Re: Non-conforming Advertising Signs
Dear Mr. Loftquist:
This letter will reiterate our telephone conversation of March 28, 1975
and make clear the City's requirements for the issuance of a Special Use
Permit that would allow your company to maintain free standing advertising
signs (billboardsa within the City af Fridley. .
On September 15, 1969, the City of Fridley passed a Signs and Billboards
Ordinance, Secti.on 214 of the City Code. Section 214.112 of the ordinance
states that "non-conforming advertising signs existing on the effective
date of this Ordinance shall become non-conforming uses and shall be �
disconti.nued an or before the dates listed below, unless the required
Special Use Permit is obtained. .Free standing and wall sic�ns: September
15, 1974." The five year period from September 15, 2969 ta September 15,
1974 was designed to a11ow all parties to amortize their signs so that
when the grace period expired, the non-complying siqns could be removed.
Ai: this time, the City must require you to remove,or as allowed by the Code,
to make application for a Special Use Permit for the following free standing
advertising signs; � �

Enclosed you will find a copy of the City's Sign Ordinance. Please note
Section 214.042 which.allows free standing advertising signs only in the
followi.ng zoned districts; C-2S (general shopping areas), M-1 (light
industria� areas�, and M-2 (heavy industrial areas). Any sign existing
in an improperly zoned district must have that area rezoned prior to the
City considering any other conditions necessary for the:issuance of the
Special Use Permit. Please also note the coriditions in Section 204.042,
� through 7, which are the minimum standards for free standing advertising .
signs. Any variance from these minimum standards must be passed through
a variance procedure and final approval be granted by the City Council
prior to issuance of a Special Use Permit, To determine compliance with
these standards., the City will require a r.egistered survey indicating
these conditions for each sign a�d a legal description of the lot where
each sign is located and the sign's positian on that lot.
Additional information that is necessary when applying for the Spec�al
Use Permit,is; date built, cost to build, date of original lease, date
of current lease and renewal date. Finally, the property owner wi11 be
required to sign the application.'
A member of the City staff will be conducting a reinspection on or about
May l, 1975, at which time it will be expected that all applications will
have been received or said signs removed.
We are confident in your cooperation in regard to this matter and if I
personally can be of further assistance, please feel free to contact me
at 560-3450, ext. 41. •

Re: Non-conforming Advertising Signs.
Dear Mr. Bratland:
This letter tirill reiterate our telephone conversation of April 1, 1975
and make clear the City's requirements.for the.issuance of a Special Use
Permit that would allow your company to maintain free standing advertising
signs (billboards) within th.e City of k'ridley.
On September 15, 1969, the City of Fridley passed a Signs and Billboards
Ordinance, Section 214 of the City Code. Secti.on 214.1.12 of the ordinance
states that, "non-conforminq advertising signs existing on the effective
date of this Ordinance shall become non-conforming uses and shall be
discantinued on or before the dates listefl below, unless the required
Special Use Permit is obtained. Free standing an� wa1Z signs: September
15, 1974." The five year period from September 15, 1969 to September 15,
1974 was designed to allow all parties to amortize their signs so that
when the grace period expired, the non-complying signs could be removed.
At this time, the City must require you to remove, or as allowed by the
Code, to make application for a 5pecial Use Permit for the following free
standing advertising signs;
1. 5401 Central Avenue N.E.
2. 5403 Central Avenue N.E.
3. 5457 - 4th Street N.E.
4. 6801 Highway #65 (6751 Highway #�65 - old address)
5. 7568 Highway #65 (7410 Highway #65 - old address)
Enclosed you will find a copy of the City's Sign Ordinance. Please note
Section 214,042 which allows free standing advertising sicjns only in the
following zoned districts; C-2S (general shopping areas), M-1 (light
industrial areas), and M-2 (heavy industrial areas). Any sign exi:sting
in an improperly zoned district must have that area rezoned prior to the
City considering any other conditions necessary for the issuance of the
6

Special Use Permit. Please also note �he conditions in Section 204.042,
1 through 7, which are the minimum standards for free standing advertising
signs. Any variance from these minimum standards for free standing signs
must be passed through a variance procedure and final approval be granted
by the City Council prior to issuance of a Special Use Permit. To
determine compliance with these standards, the City will require a
- registered survey indicating these conditions for each sign and a legal
description of the lot where each sign is located and the sign's position
. on that lot.
Additiona]. information that is necessary when applying for the Specia]
Use Permit is; date built, cost to build, date of original lease, date
of current lease and renewal date. FinallX, the property owner will be
required to sign the application. .
A member of the City staff wil�. be conducting a reinspection on or about
May 1, 1975, at which time it will be expected that all applications will.
have been received or said signs removed..
We are confident in your cooperation in xegard
personally can be of further assistance, please
at 560-3450, ext. 41.
Sincerely,
e

fair rental value of prcmiscs ]css amount
of rent for remaincicr of term.
�g, Eminent Domain G��47
Value of orai leases that are month-to-
month tenancies is limitcd to rental value
of premises for 30 days lcss rent payable
for that period.
19. Eminent Domaln C=�205
Absent evidence of value of oral and
written leascs at end of statutory amortiza-
tian period, evidence did not indicate that
there had been takin� of valuable property
interest from billboard o���ner so as to ren-
der appliration af excltisionary zoning ordi-
nance unconstitutional.
2p. Eminent Doma}n f�155
If a lease by its terms automatically
terminates upon condemnation of land,
lessee is entitled to no compensation for
loss of liis leasehold ii�terest, since he
agreed in acivance to such a termination.
21. Eminent Domain G�155
Where billboard owner, as lessee, had
sole po�ver to terminate leases if vatue of
]ocations became diminished or if use of
billboards was prohibited by any la�� or
ordinance such leases �vould not preclude
receiving compensation if taking occurred.
moting thc general �vcl£are or to any' othcr
traditional ohjccti��e of a municipatity's po-
lice power, the mere fact that aestSietic con-
siderations were a significant factor in mo-
tivating its adoption will not imalidatc the
orclinance.
2. A r.oning ordinance, enacted by a
villagc pursuant to its police power, which
as a part of a cornprehensive municipal plan
prohibits the construction of all commer-
cial enterprises, including billboards, in
resi�lential districts and requires the remov-
al of all preexisting billboards �vithin a 3-
year period is not so arbitrary, unreason-
able, or unrelated to the gcneral welfare
of the community as to be ianconstitutional
by its terms.
3. While no statute expressly or spe-
cificatiy authorizes a municipality to enact
an amortization zoning ordinance requiring
the removal of preexisting nonconforming
billboards from e�clusively residential dis-
tricts before a stated date, such a power
must necessarily be implied to effectuate
the powers granted in Minn.5� 412•2�1,

Thus, in this case, the issuc of constitu-
tionality mast turn on �ti•}icther plaintiff
has established that the village council was
arbitrary an<1 unreasonable in its legisla-
tive determination that the exclusion of
billboards from residential districts pro-
motes the general �velfare.
holding ttiat thc po��er of eminent domain
was not applicablc to residcntial zonin�
since no "puhlic use" was involved, this
court reversed iYself and upheld such a con-
demnation ordinancc. Statc ex rel. Twin
City Bldg. & Investment Co. v. Houghton,
144 D'1inn. 1, 13, l74 N.W 88�, 176 N.W.
159, 8 A.L.R. 585.
The ordinance in question is part of a
comprehensive zoning plan designed, amon�;
other tliings, to exclude all commercial e�i-
terprises from residential arcas. In the
early years of t}ie dcvelopment of zoning
law, courts were extremely reluctant to ac-
cept the judament of legislative bodies
that a nonconforming but esscntially inof-
fensive commercial structure, such as a
neighborhood store, endange.red the health,
safety, morals, or general welfare of a resi-
dential area. State ex rel. Lachtman v.
Houghton, l34 1�Iinn. 226, :5S I`T.�'V• "1017,
L.R.A.1917F', 10�0. Esscntially, the only
zoning ordinances upheld were those de-
signed to eliminate nuisances. In several
eases ordinances excluding billboards from
residential neighborhoods �vere sustlined
on the ground that billUoards are a nui-
sance. Cusack Co. v. City of Chicago, 2-�2
U.S. 526, 37 S.Ct. 190, 61 L.Ed. 472; St.
Louis Poster Advertising Co. v. City of St.
Louis, 2-�9 U.S. 269, 39 S.Ct. 274, 63 L.Ed.
599. In tIiis case, however, the trial court
found, and the village concedes, that plain-
tif f's billboards are not a nuisance in the
common-la�v sense.
Residential zoning by use of the police
power alone was finally upheld in the
]andmark case, State ex rel. Beery v.
Houghton, 164 I�Iinn. 1.4�, 20-� N•W 569,
5=� A.L.R. I012, affirmed, 273 U.S. 671, 47
S.Ct. 474, 71 L.Ed. 533, in which this court
specifically reversed its prior contrary
opinions. In that case the city of 1�'tin-
neapolis had by ordinance excluded multi-
ple-family d�vellings from residential dis-
tricts. The court stated (lfr4 bfinn. 150,
20=� N.W. 570) :
Thwarted in their attempts to use the po-
lice power, municipalities attempted to de-

In ruclid, Ohio v. Amblcr Rcalty Co.,
272 U.S. 36i, 358, 47 S.Ct. 11-�, 113, 71 L.
Ed. 303, 311, the L'nited States Supreme
Court, in upholding a zonir�g ordinancc en-
acted under the police po�+�er �vhich ex-
cluded commercial and industrial uses, in-
cluding bi]]boards, from residential zones
��hether they were inherently inof£ensive
or not, said :
"Here *** the exclusion is in gen-
eral terms of a11 industriai establishments,
and it may thereby liappen that not only
offensivc or dangerous industries will Ue
excludcd, but those �vhich are neither
offensive nor dangerous �vill share the
same fate. But this is no more than
happens in respect of many practice-
foruidding laws �vhich this Court has
upheld, although dra�vn in general terms
so as to include individual cases that may
turn out to be innocuous in themselves.
[Citations omitted.) The inclusion of a
reasonaUle margin, to insur� effective
enforcement, tivill not put ugon a la�v,
otherwise valid, the stamp of invalidity.
Such la�vs may also find their justifica-
tion in the fact that, in some fields, the
bad fades into tSie good by such insensi-
ble degrees that the two are not capable
of Ueing readily distinguished and sepa-
rated in terms of legislation. In the
light of these considerations, we are not
pregarcd to say that the end in view was
not sufficient to justify the general rtile
of the ordinance, aithough some indus-
tries of an innocent character might fall
�vithin thc proscribed ciass. It cannot
be said that the ordinance in this respect
`passes the Uounds of reason and assumes

Unitcd Advcrtising Corp. v. Borough of

v. \fayor and City Cotmcil of Iialtimore,
212 1�Td. 301, 124 A.2d �63. In the ]atter
case thc nlaryland court said (212 i�Td.
3I6, 129 A.2d 370) :
"* ** It does not follow that be-
cause billboards are not prima facie ob-
jectionaUle in commercial and industrial
districts—altllough there they may be
found as a fact to Ue objectionable—that
the people acting through their ]egisla-
tive representatives, may nof find th.:m
to so seriously incommode the health,
comfort and general welfare of the
dwellers in residential zones that the
benefit to ttie puUlic, brought aUout Uy
their removal, substantially out�r•eighs the
resulting harm to individuals. If it c�oes
not clearly appear that this legislative
finding was utireasonable and arbitrary
—almost demonstrabiy wrong from the
record—the conrts may not disYurb it."
Thus, today it is gcnera;ly held that mu-
nicipalities by use of their police power may
coTistitutionally exctude al] commercial uses,
including billboards, from residential dis-
tricts.
Plaintiff, however, relying upon dicta in
several recent Minnesota cases which re-
iterate an old rule,4 argues that a zoning
orciinance based primarily on aesthetic con-
siderations cannot reasonaUly be said to
promote the general welfare. Since the
cotmcil's concfusion that the ordinance
promotes the general wcifare is admittedly
the onty constitutional basis for enacting
it, plaintiff argues that it is unconstitu-
tionaL
[5] The ruic that zoning for solcly
aesthctic re�sons is invalid has bcen ex-

be substantially related to promoting Lhe
general welfare of the community to meet
the constitutional requirement of reason-
ableness.
(�.g] Whichever of these views is ac-

aesthetic ends should not invatidate an

The other primary objection to aesthetic to promoting t}ie general �velfare of the

courts, recognizing the role which plan-
ning and zoning play in municipal efforts
to guide future development of land so
as to insure a pleasanter and more econom-
ieal environment in which its residents
may live and work, have begun to uphol�l

[4,10] In this case, as part of a compte-
hensive Iand-use plan, the village decided
to exclude all commercial uses from resi-
dential districts. 5urely no one could dis-
pute that billboards are a commercial use .;
of land incompatible �vith achieving the
objec.tive of having, as nearly as possible, ,
an eaclusively residential area. Z'liere is
clear evidence in the record Yhat exclusive- -
ly residential zoning enhances property ;
va'ues, ultimately increasing the ta� Uase _
of the village. Numerous courts, including
this onc, have repeatedly sustained the ex-
clusion of commercial enterprises, no '
matter how scemin�ly inoffensive, from
residentiai districts as a valid exercise of '
the potice power. Obviously, aesthetics -�
play a significant part in residential zon-
ing. But such considerations of taste and '

there must have been a taking from plain-
tiff of some valuable property interest
K�ithout the payment of just compensation.
The billboards themselves have not been
taken. Plaintiff, as a lessee, tmder its
leases has every right to remove them. It
is shown, ho�vever, that it will cost over
�},000 to remove and relocate these bill-
boards, �vhich plaintif f is �villing to under-
take if the village wi11 companlesseel s.

negates--, the lessee is entitled to no com-

[18,19] Tcn of the leases in qucstion

to-month tenancies. The vah�e of such a
leascliold is limited to tlie rental value of
the premises for 30 days less the rerit pay-

to say that there has been such a taking oi
a valuable property interest from plaintifE
as to rendcr this apptication of the ordi-

VAI.2IAI�'CES FOR EXISTING NON-CONFORitiIING BILLBOARDS
r1r. Mattson handed out a status report �ahich was made up by the City on the
existing billboaxds and hota each sign meets or does not meet each code xequireznent
of the billboa.rd ordinance. �
Mr. Clark gave a sunnna.xy of why i:hsse xequests 4oi11 be coming before the
Commissi.ons. He said in September of 1969 the Planning Commission and the Council
adopted a Sign Ordinance. He �aid th9.s oxdinance requixes that all biJ.Zboards wi11
need a special. use permit gz'�.ted before Septembex 15, 1974 ox will hava to be
xemovecl. He sa.id thexe are appxo�i.mately 24 existir�g billboards in the City with
only four havi.ng had a special use permit gxanted. He said the J.ist that �vas
handed out shows the loca�ion ef the signs and hota most of them don`t meet at
least one Code xequir.ement and some don't meet i�ao or more. He said bafoxe we
start getting �he requests, �.t zv�s_ thought to tie a good idea to have a joint
meeting, toith the Gity Attorney present, to decide cahat the Commissians would
do and ��hat they can �o on the xequests. He said on the last page of the status
repoxt is a tax base repoxt on.foux of the billboards.
rixs. Wahlberg asked if there is a figure for the total tax derived from a11 of the
signs. r1x. Clark ans�vexed that this ��as not done but it «ould pxobably amount to
less than $50.00 .
Chaixman Fitzpatrick stated that this oxdi.nance taas pxesuma.bly looked into and
� studi.ed before it toas adopted and he asked r1r. Hcrxicic if it would hold up in
court �or xemovi.ng billboaxds that were constxucted befoxe the oxdinance was
adopted.
rir. Herxick stated that oux sign oxdinance is constitutional. He said it allawed
for a 5 year moxatorium for depreciation on e.Yisting signs so it is satisfactoxy
3.n this xegasd. Tlie Commission will ha.ve to decide as to whether i�s xeasonable
fox a special use pennit on a sign or before they ask that it be taken down. He
sai.d ttiey must take it on a fac� to fact basis. He said the Council will have to

j decide Cahether they are going to issue any special use pexmi.�s and they could say {
take them all doti�n or they could grant thc�n all. He said tahatevex action is talcen ,.
n
on the xequests should be consistant whethex it is ex�x'eme measures ox not. He ��
said if you allow some and deny some, you need guidelines and a cxiteria as to what .�
i.s needed for approving or denying. �Ie said as far as detexmining in advance �
�ahether the couxt wou�.d suppoxt the CiCy or not, thats hard to do. He said a form •,
should be made up showind factoxs you think would be impoxtant to make your
decision on. "�
t
Mr. Harris bxought up the point about the City's xesponsibility as far as a lease �
for the sign goes. He said as an example if a sign company leased the land their
sign is on for 10 years, and they have 5 years left on the lease, and the Commission �
decides the sign should be xemov ed. He asked,if the Attorney thought the City 6
taould be held responsiUle fox the balance of the�iease. P�ir. Herrick replied tha� i
in some cases no. He said the ordinance t�ras adopted 5 years ago after most �
property otaners and sign companies kn�a about it. He said even though tise m�.oht
diminis'n the value of the 1and, it would be diffi.cult to determine. He said we �
have given them 5 years to xecoup their invesi-ment. He said the question that ther.
comes up is is 5 years xeasonable.He said the court has decided that 3 years is
suffic.ient. He said he would suggest that the City get information on the leaser' f
and the cost of the sign �ahen it was built to add to the data they already h�ve > �
on the signs. �
�
Mx. Harxis asked if the Canunission could recommend to the Counci]. that the Special �
t
Use Pexmit, if approved, xun until the end af the lease. Mr. Herrick replied that �
could be done and that taas tahy he suggested looking into the length of the lease. �
He added they could also gxant the special use pex-�nit for a specific length of
ti.me, say 1 year, and xevietia thezn again after that tiune.
Mr. Drigans asked the Conanission to look at the d.e,ztial ex�reme. He said if the
• denial was done on a mass basis, would the City need a resolution passed. H� askeu
if that �,�ouxd be one way of Eovering not granting any special use permits.
Mr. Hexricic xeplied he tiaould think that that is what the City would Caar�t to do
if they_wanted a mass denial. He said if that was the result, the City would
have to look into the reasons for doing it. rir. Drigans said the Ordinance was �
dxacan up and somebody must haves�sobeforetoethet all�thelrequestastodeliminateuld i
be better to deny all the reque g
the considexati.on on an individual basis. He�said thaCs what we want to get
away from.
Chairman Fitzpatxick stated some of the criteria is moxe important than others. s
lie asked how many of the billboards don't meet the Code. Mr. C1ark ans�aered about �
90 percent of them don't meet the Code. Chai�nan Fitzpatricic said you have talke.d
about a form and getting information on each sign. He aslced if tae would have to
take applications fox special use permits if �ae Saere to decide to deny all of them.
Mr. Herricic stated ioe would have to accept the applications but you could
xecommend that no special use pexmits be granted. .
� Mr. Harris asked if the City were to deny all of one companies signs, would the
court find the City acting in a capricious manner. Mr. Herrick stated that was
a hard queseion to answer. He said Minnetonlca took that position (to deny them
all), and won in courC, but he couldn't say wliat would happen.now. Mr. Dxigans �
asked about the billUoards that have had leases negotiated within the last five�? �
yeaxs. He asked �ahat chance the City �oould have in court if we denied their �" �
xequest for a special use pexmit. Mr. �ierrick answered that the City would have
a good posiCion on �hese.

Minutes of the Joint Meeting of the�Planning Commission and the Board of ApPeals_
- Mr.Plemel asked about the City's billboards. Iie said isn't that putting us in a
bad position. Mr. Clark said some of those billboards liave agreements on them
and some have Council approval �oith just building pexmits. Mx. Herxick stated
that was another reason to check into each billboard permit as they have been�
erected under several different means.
Mr. Lindblad stated who; i.s governing �oho. He said why should a sign company be
able to tell the City what to do. He said if we are going to approve anything,
cohat cvill p;.-event anybody from coming in to get a billboard pexmit. Mr. Herrick
stated its a question of property o�aners xights. He said if the owner has a
bonified property interest, then the City has to prove it is in the interest of
the health, welfare and safety of the puhlic to remove them.
rir. Crowder stated the decisions have to be a blanket denial, give everyone a
special use permit, or go tlirouoh the requests individually. He said it sounds
like �ae should set quidelines for each action.
rir. Herrick stated the outcome that is accepted would not only affect the
existin� bilZboards but also would apply t� ne�, applications. He said the City
should come up with a form that will require all information about a sign.
Mr. Clark asked if ttioo pubZic hearings will have to be held for a billboard
needing both a special use pexmit and a variance. Mr. Herrick said there cou1�
be a joint meeting between the Planning Commission and Board �f Appeals and
hold one hearing. He said there could be the one adver�ising, one meeting and
have t��o separate votes; the Board of Appeals first for the variance, the Planning
Commission second on the special use permit. r1r. Clark said he �elt we were
weakenir.g our position by having two votes.• Mr. Crowdex said he felt it should
go to one board ox the other. � �
.v�"
Mr. Dri.gans said he felt the Commissian should list the advantages and disadvantages
of the actions open to them. He said cae should attack this on a systematic basis.
Chairman Fitzpatrick said lets look at the blanket denial and cahat the rationale
would be. The Commission came up with; 1. Uph�lding the Code as written and adopte�
2. Save administrative time for going ovex individual requests. 3. Save Council and�
Commission time. 4. Court costs on going just once ins�ead of several times. �
Mx. Lindblad asked if all 24 billboards have to have action taken on them before
September. Mr. Clark said there are 4 that may not have to as they had special
use permits granted before the 1969 Ordinance but they do not meet the criteria
fox billboards now. rSr. Herxick said he felt they should be lumped together with
the others.
rix. Herxicic said he had a da.scussion with a sign company about taking do�an three
signs because of road�voxk involvinj widening the street. He said compensation oF�
$1,000,00 apiece had to be paid out on the xemoval of the signs, and added that
might give the Commission an idea of cahat can happen.
Mr. Fztzpatrick said he didn't think the City �oould Ue going to court I8 times,
because of the court fa.ndings, ozie of the parties would learn. Mr. Cl�rk said
he felt the signs are individual in themselves and to state a b?anket request
would be �orong. Mr. Herrick said some communities have had a blanket denial but
that caould have to be the Commission's decision. He said if Council agrees with
the Commission, then a portion of the Ordinance would have to be deleted.

Mr. Linclblad felt the City should eliminate them all. �Iie said you cannot give
one si.gn appxoval �aithout the resL getCing approval also.
Mr. Harri.s asked the Commission to consider Sandee's b�.11board. He said if we c �_
denied this si�n, j�ould i.t be detrimental to his business. Mr. Herrick said
the o��ner would pxoUabl.y think so. Mr. Harris stated Sandee's was here before � j
the City so to speak, when things wexe difierent, but �ait-ho C—tir�.t sign, no one �--
�aould know whexe the place is at.
Mrs, tdahlberg asked why the City should be placed �n that position. She said
the City did not ask them to locate where they are so tahy is it the City`s
responsibility. She said there are a number of restaurants that do not have
billboards that are not on a main stxeet. Chairman Fitzpatrick said he felt
Sandee's sign does not dras� much business into the place that didn't kno�v where
it �aas located beforehand. rir. Lindblad asked if this sign was approved, and then
the place �aas sold, taould the new owner still xetain appxoval for the billboard.
Chairman Fitzpatricic said anyone couJ.d give reasons foz �aanting a billboard.
Mrs. Wahlberg said another item for considerat_on would be the environmental
impac�. � ..�'/'`l��
�-- �
Chairman Fitzpatrick asked the Commission to list the advant.ages and di �advantages�
for a blanket approval. Z'hey came up with; 1. Work load �vould be lighter and �
faster. 2. Add feto extra revenue dollars to the budget. 3. Leave avenues open for�
additi�nal billboards. 4. Failure to uphold Codes. 4. Reverse reasons for denial,
Mrs. Wahlberg asked if the time limit�of special use pexmits is standaxd. Mr.
Claxk said it vaxies depending on what tha special use permit is granted for.
Mr. Clark stated the rene�oal fee for billboards is due April'30, 1974 and
obviously the action on all. variances and special use permits cannot be made by
then.. rir. Herrick suggested that when the bill�ng foxms are sent out, attach a
��eminder for the special use permit approval and state in case of denial, the
fee paid will be prorated with the excess retuxned. He said he fel.t this
Commission sliould make their decisions and see if the Counci.l concurs. Ae said
the public hearings could be held and any action taken before the September date.
Chairman Fitzpatrick asked Mr. Hexrick what would be the easiest to defend the
City on; blanket deni:al and not issuing any special izse permits or selective
denial. rir. Herrick sai.d from a legal standpoint, there is a good___p_�s_sib�l-'ity
�.� ,Cainning on� blanket denial and if there are standards set up for sel.ective �
denial, he wouldn't be airaid of that either. Mr. Herrick said if there was �
to be a blanlcet denial, a change in the Ordinance should be made prior to ,
Septembex' stating all non-conforming signs must be xemoved by a certain date.
He said since�ae have already granted a 5 year moratoxium under the Oxdinance,
he felt the court would agree �oith a 6 month to 1 year time limit. He said this
time �aould a11ow them to recoup their investments ancl clean-up their affaixs.
He added the Commission should do theix hometio�rk and then present it to the
Council be�oxe the hearings are held.
Mr. Cx'o�adex asked if the sign company's coould fight the City if �ae gave them
6 months moxe. Mr. Clark answered that he thought they would because they want
their signs as that is theix business.
Mr. liaxris asked ii the buyezs of advextising space could hold the City
responsible. Mr. Herrick stated he doubted it as he was sure the companies
have severence clauses.

Mr. Plemel asked about the grandfather clause and why it doesn't apply here.
Mx. Herricic stated it has applied here for the 1'asr 5 years but after September,
it wi11 cease and then they need special use permiL-s.
Mr. Cxow�er said_the Commission has been assuming the sign companies �a�ii not
conform to the billboard requirements, Iie said maybe they will. Mr. Mattson
said some restrictions could be complied with and some couldn`t be as tar as
setbacks are concerned.
Mrs. Wahlberg asked if it was possible to prohibit signs on a specific roadway.
Mr. Iierrick said he thought it could if you could show accident statistics or
s�mething unique about it to qualify �ienying. He said the Commission would need
basis and fact and a qualified person in engineering or traffic study should do
the study.
Mrs. jJahlbexg stated she had been told that the book "Street Graph.ics" has
information in it giving statistics about signs and she felt the City should
obtain a copy which might be of help on the uillboards and especially helpful
to the Board of Appeals on the vaxiance xequests. .
rir. Drigans asked if this body should meet again a€ter information is acquired
and the f�rm made up. Mr. C1ark suggested each board going over the in�ormation
when it is available and then calling a special meeting if i.t is decided it is
necessary.
rlr. Herrick stated that on the �ahole,� it might be be�ter to consider thP requests
one at a�.i.me, and then try to adopt a consistant pattern of acCion.
Mr. Drigans stated the book "Street Gxaphics" might slzow that our Sign Ordinance
is outdated in relation to its findings. He said at the Board of Appeals meeting
it was brought up that the Code says nothi.ng about the number of traffic directiona�.
sigr. all.owed. Chairman Fitzpatxicic said if the people on the Gommissions feel the
Ordinance or parts of the Ordinance are outdated and should be looked at again, it
should be done• �
Mr. Clark said the City staff will research and get the informa�ion on.each
billboard including iease, type of pexmit, etc., and also draw up the farm and
get this report bacic to the members in possibly two weeks, He said after th ey
get this infoxma�ion the Commission can makeup their format and present it to

March 14, �9%4
FACTS The City of Fridley�p�ssed a billboard ordin�nce, based
prim�rily on aesthetical considerations th�t a(lowed a(f signs
� and billboards wl�ich were nonconforming under the ordinance to
exist for a period of -Five years �s nonconforming uses. At the
end of five �ears, the own�rs of the nonconformin� billboards
and si�ns must either remove them or obtain a special use permit.
I SSL1E !Jhat �.rou ( d be the t ega I� consequences of the C i ty's
failure to grant a special use permit for the continuance o� a
nonconforming use under the billboard ordinance`?

Nowever, the justification for either prohibition or

In this reg�rd it fias been held that if the billboard restriction
i��easonably related to promoting the general welfare of the
community or any other legitimate police power objective, the
fact that aesthetic�considerations were significant factors in
moiivating its adoption wili not render it unconstitutional.

police power cannot be successfully attacked on constitution��l

N�eqele, it was h�ld that an ordinance �,rhich prohibited billboards
an� signs errected for advertising purposes within areas zoned
exclusively for residential use, and requirec� their removal
within three years of its effective date was not so arbitary,
unreasonable, or unrela�ed to the general welfare of the community
as to be unconstitutional by its terms.

�qW As a useful rule, it has long been stated that a city
must act reasonably, otherwise, its ordinance could not have the
effect of overcoming the property rights of others. Arcadia

be cafculated to effect its (egitmate purposes and goals without
going beyond the demands of the occassion. Id.
Traditionally, it has been held that whi(e an ordinance
enacted under the police power may constitutionally prohibit the
creation of new conforming uses, existing nonconforming uses either
must be permitted to remain or must be eliminatecl by the use of
the power of eminent domain. Naegele Outdoor Advertising Co. v.

Page Three (3)
Minnetonl<�, supra. In recent years a number of municipalities
have sought to eliminate pre -existing nanconfarming uses by
�eans of so called amortization provisions, in which the
nonconforming user is given � grace period during which he is
entitled to continue the use and �mor�ize his investment. Id.;
Annotation, 22 �IR 3� I135 (1953). The theary behind this legislative
device is that the usefu( life of the nonconfarming use corresponds
roughly to the �mortiz��ion period, so that the owner is not
deprived of his property un�il the end of its useful life.
Naege ! e Ou ccloor ��dv. Co r v. V i I I age of P��1 i nnetonl;a, supra. I n
addition, �:he monopoly position granted dur�ng the amortization
period theoretically provides the owner wiih compensation for
the loss of-' some property interests, since t;he periods specified
rarely corresponds precisely to the useful li�fe of any particular
structure constituting the nonconfor�..ing use. Id.
The under(ying issue, therefore, in de�ermining the
constitutionality of the application oi' such an ordinance to the
property interests o7`� every billboard owner is, essentially,
ti,rhether the amort i zai i on per i od prov i c�eci by the statute i s
reasonable. ld. In P!aegele it was held that if the value of
plaintiffs property interest was extinguished before the running
of the amortization period, there,��ould be no taking, or if the
va I ue of the freedorn -rrom net� compe�t i t i on for the siatutory
period equalled t}�e value of tne property interest remaining at
the end of the period, �;here would be just compensation for the
tal:ing. /1 three year amortiz�tion oeriod was held reasonable

The burden is on the property owner to establish that the
ordinance, as applied to him, is unconstitutional on the general
ground that it has taken him a valuable property interest without

e

Page Four (4)
the payment of just compensation. Naege{e Outdoor Adv. Co. v,
Village of h9innetonka, supra., and depends u timately upon the
facts of that c�se. Id.
In determining whether tf�ere has been a pu�lic taking
of private proper�ty interests under a billbo�rd ordinance, the
courts general{y 1oof: to the following factors:
A. Pro�erty i nterests i►i f.he b i( I bo��rds
In Grant v. �3altir�iore, supra, the court noted that
billboarcls are generally depreciated aver a five ye�r period.
Therefore, the court concluded tliat where the �mortization period
is five years, a company ��hich relies on the premise t1��t th� usefui
liie of its billboards is five years, is handicapped seriousl� in
arguing that the b�nning o-i� further use oi= those billboards has done i�
a constitutiona! t,�rong - has taken from it substantial property without
compensation.
1n this regard, it has been argued that the plaintiff is
entitled to compens��ion for the costs of removing the billboards
after the amortization perioc;. In Naegele, it e,ras held that unless
the biilboards have becor<ie a part of the•reafty so th�t title
to them would �ass at the end of the lease to the lessor, the
lessee is entitled to no campensation for the cost of their
removal. The couri conciuc�ed tl�at the bilfboards in Naegele
had not become a part oi' -tf�e rea I ty.
6. Propert� in�erests in the fessee
Generally, biilboard ot��ners are lessees r�ther than fee
owners of the f rand upon ��rh i ch tlie �� i I I boarc�s are erected. ( n
the case of ta4: i ng oi' a 1 e�se ho I d �� or pub { i c use, compensat i on •
by paynent of the fair m�rket va{ue is rec�uired. Naec�ele Out�oor
Adv. Co. v. V i I 1 ac�e of i:9i nneton!<<-�, supra. Th i s �rnount i s the
fair rental value of the premises less the amount of the rent
• for the remainder o-F the term. fd.
1n Naec�e{e, the plaintiff failed to adduce any evidence
of tl�e value of its oral and ��ritten leases at the end of the
statutory amortization period. The court therefore concluded
that it would be impossible to say that there had been a taking
of a valuable property interest from the plaintiff so as to
render the application of the billboard ordinance unconstitutional.
However, if evidence were presented of the leases value at.the
end of the amorti�ation period, the court would p•robably require
compensation, or else would render the ordinance unconstitutional
as applied to that particular billboard ownen.
Page Five (5) , ,
(n Nae�ele, it was also held that if a lease Uy its
terms automatically terminates upon condemn�tion of the I�nd, the
leasee is entitled to no compens�tion for the loss of his lease
hold interest. However, the cour� also noted that if the sole
power of termination upon condemnaiion is in the lands of the
lessee, he woufd not E�e prectuded from receiving compensation
if it had been estabiished that a taking had occurred. For
a contrary view, see Grant v. Baltimore, supra.
C. Propert� i nterest i n tl�e cond�.ict of a I a��fu I bus iness
. ! n P�lae�f e, t��e court i nd i ca�;ed that � k� i I I bo�rd o��ner
may have a compensable property right to continue in the
conduct of a(awful uusiness at the billboard locations.
_ Ho�,rever, the court conctuded that since no evidence was intr.odueed
as to the value, if any, of such a right, there is no support for
plaintiff's claim.

small percentage of the plain�if�F� tota) signs in the city
and could be e��sily moved to new locations wfiere they could earn
revenue for th�i� owner. Tl�is factor in•addition to the langth
of the amortization period would certainly reduce the value of
any property right to conduct a husiness at the locations in
the present case.

SuP�1h9ARY ln the present case, the municirality cieariy has �he
power to regulate and prohibit billboards and signs, and the ordinance
is constitutional if reasonably rela�ed to the health, safety,
and t,relfare of the community even though it was based primarily
on aesthetical consideration.
h�loreover, a five year, and i'or that matter, a three year
�mortization period li�s Ueen held reasonab{e and the ordinance,
as applied to all billboard owners in genera(, is constitutional
since any valu�ble property rights �re lil:ely to be amortized

CITY OF FRIDLEY
MEMORANDUM
T0: NASIM M. QURESHI, CITY MANAGER
FRO."1: MARVIN C, BRUNSELL, ASST, CITY MGR./FI:�, �IR.
SUBJECT: STATUS OF.POLICE PENSION FUNDING
DATE: APRIL 25, 1975
Attached is a scr�dul� of Police funding prepared in accordance with the
Guidelines Act. The schedule assumes that the force wiil stay at the present
strength of twenty-eight Officers, exclusive of the Public Safety Director,
and it assumes that raises will be at the rate of 32% per year. It also
assum�s that interest earnings will be 5% per year.
1975 salaries have not been settled, therefore, the salaries shoNm for the
year ]975 are assumed to be 312% greater than 1974. The total legal obligation
of the City for 1975 is $98,569. For 1975, the City is providing funding in
the amount of $110,740, including the amount that will be received from the
State of �linnesota as a rebate on automobile insurance policies. This amount
��ri 11 be turned over to the PoTi ce Pensi on /�ssoci ati on ,
This means that the City af Fridley is meeting or exceeding the requirements
of the �aw at the nresent time� The actuarial report prepared by Hewitt
Associates for the period ending December 31, 1974 s{�ows a deficit or unfunded
liability in the amount of $621,835. This figure is th� starting point and
the basis for all of the projections sho�vn on the projections of required tax
levies.
I want to point out that Hewitt would like to take his report back and review
i t i nasmuch as they are not enti rely sure that they treated the two ret� red
Police Officers correctly in preparing the report. The report was prepared on
the basis of thei°e being twenty-eight full time active Police Officers and two
retired Officers,
The deficit of $621,835 is not too alarming compared with the deficit that has
been shown in prior years. However, this figure can be a little misleading
because of the fact that under the law, it says actuaries must use an assumed
salary increase of 3'-Z/ per year. This is the salary increase that we have used
, in projecting required tax levies, as this is also required by the law, If for
exampTe, an assumed saiary increase of b�, were used rather than 32%, the unfunded
liability would be �1,545,258 as of December 31, 1974, rather than $621,835
according to Hewitt Associates. By way of comparisons, salary costs in the four
years from ]970 through 1974 for sworn Police Officers, have actually increased
by 50% or an averaqe of 12-'2% a year. This includes additions to the force as
well as salary increases. Base salaries for °atrolmen have increased 26% for
the four year period.

One of the big changes that have occurred in projecting tax requirements, is
that a few years ago when the City was using Stennes as the actuary, that firm
predicted that it would cost 51.6% of salary to fund the plan. There have been
some minor changes in the law which dictates how the actuarial report must be
nrepared. Hewitt Associates now say that it costs 25.198% of salary to fund
the plan. This is, of course, a substantial difference. Again, I want to
caution that the assumed salary increase of 3'-2% is not reasonable when compared
with past history.
