generally located at 5261 Ashton Avenue.
MOTION by Commissioner Dunham to open the public hearing. Seconded by Commissioner
Sielaf£
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, ACTING CHAIRPERSON KONDRICK
DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE HEARING OPENED AT 7:32 P.M.
Ms. Stromberg stated Steve Lieb of Mondi Minneapolis is seeking a special use permit to allow
limited outdoor storage of pallets within a fenced-in area in the rear yard of the property at 5261
Ashton Avenue. The petitioner is requesting to store pallets required for their business in a
9-foot by 75-foot enclosed storage area. The property is zoned M-2, Heavy Industrial, as are all
surrounding properties. It is on the corner of 52"d Way and Ashton Avenue. The property was
developed in 1999 with a 53,952 square foot building.
Ms. Stromberg stated while doing code enforcement inspections in this neighborhood, it came
to staf�s attention this property was in non-compliance with outdoor storage requirements as are
several other businesses in this neighborhood. As a result letters were sent to those property
owners notifying them of the violation and the need for them to apply for a special use permit if
they wish to continue to have outdoor storage on their sites. As a result the petitioner has
requested the special use permit tonight.
Ms. Stromberg stated City Code allows limited outdoor storage in the industrial districts that is
up to 50 percent of the building footprint with a special use permit. The building is 53,952
square feet, so City Code would allow up to 26,976 square feet of outdoor storage on this site.
The petitioner is proposing to construct a 675 square foot fenced-in area to allow for the storage
of pallets which is 2.5 percent of the allowable outdoor storage space for this property.
Ms. Stromberg stated additional requirements also need to be met before a special use permit
can be issued. Those requirements relate to height, screening of the materials, making sure the
subject property is meeting parking requirements, and ensuring the types of materials stored
outside are approved by the Fire Mazshal. City Code requires that the existing business has 34
parking stalls based on the breakdown of the usage within the building. The petitioner has .
articulated to staff that the existing business only has five employees, and the parking area is
really needed more for semi-truck parking and semi-truck maneuvering to and from their
existing loading dock.
Ms. Stromberg stated the site plan submitted by the petitioner shows 22 parking stalis; however,
they are proposing to proof an additional 23 parking stalls. Staff will consider the proof of
parking appropriate based on the existing needs of this business; however, if those needs were to
change, the proof of parking area would need to be striped and maintained for vehicle parking.
The petitioner is meeting or exceedin� all other code requirements for limited outdoor storage.
Ms. Stromberg stated City staff has heard from only one neighboring property owner who was
simply inquiring about what types of items were going to be stored outside on this property.
After Ms. Stromberg explained it to them, they did not have any problems with the request.
Ms. Stromberg sta.ted City staff recommends approval of this special use permit with
stipulations as limited outdoor storage is a permitted special use in the M-2, Heavy Industrial
zoning district. Staff recommends that if the special use permit is granted, the following
stipulations be attached:
l. No outdoor storage other than the proposed enclosed area for pallet storage shall
exist on the site without an additional special use permit being approved.
2. The petitioner shall receive approval from the Fire Marshal prior to construction
of the enclosed area.
Acting Chairperson Kondrick asked Mr. Lieb whether he had anything to add to the
presentation?
Steve Lieb, Chief Operating Officer and Vice President of Mondi Minneapolis, stated, no, not at
all.
Acting Chairperson Kondrick asked Mr. Lieb whether he was in agreement v►ri�a>-the
stipulations as proposed by staff?
Mr. Lieb replied, yes, absolutely.
�
�
Acting Chairperson Kondrick asked him whether there would be any problems with the trucks
going back and forth and will they still be able to maneuver in the parking lot?
Mr. Lieb replied, yes, they can.
Acting Chairperson Kondrick asked Mr. Lieb what type of business do they do there?
Mr. Lieb replied they do warehousing distribution for a European paper manufacturer.
MOTION by Commissioner Sielaff to close the public hearing. Seconded by Commissioner
Dunham.

UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE
DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
1. PUBLIC HEA.RING
Consideration of a Special Use Permit, SP #08-04 by Amtech Lighting on
behalf of Holiday Gas Station, to allow an electronic message sign to be
incorporated into the existing freestanding sign, generally located at 5695
Hackman Avenue NE.
MOTION by Commissioner Sielaff to open the public hearing. Seconded by
Commissioner Velin.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE
DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE HEARING OPENED AT
7:32 P.M.
Stacy Stromberg, CiTy Planner, stated the petitioner is requesting a special use permit to
allow an electronic reader board to replace the existing numeral reader board on an
existing pylon sign at the Holiday Gas Station located at 5695 Hackman Avenue. A
freestanding sign already exists on the subject property. In 2006 the property received a
special use permit approval to allow an L.E.D gas pricing sign. At this time the petitioner
is seeking to change out the existing 21.5 square foot manual reader board sign with the
same size electronic reader board sign.
1
Ms. Stromberg stated the subject property is located on Hackman Avenue, just east of
Highway 65 and is zoned C-2 General Business. The property has been used as a service
station since the 1950's, and 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 the motor
vehicle fuel station store and, as a result, the existing Holiday station was constructed.
Four fueling stations covered by a canopy were also constructed on this site, and a sign
permit was also issued for the existing pylon sign in 1999.
Ms. Stromberg stated electronic changeable signs are an approved special use in any
zoning district except residential, provided the message does not change more often than
once every 45 seconds. The sign also needs to be in conformance with the sign
requirements for the zoning districts in which the property is located. The property is
zoned C-2 General Business which requires a freestanding sign cannot exceed 80 square
feet in size. The total sign area of the existing sign is 78 square feet and the proposed
electronic piece is 21.5 square feet. After zeplacing the old sign with the new sign, there
will be 44 square feet of electronic sign area that will exist on this sign.
Ms. Stromberg stated after further review of the existing sign, it appears that it is
deficient in meeting two code requirements related to freestanding signage on
commercial properties. City Code requires that all freestanding signs be 10 feet from a
property line or driveway. The existing sign is 10 feet from the west property line;
however, it is only 2 feet from the driveway coming into the lot. City Code also requires
a minimum of 10 feet from the bottom of the sign to the finished ground grade when the
sign is within 25 feet from a driveway or a corner vision safety zone. As a result of these
findings, it will be necessary to stipulate that the sign is either moved to be 10 feet from
the driveway or a variance shall be obtained. It is also necessary to stipulate that either
the height of the sign is increased or the size of the proposed electronic reader board sign
be reduced so the distance between the ground and the bottom of the sign is 10 feet. In
no case shall the sign exceed the maximum code required height of 25 feet.
Ms. Stromberg stated City staff recommends approval of this special use permit as
electronic changeable signs are an approved special use in a commercial zoning district.
If the special use permit is approved, it will repeal and replace Special Use Permit #06-
10. City staff recommends 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 insta.11ing any signage on site.
2. The petitioner shall submit plans to City staff showing how the 10 foot
requirement from the ground to the bottom of the sign will be met prior to
issuance of a sign permit.
3. The petitioner shall move the existing freestanding sign to be 10 feet 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 shall not change more often than authorized under
Section 214.07 of the Fridley City Code.
�
5. Message on L.E.D. sign sha11 never flash or have motion that may distract
vehicular tr�c in the area.
Chairperson Savage asked whether the City has had any contact with Jan Rautio,
Manager of the Moore Lake Apartments, who submitted a letter opposing the sign?
Ms. Stromberg replied Julie Jones did have a discussion with her explaining the details
of the sign. Ms. Rautio stated she would not be able to attend the meeting tonight, so
Julie Jones encouraged her to send a letter instead. The petitioner can address some of
the concerns stated in her letter.
Commissioner Sielaff asked about the deficiencies in the sign right now, were they there
when it was originally approved?
Ms. Stromberg replied, yes, they were.
Commissioner Sielaff asked what is the reason for it not being taken care of up until
now?
Ms. Stromberg replied, she cannot answer that. She is not sure why that was not more
closely looked at when it was originally installed. Therefore, they are recognizing that it
exists now and asking them to comply.
Commissioner Sielaff asked, in other words the Code has not changed?
Ms. Stromberg replied, no, it has not.
Duane Downey, Amtech Lighting, stated those footings have been there a long time for
the sign. He thinks when Holiday purchased the property, they got permits to redo the
driveway and that actually moved the driveway closer to where the existing sign is.
Mr. Downey stated regarding Ms. Rautio's letter, she states she thought the sign would
be too bright. L.E.D. signs generally do not put out more light than an existing
fluorescent sign. If you had a flashing L.E.D. sign it could definitely be an annoyance,
but since Fridley's code doesn't allow the sign to flash, there shouldn't be a problem.
Chairperson Savage asked Mr. Downey if he had any problems with the stipulations?
Mr. Downey replied, no, those are not going to be any problem. There is room to move
it to get it to the 10-foot setback. The only problem he had was it being directly under the
high power lines but they can work around that.
MOTION by Commissioner Saba to close the public hearing. Seconded by
Commissioner Oquist.

DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE HEARING CLOSED AT 7:42
P.M.
Commissioner Saba sta.ted he thinks it the best situation. It is more convenient.
Commissioner Oquist sta.ted it is important at the intersection the sign does not flash
because it is a bad intersection to begin with.
Commissioner Sielaff stated he believed it was an improvement over what they have
now because they wiTl be in compliance.
Chairperson Savage stated the City did do a study of electronic signs about five years
ago in other cities. She just has a concern, not necessarily about this particular sign, but
that we are getting kind of an explosion of these signs. She wandered if it would be
possible for the City to take another look at the ordinances covering these signs in
comparable cities. She certainly does not have a problem with this sign. It would not be
fair to deny this petitioner when it is a permitted similar request.
MOTION by Commissioner Saba approving Special Use Permit, SP #08-04 by Amtech
Lighting on behalf of Holiday Gas Station, to allow an electronic message sign to be
incorporated into the existing freestanding sign, generally located at 5695 Hackman
Avenue NE with the following stipulations:
1. The petitioner sha11 obta.in 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 foot
requirement from the ground to the bottom of the sign will be met prior to
issuance of a sign perniit.
3. The petitioner shall move the existing freestanding sign to be 10 feet 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 shall not change more often than authorized under

5. Message on L.E.D. sign shall never flash or have motion that may distract
vehicular traffic in the area.

2. PUBLIC HEARING
4
Consideration of a Special Use Permit, SP #08-05, by Michael & Patrick
Lawrance to allow limited outdoor storage on the property, generally located
at 7765-77751Vfain Street NE.
MOTION by Commissioner Oquist to open the public hearing. Seconded by
Commissioner Sielaff.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE
DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE HEARING OPENED AT 7:43
P.M.
Stacy Stromberg, City Planner, stated the petitioners, the owners of Signcrafters, are
seeking a special use permit to allow limited outdoor storage on their property located at
7775 Main Street NE. The property is zoned M-2, Heavy Industrial and is located on
Main Street, north of 77�' Avenue. The petitioner plans to use the outdoor storage area
for 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.
Ms. Stromberg stated in October 2005 the petitioners had placed a temporary sign in the
public right-of-way advertising the availability of outdoor storage space if somebody
wanted to rent industrial outdoor storage space. It was at that time that staff notified the
petitioner that outdoor storage areas in the industrial district require a special use permit.
After repeated letters and telephone conversations, the owners of Signcrafters were given
a deadline of March 3, 2006, to submit an application for a special use permit for outdoor
storage. On March 8, 2006, when no application had been received and negotiations had
been broken down, staff issued a cita.tion to Patrick Lawrance, owner of the property, for
having outdoor storage on an industrial property without a special use permit.
Ms. Stromberg stated in response to the criminal citation, the owners of Signcrafters
filed a civil case against the City arguing that they were allowed to have outdoor storage
on the property because they had a legal nonconforming condition. The civil case needed
to be resolved before the criminal case because if Signcrafters prevailed in their position
on being legally non-conforming, no crime was committed by having their outdoor
storage. Consequently, the City's criminal case was put on hold. The civil case, as well
as the criminal case, was finally resolved in a settlement agreement by the Fridley City
Council on January 7, 2008. The settlement agreement required the owners of
Signcrafters to apply for a special use permit by February 1, 2008 which they have and is
what we are discussing tonight.
Ms. Stromberg stated this case is not like a typical process for outdoor storage special
use permits. It is different because there is a settlement agreement that has already been
approved and agreed upon by the City Council and the petitioners as to what is going to
be allowed for outdoor storage on this site.
Ms. Stromberg stated after submitting the special use permit report to our legal staff at
the end of last week, the City's legal staff advised us that instead of approving the
stipulations that staff had placed on the special use permit that are in the Planning
Commission packet, the Planning Commission should instead recommend to the City
Council approval of the resolution that is part of the settlement agreement.
Commissioner Oquist asked if they are going to be setting some sort of a precedent, that
they are going to be seeing more of this rather than stipulations on the special use
permits?
Ms. Stromberg replied, no. This is a very unique case.
Chairperson Savage asked Mr. Lawrance if he had anything to add?
Pat Lawrance, President of Signcrafters, replied it has gone on for several years and he
thinks they are finally in agreement of where everything is at. He received a copy of the
resolution and difference in calculations is due to a survey being obtained. He thinks that
everybody is on board both at his office and here at the City. They axe okay with
everything.
Commissioner Oquist asked Mr. Lawrance whether they plan on leasing out this area
for outdoor storage?
Mr. Lawrance replied, no, they are in agreement that the auto body business that they
Iease part of the building to will have cars and Signcrafters will have signs in the area that
they aze allowed to have outdoor storage.
Commissioner Oquist asked whether he would be putting signs out on the right-of-way
again.
Mr. Lawrance replied, no, they cannot do that except if their tenant they rent their
building to as said in his contract after three years should go away, they may put a small
"For Lease" sign out just to attract a new tenant within the City guidelines.

Subject: Special Use Permit request SP #08-04 for an Electronic Changeable Sign at the Holiday Gas
Station located at 5695 Hackmann Avenue
Background
The City has received a special use permit request for a second electronic changeable sign segment on the
existing pylon sign at the Holiday Gas Station located at 5695 Hackmann Avenue from Amtech Lighting, the
properiy's sign contractor. In 2006, the City granted this properiy a special use permit for an LED sign for
the gas pricing portion of the sign. The petitioner's current request is to change out the existing manual
reader board, which is the lower portion of their free standing sign, with an electronic reader board sign of
the same size.
Commission Recommendation
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on this matter on March 5, 2008. No one from the public
appeared to address the request, but the Commission had received one letter from the adjacent apartment
building expressing concerns. Following discussion, the Commission voted unanimously to recommend
Council approval of SP #08-04. Chair Savage did request, however, that staff conduct another study as to
what other cities have for code requirements on electronic signs.
Staff Recommendation
Staff concurs with Planning Commission's recommendation.

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 was 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 ���� ,.
r
r r ,. ,�5�
� ,
�,4� ,�� � ,�`�
obtained in 1999. As stated above, in 2006, a special
use permit was granted to allow an electronic gas
pricing sign, which exists on the sign today.
��� 'r ' ' ' ` �" CODE REQUIREMENTS
, `,, ��, �. j ` , .'; ��,;-,-
�' �__l Electronic changeable signs are an approved special
�-��,�r�`� ;� �_ �; �, -, use in any zoning district, except residential, provided
�1~-� �' '�� � �� � the message doesn't change more often than once
1 ����` � '�� �'�� every 45 seconds. The sign also needs to be in
� � `�'' ��' � conformance with the sign requirements for the zoning
f ° E`� �'�� district, in which the property is located. The subject
property is zoned, C-2 General Business, which
�, ���= u� �'�=�° i�� requires that free standing signage can not exceed 80
� 1'3-= ' square feet in size. The existing sign meets that size
,�� °A5� ' requirement as will the re-face of the existing manual
�'� i=' ' reader board sign with an electronic reader board sign.
" '-J" 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 corner 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 between 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 to 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-standing 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 shall 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.

Resolution Regarding SP #08-05, a Special Use Permit to Allow Limited Outdoor Storage in
an M-2 Zoning District at 7775 Main Street
Background
In October 2005, staff began encouraging the owners of 7775 Main Street to bring their property into
compliance by applying for a special use permit for limited outside storage. By March of 2006, it was clear
that staff was not going to obtain voluntary compliance with this code requirement on this property, so a
citation was issued to the owner of the property. As our criminal case proceeded, the defendant filed a civil
case against the City, claiming that their outside storage was legal nonconforming. In January of this year,
the City Council approved a settlement agreement resolving both cases. The result of that settlement
agreement is the attached SUP application.
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 petitioners 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. City Code allows limited outdoor
storage in the industrial districts that is up to 50% of the building footprint with a special use permit. The
building's square footage is 11,039 square feet, so City code would allow up to 5,519 sq. ft. of outdoor
storage on this site.
Note that the settlement agreement between the City and the petitioners states that the outdoor storage
area will be 3,195 sq. ft. At the time of the settlement agreement, the petitioners 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 petitioners 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. of outdoor storage.
This SUP review is different than our normal process in that the terms established in the resolution attached
to the settlement agreement serve as the stipulations for the SUP.
Commission Action
On March 5, 2008, the Planning Commission held a public hearing regarding SP #08-05. The Commission
unanimously approved the special use permit request for 7775 Main Street per the terms set forth in the
resolution, which is E�ibit A to the Settlement Agreement approved by Council on January 7, 2008. No one
from the public appeared to testify in opposition to the special use permit request.
Staff Recommendation
Staff concurs with the action taken by the Planning Commission and recommends Council approval of the
attached resolution, approving SP #08-05, a Special Use Permit to allow limited outdoor storage on the
property generally located at 7775 Main Street.

Award of ST2008 - 1 Street Improvement Project
PW08-012
On Thursday, March 11, 2008, at 2:00 pm, bids were opened for the 2008 Street Improvement
Project. Twenty five sets of plans and specifications were sent out and nine bids were
received.
A slow-down in the construction industry has led to a very competitive bidding climate for this
season. In addition, during design Engineering staff recognized opportunities for cost savings.
Design adjustments were made to reduce costs such as reducing street excavation quantities
and minimizing storm sewer requirements.
The low bid was received from Midwest Asphalt Corporation, Inc. of Minnetonka, MN, in the
amount of $2,359,572.21. The high bid received was $3,139,761.36. The most recent cost
estimate performed by Engineering was $2.9 million.
Refer to the attached summary sheet for a breakdown of costs and funding sources, which also
compares the preliminary budget to the revised budget. Approximately $325,000 will be
available from the City's annual State Aid population allocation for off-system use to offset the
street improvement costs. An increase in assessment revenue of approximately $150,000 is
projected due to the amount of commercial property on the project. Project costs such as
surveying, design assistance, and material testing will increase the total project cost an
estimated $103,000. At the conclusion of the project, it is anticipated that the project will
require approximately $1,250,000.00 to paid through 2008 Street Reconstruction General
Obligation bonds. This includes a contingency for budget changes such as assessment
adjustments and change orders.
Recommend the City Council receive the bids and award the 2008 Street Improvement Project
No. ST. 2008 - 1, to Midwest Asphalt Corporation, Inc. of Minnetonka, MN in the amount of
$2, 359, 572.21.
