Signage InfoCINOF FRIDLEY FRIDLEY MUNICIPAL CENTER • 6431 UNIVERSITY .AVE. N.E. FRIDLEY. MN 55432 • (612)571-3450- FAX (612) 571-1287 May 29, 1991 Resident 6880 East River Road Fridley, MN 55432 Dear Resident: The City of Fridley has a sign ordinance regulating the display of permanent signs in all zoning districts, including residential districts. This ordinance regulates types, sizes, and locations of signs. The ordinance also requires a permit for all permanent signs. On May 29, 1991, I observed a sign advertising daycare. The only types of permanent signs allowed in residential districts are: (1) area identification signs of 14 square feet maximum; and (2) wall signs of 3 square feet maximum (see enclosed ordinance). According to my records, I have no permit for this sign; therefore, this sign is illegal. If you wish to comply with the Sign Ordinance, please relocate your sign to the wall of a structure or contact me regarding applying for a variance to the Sign Code. If you have questions or concerns regarding this matter, you can contact me at 572-3593. Your prompt response is greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Michele McPherson, B.L.A. Planning Assistant MM:ls C-90-164 O CIlYOF FRIDLEY FRIDLEY MUNICIPAL CENTER • 6431 UNIVERSITY AVE. N.E. FRIDLEY, MN 55432 • (612) 571-3450 • FAX (612) 571-1287 July 2, 1991 Ann Wichern 6880 East River Road Fridley, MN 55432 Dear Ms. Wichern: In May 1991, I sent you a letter stating that your daycare sign did not meet the City Sign Code and requested that you either remove the sign or apply for a variance. Following your receipt of my letter, the City Council met and discussed the issue of residential signs. The direction I received was that residential signs need to comply with the Sign Code, or the property owners should apply for a variance. This letter is to inform you that you should apply for a variance to continue to maintain your daycare sign in its present location. Enclosed please find a variance application and a schedule for the Appeals Commission. If you have any further questions regarding this issue, please contact me at 572-3593. Sincerely, Michele A. McPherson Planning Assistant MAM:1s C-91-206 Community Development Department PIANNING DIVISION City of Fridley DATE: July 3, 1991 TO: Barbara Dacy, Community Development Director FROM: Michele McPherson, Planning Assistant SUBJECT: Followup on Residential Signs on East River Road This is a followup on my memo of May 30, 1991, regarding several residential signs along East River Road. I inspected the daycare sign at 6880 East River Road and found that it is still being displayed. I sent a letter on July 2, 1991, to the daycare provider regarding the need to apply for a variance. The other outstanding sign issue is the off -premise, out -of -city signs currently displayed in the area of 77th Avenue and East River Road, as well as Osborne Road and East River Road. I contacted the BelRae Ballroom regarding the need to remove these signs. They contacted me and provided me with the number of the company responsible for installing these signs. I will send a letter to Jensen Posting, the company responsible for these signs, and request that they be removed. MAM:1s M-91-485
