BACKGROUND
The applicant has submitted a Land Use Application for Final Plat for Talan Ridge. This
is a three (3) lot residential subdivision located at 260 Linda Avenue and is legally
described as the east 290.00 feet of Lots 3 and 4, Block 2 Arthur E. Thom Acres.
The following staff report is based on the revised plan set dated June 9, 2014 prepared by
Mattke Surveying & Engineering, Inc. and received by the City on June 12, 2014.
In April 2014, the City Council approved the following:
• Ordinance No. 05-14, Rezoning from R, Rural to R-1, Single Family
• Resolution No. 14-34, Preliminary Plat
1
ANALYSIS
Revised Preliminary Plat
The preliminary plat has been slightly modified to reflect an increased lot width on Lot 1
and a reduced lot width on Lot 2. The developer intends to remove the existing detached
garage on Lot 2 and construct an attached garage. This will allow for more tree
preservation along the west property line of Lot 1 and an improved attached garage
structure on Lot 2.
The wetland boundary has also been delineated and approved by Rice Creek Watershed
District. The upland area of Lot 3 is 14,605 s.f. and exceeds zoning requirements for lot
size and width.

Storm Water Management and Erosion and Sediment Control
The Grading, Drainage and Erosion Control Plan has been reviewed by the City
Engineer. A stormwater treatment pond will be constructed in the rear yard of Lot 2 to
manage storm water drainage from the entire site. The pond has been oversized by the
developer by 1,100 cubic feet to provide fill material for the proposed building pad sites.
This is common practice for residential development to balance site materials. The large
drainage swale and drainage and utility easement along the west side yard of Lot 1 are
not needed and shall be removed from the plan.
RCWD has indicated a permit is not required if the project does not exceed the permit
threshold for stormwater of 10,000 sf. The RCWD erosion control rule requires a notice
of intent for 5,000 s.f. of disturbance or stockpile of 50 cubic yards or a permit at 10,000
s.f. of disturbance.
Appropriate soil erosion and sediment controls shall be employed during construction of
the single family homes.
Utilities

sanitary sewer. All three (3) lots will be connected to public water and sanitary which is
capable of handling 3 single family homes. The existing well shall be properly capped
and abandoned or disconnected from the house if used for irrigation purposes prior to the
issuance of any building permit.
Public Land Dedication
The City will require payment in lieu of land dedication for purposes of public land
dedication. Since this is an existing lot with 1 home, fees will be required for the two (2)
newly created lots.
2 lots x $2,500 payment in lieu = TOTAL $5,000

Re: Final Plat Talan Ridge Environmental Comments
Environmental
I have the following comments concerning the Final Plat for Talan Ridge:
1. Trees removed in the Pond area must be mitigated.
2. Tree protection plans must be implemented at the time of grading. Tree protection plan
must be approved by the City of Lino Lakes
3. If additional tree loss outside of the basic use areas occurs due to drainage implementation,
than these trees will have to be mitigated as well.
4. All mitigation tree species must be approved by the City of Lino Lakes

PLANNING & ZONING BOARD
AGENDA ITEM 5B
STAFF ORIGINATOR: Michael Grochala
P & Z MEETING DATE: July 9, 2014
REQUEST: Public Hearing. Amendment to Section 1010 of City
Code Regulating Signs
APPLICANT: City of Lino Lakes
REVIEW DEADLINE: Not Applicable — City Initiated
BACKGROUND
Following a City Council request to review the City's temporary sign regulations, the
Planning and Zoning Board held a public forum to solicit comments from area businesses
and institutional uses. Staff also completed a survey of sign regulations for surrounding
communities. Nine (9) individuals brought forth suggestions regarding signage needs. In
general the respondents requested more flexibility in the annual day allowance, location
and duration of temporary sign permits. The board discussed several options in February
of 2013 however staff did not make any final recommendations.
In September of 2013 the City Council was approached by the pastor of Gethsemane
Church requesting additional signage and expressing concern over the limited flexibility
for multiple temporary signs on a property. The council directed staff to bring the issue
back to the Planning and Zoning board for further discussion.
The Board reviewed and discussed several proposed changes at its October 9, 2013
meeting. Comments were forwarded to the City Council and discussed at the November
4, 2013 Council work session. A public hearing was held on May 14, 2014 Planning and
Zoning Board meeting. Additional public comment was received including discussion on
the display of flags. The hearing was continued and additional discussion was held by
the board on June 11, 2014.
ANALYSIS
Based on review and discussion of the sign amendment reviewed at the June 11, 2014
meeting staff has incorporated the following changes:
1. Section 1010.006. Dynamic Display Sign Regulations, subpart 3 was changed by
striking the phrase "except signs solely displaying the time and/or temperature or
similar"...
2. Section 1010.007 General Regulations Applicable to All Districts, subpart 13,
Flags, was changed to accept the alternative language "Flags symbolizing a
government or political subdivision, or a branch or department of a government or
political subdivision, US military service, or veterans organizations chartered by
Congress are not regulated by this chapter."
3. Section 1010.007, subpart 15 was added to allow for a single temporary off -
premise signs to be placed on a property provided that the sign is no greater than 3
square feet in area, is displayed between 6:00 a.m. Thursday and 6:00 a.m. on the
following Monday. No permit is required for this sign.
This provision replaces the proposal to allow one 24 square foot off premise sign
on properties as part of 90 day temporary sign allowance.
Changes to the Sign Ordinance text is shown by either strike out or underline. Text
shown with a strike out is proposed to be deleted. Underlined text is new.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff is requesting public comment and discussion on the proposed changes. Staff is
recommending approval of the proposed sign ordinance amendment

Chapter 1010 Signs
Summary of Changes:
July 2014
General: The Sign Code section has been modified to improve organization. Two new sections have been
created from the existing code; Non -Conforming Signs and Prohibited Signs.
1010.001 Purpose, Intent and Findings
Subpart (1)(g) was amended to include temporary commercial speech and off -premise signs for special events.
Subpart (2)(h) included the addition of the word "speech".
1010.02 Definitions
The term Advertising Sign was changed to Off -Premise sign.
A definition for Facade was added.
The definition for Portable Sign was amended.
The definition for Sign Area was amended.
The definition for Temporary Signs was amended.
1010.003 Administration and Enforcement.
The terms temporary and permanent was added to sign.
Permit fee requirement was placed in a new subpart. The double permit fee penalty was moved from Section
1010.009 and placed in this subpart.
1010.004 Non -Conforming Signs
This section previously covered Dynamic Signs which are now covered in section 1010.006. Non -Conforming
Sign requirements were previously included in Section 1010.006 General Regulations. No language was
changed.
1010.005 Prohibited Signs.
This section previously covered Zoning District Regulations which are now covered in section 1010.008.
Prohibited Signs were previously enumerated in section 1010.006 General Regulations and intermixed with
other provisions.
The only material change was the addition of subpart (7) Signs placed on vehicles or trailers which are parked or
placed for the primary purpose of displaying the sign, exempt for lettering on buses, taxis, or vehicles operating
during the normal course of business except as otherwise permitted in 1010.011.
1
1010. 006. Dynamic Display Sign Regulations.
This section previously covered General Regulations which are now included in section 1010.007. Dynamic
display regulations were previously located in section 1010.004.
The only changes recommended for this section are:
1 Removing the exception of time and temperature displays; and
2 The inclusion of location and size provisions currently contained within the general regulations section.
The current requirements prohibit dynamic signs in all zoning districts except those that those that are
less than 20 square feet in size.
Staff is recommending that this be amended to read as follows:
(4) In all districts no more than 20 square feet of the allowable sign area provided for in section 1010.011
may be used for dynamic display signs, except that in Rural, Residential and Rural -Business Reserve zoning
districts dynamic display signs shall only be allowed for non-residential uses.
The intent here is to clarify that the 20 square feet is not in addition to but included in the total sign area
allowed. Additionally, the amended language would eliminate the potential for placement on a residential
property.
1010.007 General Regulations Applicable to All Districts
This section previously covered the Substitution Clause which is now contained within section 1010.009.
General Regulations were previously located in section 1010.006.
General changes include:
• Prohibited signs previously listed under this section have been moved to section 1010.005.
• Sign construction requirements were amended to conform to the state building code rather than the
uniform sign code which is no longer in effect.
• The requirements for illuminated signs were changed to allow them in all zoning districts. The source of
lighting must be controlled to not shine on or light adjacent property or right-of-way. Signs not
internally lit must have fixtures and sources screened from view.
• The temporary signs requirements were amended to include the following provisions:
o One sign per property except one per business for multi -occupancy structures with no more
than 3 displayed at a time.
0 90 days per year. Multi occupancy properties shall be one 90 day period per business. Cannot
be displayed by more than 30 days.
o Signs require a permit. Includes a deposit provision to insure removal of sign.
o Permit signed by property owner/manager.
o Maximum height of 10 feet.
o No illumination allowed.
o Not allowed in public right-of-way.
• Multiple Occupancy building requirements were amended to provide for signs on each building fagade.
2
• Non -conforming sign requirements were moved to section 1010.004
• Dynamic display requirements were moved to section 1010.006
• The provisions for the display of flags were changed as follows:
o Government flags are not governed by this chapter.
o Non -government flags continue to be limited to one per property.
• The section includes a new provision that specifies the applicable sign standards for Planned Unit
Developments.
• Off -premise signs are allowed on a temporary basis subject provided they are no greater than 3 square
feet in area and the display is limited between 6 am on Thursday to 6 am on the following Monday. No
permit would be required for these signs.
1010.008 Zoning District Regulations
This section previously contained Severability which is now located in section 1010.010.
The only changes proposed are renumbering of the applicable section references.
1010.009 Substitution Clause
This section was previously Tables of Regulations for Zoning Districts which is now contained in section
1010.011. The substitution clause was previously contained in section 1010.007. No changes were made.
1010.010 Severability
Severability was previously contained in section 1010.008. No changes were made.
1010.011 Tables of Regulations for Zoning Districts
The section previously located in section 1010.009 contains the specific sign requirements for all zoning districts.
Changes include:
• Temporary Sign Table was amended to include:
0 90 day allowance for temporary sign display

o Sandwich boards are allowed annually displayed within 10 feet of door
• Permanent Signs — Rural and Residential

§ 1010.001 PURPOSE, INTENT AND FINDINGS.
(1) Purpose and intent. It is not the purpose or intent of this sign chapter to regulate the
message displayed on any sign; nor is it the purpose or intent to regulate any building design or
any display not defined as a sign, or any sign which cannot be viewed from outside a building.
Rather, the purpose and findings of the sign chapter are as follows. The sign chapter is intended
to establish a comprehensive and balanced system of sign control that accommodates the need
for a well -maintained, safe and attractive community, and the need for effective communications
including business identification. It is the intent of this chapter to promote the health, safety,
general welfare, aesthetics and image of the community by regulating signs that are intended to
communicate to the public, and to use signs which meet the city's goals by authorizing:
(a) Permanent signs which establish a high standard of aesthetics;
(b) Signs which are compatible with their surroundings;
(c) Signs which are designed, constructed, installed and maintained in a manner that
does not adversely impact public safety or unduly distract motorists;
(d) Signs which are large enough to convey the intended message and to help citizens
find their way to intended destinations;
(e) Signs that are proportioned to the scale of, and are architecturally compatible
with, principal structures;
(f) Permanent signs which give preference to the on -premise owner or occupant; and
(g) Temporary commercial speech signs and off -premise signs eAi4n - displ ys
which provide an opportunity for special eventsgr-and openings and oeeasional sales events
while restricting signs which create continuous visual clutter and hazards at public right-of-
way intersections.
(2) Findings. The City of Lino Lakes finds it is necessary for the promotion and preservation
of the public health, safety, welfare and aesthetics of the community that the construction,
location, size and maintenance of signs be controlled. Further, the city finds:
(a) Permanent and temporary signs have a direct impact on and relationship to the
image of the community;
(b) The manner of installation, location and maintenance of signs affects the public
health, safety, welfare and aesthetics of the community;
(c) An opportunity for viable identification of community businesses and institutions
must be established;
(d) The safety of motorists, cyclists, pedestrians and other users of public streets and
property is affected by the number, size, location and appearance of signs that unduly divert
the attention of drivers;
(e) Installation of signs suspended from, projecting over or placed on the tops of
buildings, walks or other structures may constitute a hazard during periods of high winds and
an obstacle to effective firefighting and other emergency service;
(f) Uncontrolled and unlimited signs adversely impact the image and aesthetic
attractiveness of the community and thereby undermine economic value and growth;
(g) Uncontrolled and unlimited signs, particularly temporary signs which are
commonly located within or adjacent to public right-of-way or are located at driveway/street
intersections, result in roadside clutter and obstruction of views of oncoming traffic. This
creates a hazard to drivers and pedestrians and also adversely impacts a logical flow of
information;
(h) Commercial speech signs are generally incompatible with residential uses and
should be strictly limited in residential zoning districts;
2
(i) The right to express noncommercial opinions in any zoning district must be
protected, subject to reasonable restrictions on size, height, location and number; and
0) Light pollution creates negative impacts on the community, particularly in
residential and rural areas.

§ 1010.006 GENERAL REGULATIONSDYNAMIC DISPLAY SIGN REGULATIONS.
(1) Studies show that there is a correlation between dynamic displays on signs and the
distraction of highway drivers. Distraction can lead to traffic accidents. Drivers can be distracted
not only by a changing message, but also by knowing that the sign has a changing message.
Drivers may watch a sign waiting for the next change to occur. Drivers are also distracted by
messages that do not tell the full story in one look. People have a natural desire to see the end of
the story and will continue to look at the sign in order to wait for the end. Additionally, drivers
are more distracted by special effects used to change the message, such as fade-ins and fade-outs.
Finally, drivers are generally more distracted by messages that are too small to be clearly seen or
that contain more than a simple message. Time and temperature signs appear to be an exception
to these concerns because the messages are short, easily absorbed and become inaccurate without
frequent changes.
(2) In addition to safety concerns, light pollution creates negative impacts, particularly in
rural areas and residential neighborhoods of the community. The city has adopted regulations of
exterior lighting intended to reduce light pollution. Dynamic displays are by nature very bright
and often are installed on highway signs, many of which are in rural and residential areas in Lino
Lakes.
fILIn conclusion, the city finds that any sign containing, in whole or in part, a dynamic
display, exeept signs solely displaying the time an&ef tempefattfFe of simil , should not be
allowed in any district except as otherwise set forth in this chapter.
(4) Dynamic displa. signs, ig s, , are pfohibited in all zening
dist-Fiets exeept those with a dynafnie display area tha4 is less than 20 ,In all
districts .no more than 20 square feet of the allowable sign area provided for in section
1010.011 may be used for dynamic display signs, except that in Rural, Residential and Rural -
Business Reserve zoning districts dynamic display signs shall only be allowed for non-
residential uses.
