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: July 7, 2008 Re: Placement of the Lino Lakes Lions Message Board at Lake Drive and Town Center Parkway During the June, 2008 City Council work session, staff was directed to continue to work with the Lino Lakes Lions Club (LLLC) on the matter of placement of an illuminated message board. The LLLC has identified the intersection of Lake Drive and Town Center Drive (southeast quadrant) as the preferred site. Staff has identified the necessary steps to accommodate the proposed location: ❖ Letter of support from Mr. and Mrs. Moser - The LLLC has indicated that the Moser's are amenable with the proposed project and will have the Moser's submit a letter to the City stating this. • Anoka County Review - Proposed location falls within the safety sight triangle warranting Anoka County review. Anoka County does not have any major objections to the proposed location. City will need to apply for Right -Of -Way license when property conveyed to Anoka County (right -of -way acquisition with CSAH 23 Improvement Project). ❖ Rezone Property - Requires Planning and Zoning (including Public Hearing) approval and City Council approval (2 readings). Effective 30 days after publication. If PUD, need to also amend Town Center Guidelines to allow reader board signs (currently prohibited) and to allow another free standing sign on City Hall property (one allowed on City Hall property and one already exists). May also consider rezoning to PSP. ❖ Amend Sign Ordinance - Need to allow off - premises advertising (explained in more detail below). Also need to increase maximum dynamic display signs to 25 square feet. • Formulate policy related to acceptable content of messages. ❖ City Council and LLLC agree on financial arrangement.
