28 didn' t have many options . The City Manager explained that
29, the ordinance states any time a building is moved, a public
30 hearing must take place and in this case an existing. garage
31 is being moved forward, so the applicant must apply for a
32 public hearing.

44 has a gravel driveway and in the spring many complaints are

6 concerns the Commission had regarding .his request . He
7 distributed a letter from Ernst Machinery and House Movers
8 Corporation. Mr. Ken Ernst of Ernst Machinery had been to
9 Mr. Barton' s property twice for the purpose of estimating
10 costs and feasibility of moving the garage . Mr. Ernst sees
11 no problem in structural soundness or moving the garage .
12 Mr. Barton indicated the plan conforms to all setback
13 ordinances and codes and he is well aware of the eave
14 restriction.
15
16 Mr. Barton explained that his plan would be a major
17 improvement to his property and he has the support of the
18 neighbors to the south. He referred to the letter which he
19 had from the neighbors speaking of their being in favor of
20 the project and Mr. Barton' s efforts in cleaning up and
21 improving his property.
22
23 Mr. Don Dick, 3511 Harding Street, appeared before the
Commission. He is Mr. Barton' s neighbor to the north and is
not in favor of Mr. Barton' s relocation of his garage
26 because of the infringement on his property.
27
28 Mr. Dick addressed his concerns about the hardship of
29 maintaining his fence if his garage is three feet away and
30 the safety issue if Mr. Barton' s garage were to catch on
31 fire. The City Manager indicated that the law stated three
32 feet from the property line was appropriate . Mr. Dick asked
33 if he had any recourse. Chair Faust told Mr. Dick that
34 there were many garages within three feet of the property
35 within the Village.

4u g a g
19 October there has been no contact from Mr. Cadwallader.
20

24 removed from the agenda. It was also suggested that the
25 mounting for the sign be taken down. •
26

30
31 Commissioner Makowske did communicate with Mr. Cadwallader
32 before the November meeting and he felt Mr. Cadwallader
33 would not come before the Commission until he had an

6 Assistant Bellefuil indicated to the Commission that the
7 City does not have an ordinance addressing outside storage
8 and sales . She is proposing that the Planning Commission
9 recommend that staff research and develop an outside storage
10 and sales ordinance. The ordinance would require a special
11 use permit by businesses if they wish to store or sell items
12 outside of their building.
13
14 Chair Faust felt there should be two separate ordinances
15 made one to address outside sales and one for outside
16 storage.
17
18 C. Slide Presentation of Permanent Ground Signs.
19
20 Assistant Bellefuil presented a slide show of various ground
21 signs in St . Anthony. She reviewed with the Commission that
22 grounds signs should. not be visible underneath and should
23 only be a maximum of five feet high and if only one side is
showing, that should only be a maximum of 20 square feet and
4K if two sides are showing, that should only be a maximum of
26 32 square feet . There is also an additional landscape
27 provision where a sign can have up to an extra three feet in
28 height or an extra 12 square feet of sign surface area.
29 Each building is allowed to have one ground sign and one
30 wall sign.
31
32 Only five of the nineteen surveyed signs were in accordance
33 with the sign ordinance . Conforming signs included Village
34 Townhomes, William Adams, Advanced Web Tech, St . Charles,
35 and Goodyear. Nonconforming signs included the High School,
36 Middle School, Medtronics, Leslie Paper, Anthony Place,
37 Winston Co. , Building- Fasteners, Autumn Woods, Lowry Grove,
38 St . Anthony Court, Pizza Hut, Hardees, Bakers Square, and
39 TCF.
40
41 The Commission discussed the possibility of having
42 categories to define the sign sizes such as commercial and
43 industrial businesses versus residential and elimination of
44 the bonus and make landscaping a requirement to the sign.
The City Manager indicated he would like to have a clear,
41 easy to understand ordinance that can easily be interpreted.

6 the allowable size of the sign to have a maximum height; and
7 to work something out with landscaping. In addition, the

• STAFF REPORT
DATE: February 3, 1994
TO: Tom Burt, City Manager
FROM: Sarah Bellefuil, Management Assistant
SUBJECT: PETITION FOR SIGN VARIANCE, RUSSELL R. FREED, PROPERTY
MANAGER, REPRESENTING R.J. JOHNSON COMPANY, 3055 OLD
HIGHWAY 8 (MEDTRONICS BUILDING).
BACKGROUND:
The applicant is requesting a variance for one sign.
The sign is already in place on the west side of the building. The sign has a total height of 5
feet. The dimensions of the sign surface is 3' x 5'4"; making a total sign surface area of 32
square feet (double-sided). The applicant stated that the sign is a directional sign. The City
ordinance states that directional signs may only have a total surface area of 5 square feet. The
applicant is applying for the variance because the sign exceeds the maximum allowable sign
• surface area.
By definition of the City ordinance the sign in question is not a directional sign or a ground sign.
This determination has been made due to the size and location of the sign. It is not a directional
sign because it does not indicate ingress and egress locations, which is the usual purpose of a
directional sign. The major purpose is as an informational sign. It is actually more like a
ground sign but does not fit that requirement either because it does not have a solid base. The
building already has one large ground sign to the.south of the building.
To grant the variance the question of hardship must be met. Hardship could be argued because
the building is on a triangular lot. Therefore, the large sign south of the building can be seen
from Hwy. 88 and Old Hwy. 8 when driving north but cannot be seen when driving south along
Old Hwy 8. The applicant states that delivery personal are often not able to identify businesses
within the building when approaching it. The size of the lot and the size and shape of the
structure decrease the impact of the single sign to the south.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that due to the size of the lot, size of the structure, and double frontage of the
location in question, that a variance be granted for the ground sign to the west of the building,
and that the base be enclosed for the sign to be in compliance.

Mr. Larry Hamer

3301 Silver Lake Road
St. Anthony, MN 55418
Re: 3055 Old Hwy 8
Dear Mr. Hamer.
We are hereby submitting the enclosed Petition for Sign Variance plus fee of$100 for the above referenced
property. We are applying for this variance because the directional signage in question exceeds 5 square feet as
stated in city ordinances. Also enclosed, please find a site plan showing the location of the directional sign and
the previously existing sign monument
As you know Larry, the sign has already been installed. Under no circumstances would I have authorized our
contractor to install the sign had I been aware of the 5 square feet limitation placed on directional signage. I
assumed our contractor had either researched city ordinances, or already knew what would be allowed
This sign was installed for the primary tenant in the building, StrategiCare, Inc. They operate several businesses
with different names and were not receiving deliveries to the building because truck drivers, etc. were often
driving right past the building when they didn't see the specific name as listed on the delivery item. In my view,
the granting of this variance will not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other property in the
area.
If this application is denied we will remove the sign as quickly as we're able to get the posts out of the frozen
ground. However, not allowing this sign to remain on the property could result in hardship since delivery people
may once again start to miss the building.
Please let me know if there's any other information I need to provide.
Sincerely,
n
Russell R. Freed
Property Manager

5 Commissioner Rosemary Franzese appeared on behalf of the
6 Planning Commission to support Mr. Barton' s petition to
7 relocate an existing garage on his property. The
8 Commissioner informed the Council that this request was
9 previously before the Commission and the applicant withdrew
10 his prior request for a breezeway. At this time he is
11 requesting to move an existing free standing accessory
12 structure. In addition to the move the applicant will also
13 be changing the existing gravel surface to a hard concrete
14 surface.
15
16
17 The Planning Commission put several conditions on Mr.
18 Barton' s request : (1) be in accordance with Ordinance
19 1650 . 11 regarding the mover, permits, zoning codes, and
20 condition of the building; (2) the exterior match and be
21 upgraded to satisfactorily meet the requirements by the City
22 Engineer and a professional survey be completed; and (3)
that the edge of the hard surface driveway be a minimum of
0 five feet from the property line .
25
26 Mr. Don Dick, Mr. Barton' s neighbor to the north, was
27 present and Commissioner Franzese indicated he previously
28 objected to the request because his garage would be so close
29 to the edge of the property line .
30
31 Councilmember Marks indicated there was a letter from Mr.
32 Barton' s neighbor to the south, Ken Friberg and Lona Miller,
33 3511 Harding Street, endorsing Mr. Barton' s request .
34
35 Mayor Ranallo indicated he received communication today from
36 . Bill Solz, an attorney, ,-- addressing the requirement that the
37 edge of the hard surface .driveway be a- minimum of five feet
38 from the property line. ' ' Councilmember Fleming said she
39 didn' t see any objection to the request in that letter.
40
41 Scott Barton, 3515 Harding Street, responded to
42 Councilmember Marks' question regarding the setback

5 requirement on the drawing. Mr. Barton said he believes his
6 house was the original farm house for the Gardena Acres
7 Subdivision and is not completely square. He also said he
8 has found all four iron monuments on the property and he
9 wasn' t sure if the Planning Commission was aware of that
10 when the added condition of obtaining a surveyor was
11 applied. Mr. Barton said he wasn' t objecting to the
12 surveyor but didn' t want to spend the money on one if he
13 didn' t have to and was wondering if the City inspector could
14 perform the survey. Larry Hamer, Public Works Director,
15 said the City couldn' t act as a surveyor.
16
17 Councilmember Enrooth felt that since it was one of the
18 oldest lots in the Village and that it is a potential bone
19 of contention as to where the property line is between Mr.
20
21 Barton and his neighbor to the north, that the property line
22 should be clarified.

34 felt it would be very interesting. He also reported the
35 previous two couples will be co-chairing VillageFest which
36 is tentatively scheduled for August 6, 1994 . VillageFest
37 will be a one-day event starting early in the morning with a

5 At the request of the Council, Management Assistant Sarah
6 Bellefuil obtained additional bids for recycling services .
7 She received two additional bids . Mayor Ranallo asked if
8 BFI would continue on a month-by-month basis in case the
9 City decided to close the recycling center. Management
10 Assistant Bellefuil said BFI was willing to continue with
11 1993 prices until March of 1994 and that she hadn' t talked
12 with them about going month-to-month beyond March. She said
13 St . Anthony was one of the few places left that still had a
14 recycling center open. Mayor Ranallo explained that
15 residents were already paying for .the recycling in their
16 rubbish bill . However, the City receives reimbursement from
17 Hennepin County for the recycling center and which is one of
18 the reasons it is kept open.
19
20 Councilmember Enrooth suggested the City continue the
21 recycling center through the middle of May to allow for
22 Spring clean up.
4 VII. PUBLIC HEARINGS.
25
26 The City Manager reported that one neighborhood meeting was
27 held before the actual costs were determined. The project
28 was explained and the inconveniences that went along with
29 the reconstructions and overlays . Additional correspondence
30 was sent to each affected property owner after the City
31 received bids showing exactly what the amount would be if
32 the assessments are approved and which also informed them of
33 the public hearing on the project .
34
35 The Mayor said that about four. or five years ago a task
36 force was formed to make recommendations to the City Council
37 on what they felt should be done to streets �.and sidewalks .
38 They also looked at sewer and water, and other public
39 utilities as well . The City now has a more sophisticated
40 pavement management study which computerizes information
41 about road conditions. From the computer evaluation they
