Lino Lakes Public Services Department 600 Town Center Parkway Lino Lakes, MN 55014 (651) 982 -2440 Fax (651) 982 -2439 Memorandum To: Mayor Bergeson and City Council Members From: Rick DeGardner, Public Services Director Date: May 28, 2008 Re: Lino Lakes Lions Message Board Update Staff has evaluated seven locations for potential placement of the message board. Each of the first six locations has significant issues related to the placement of a message board. I have identified the major concerns below. In addition, the first six locations are along Lake Drive and may pose safety issues with vehicle speeds up to 50 mph. Only the last option is located along a 30 mph road. SW quadrant of Lake Drive and Elm Street • Residential zoning prohibits illuminated message boards • Sign Ordinance prohibits message board from facing residential homes • Require JPA with Centennial School District (property owner) Centennial Fire District Station • Presence of emergency vehicles exiting station may create safety concerns • Due to lack of left turn lanes to accommodate commercial businesses (Child Care, Insurance, Pizza, Income Tax, Chiropractor) adjacent to Fire District Station as well as residential homes across the street, potential of rear end collisions may increase with diverting drivers' attention away from the roadway SE quadrant of Lake Drive and Town Center Parkway • Residential zoning prohibits illuminated message boards • Need to rezone to PUD • In conflict with safety sight triangle. Need review and comment from Anoka County • May face significant resident opposition • Need to amend Town Center Design Standards to allow this type of sign • May conflict with future signage when Legacy is fully developed Lino Park • Rural zoning prohibits illuminated message boards • Sign Ordinance prohibits message board from facing residential homes • Would require placement at least 20 feet from western edge of parking lot
