PS #09-03
REQUEST
The petitioner, the City of Fridley's Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) is seeking
to replat the property located at the southwest corner of Main Street and 61St Avenue to create
new lots and legal descriptions, which will allow the HRA to lease the land necessary for the
Northstar Commuter Rail park and ride facility to the Metropolitan Council.
ANALYSIS
The City's HRA purchased the property necessary for the Northstar station on the east side of
the BNSF rail line, after the Federal funding for the Northstar project came up short. The HRA
will retain ownership of the site, but is entering in to a long term (200 year) lease agreement
with the Metropolitan Council for the operation of the park L610C and ride on the HRA property. In order to create thenecessary legal documents for the agreements, and to a, 5, Val E
provide the HRA with an opportunity to develop a portion of
the site in the future, it is necessary to replat the property
into the proposed preliminary plat layout, which is in your
packet for your review.
Metro Transit will operate the 337 parking stall park and
ride facility on Lot 2 and Lot 2A through the lease
agreement with the HRA. The HRA is also responsible to
provide adequate storm water ponding on the site, but due
to the uncertainty of site's future layout, the HRA is
providing an easement for the use of the pond found on the
northern lot, which is Lot 3. ,
Z _5 .
The reason the development has Lots 1 and 2, split into 2
lots, is because some of the land to be replatted is Torrens
property while other portions of it are Abstract. Anoka
County doesn't allow the combination of these different types of property without first getting a
Registration of Land Titles by District Court Order, which can be a lengthy process. As a result,
the HRA has chosen to plat the land as proposed in the attached preliminary plat.
The lots involved in the proposed replat are zoned P, Public Facilities and as a result are in
compliance with all code requirements.
RECOMMENDATION
City Staff recommends approval of the replat request.

REQUEST
The petitioner, Universal Signs Inc., who is
representing Walgreen's, is requesting a
special use permit to allow an electronic
reader board to replace the existing r
manual reader board on the existing pylon
sign on their property which is located at ' n
6525 University Avenue.
A free-standing sign already exists on the s
subject property, which is located on the
southwest side of the property. At this
time, the petitioner is seeking to change
out the existing 42.9 square foot manual
reader board sign with a 23 square foot _
electronic reader board sign. The total
square footage of the pylon sign after the
change will be 60 square feet.
HISTORY
The subject property is located on the northeast corner of University Avenue and Mississippi
Street. The property is zoned S-2, Redevelopment District. The property was originally
1-1- ':� developed in 1965 with a Red Owl Grocery Store. After the
M5 W grocery store closed, several other commercial type
LJYLYI::m businesses occupied the building. In 1998, the original AV building was demolished and a new Walgreen's building was
constructed. The existing free-standing sign was also
constructed in 1998.

iPPi ST 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 every 45 seconds.
The sign also needs to be in conformance with the sign
requirements for the zoning district, in which the property is
located. Since, the subject property is zoned S-2,
> LLITE LN Redevelopment District, staff uses the code requirements for
»-�--� the most like use, which in this case would be commercial.
The commercial zoning districts require free-standing signs to be a maximum of 80 square feet
in size. The existing sign meets that size requirement at 79.9 square feet and the change to an
electronic reader board sign will actually reduced the total square footage to 60 square feet. All
other commercial standards for free-standing signs are being met with this sign.
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 any zoning district, except residential provided the sign complies with
Code requirements, subject to stipulations.
STIPULATIONS
City Staff recommends that if the special use permit is granted, the following stipulations be
attached.
1. The petitioner shall obtain a sign permit and current sign erector license prior to installing
any signage on site.
2. Message on L.E.D. sign shall not change more often than authorized under Section
214.07 of the Fridley City Code.
3. Message on L.E.D. sign shall never flash or have motion that may distract vehicular
traffic in the area.
