1 VI. MISCELLANEOUS.
2 A. Police Chief Engstrom's Report/Comments.
3 Chief Engstrom indicated perhaps the Commission could ask questions in regard to his
4 department. In this way, he would be better able to provide informaiton more pertinent for the
5 updated Comprenehsive Plan.
6 Chief Engstrom indicated his main concern for St. Anthony in regard to the Comprehensive Plan,
7 is that the rental stock not increase any further. He noted apartment complexes are perhaps the
8 hardest place to police.
9 Chair Bergstrom indicated the Commission has had an opportunity to review the Fire Chief s
10 report, it deals with the capacity of the Fire Department. He questioned Chief Engstrom in
11 regard to the capacity of the Police Department. Chief Engstrom indicated the department
12 receives between 6,000 and 7,000 calls annually. This amount is considerably lower than in the
13 1980's when the calls were ranging from 13,000 to 14,000 calls annually.
14 Chief Engstrom was confident that current resources would be available to handle a significant
15 increase, although they would not want the calls to increase.
16 Chief Engstrom indicated the reduced number in calls is reflective of various conditions, such as:
17 general crime trends,crime prevention programs and a reduction in rental units in the city.
18 The Chief also indicated St. Anthony is a close community, and neighbors watch out for
19 neighbors. He noted the officers work very hard,but also have help from the cooperation of
20 residents and that tends to enhance and continue the "closeness" of the community.
21 Chief Engstrom indicated that workable housing codes would help officers to enforce codes and
22 ordinances to improve and maintain the housing stock.
23 Commissioner Faust inquired if the Police Chief had seen any change in regard to crime near
24 Apache Plaza. The Chief indicated the main problem that is occurring is the open building that
25 kids and vagrants get into, but there is not a serious problem.
26 Chief Engstrom indicated in reference to maintaining properties, usually rental properties are a
27 main concern. The department is finding if there is good management,the problems are fewer.
28 Commissioner Gondorchin indicated in regard to rentals,there are ordinances that will allow the
29 city to take sanctions against the landlords.

1 Commissioner Makowske inquired if there is enough support for the landlord when taking
2 actions against undesirable tenants. Chief Engstrom indicated yes there is, in fact more and more
3 apartment managements are able to review in depth those moving into the complexes.
4 Commissioner Makowske inquired if the city is seeing results of the D.A.R.E. program. The
5 Chief indicated there has been a reduction of petty crimes and vandalism.
6 Commissioner Makowske indicated there is a perception that the crime facing Northeast
7 Minneapolis is moving towards St. Anthony, he questioned the Chief in regard to this. The
8 Chief indicated in some respects that may be true and unavoidable, but there are many aspects
9 where the community has opted to control its own destiny. The Chief indicated the officers in St.
10 Anthony are more proactive than reactive and that shows them to be more aggressive.
11 Commissioner Horst inquired when Apache is redeveloped, will there be a traffic issue to be
12 concerned about. The Chief indicated the roads were built in the 1960's when traffic was at its
13 worst with stop signs, and he felt there should be no concerns now.
14 Commissioner Horst inquired as to how to keep the "feel" of the community. The Chief
15 suggested continuing the public "Town Meetings". He felt these meetings show the community
16 that the Police Department is made up of people just like them and it shows the officers that the
17 community supports them.
18 Chief Engstrom indicated the past support of the community has encouraged the officers to do
19 their best, because they do not want to let the community down.
20 Commissioner Franzese inquired as to housing mix. The Chief indicated he would not like to see
21 any increase in rental properties.
22 Commissioner Franzese asked what advice the Chief might give the Commission in regard to
23 traffic on Silver Lake Road, should redevelopment of Apache occur. The Chief indicated it is
24 hard to plan for an unknown. The Police Department does not encourage a four lane connection
25 on Silver Lake Road.
26 Commissioner Faust expressed his gratitude for the officers delivering their Commission packets
27 each month. He noted it is nice to see the officers in the neighborhood on "non-business" calls.
28 B. Fire Chief Johnson's Report.
29 Chair Bergstrom indicated the information from Chief Johnson was received in the September
30 Packet and is for the Commission's information.

2 Management Assistant Moore-Sykes indicated St. Anthony meets or exceeds the benchmark set
3 forth by the Met Council for their region.
4 Ms. Moore-Sykes indicated the City Council approved a Resolution electing to support the
5 Livable Communities Act . The City will be setting its goals to maintain availability and
6 affordability of current housing stock.
7 D. New Brighton Comprehensive Plan update.
8 Chair Bergstrom indicated the New Brighton Comprehensive Plan was provided to
9 Commissioners to review and draw ideas from, for St. Anthony's Comprehensive Plan.
10 Commissioner Faust believed the plan to not be a readable document for the general public, he
11 felt there were too many "technical" extras.
12 Commissioner Franzese felt the document was a good technical document. She believed the
13 Comprehensive Plan would not be written for the general public.
14 Commissioner Makowske indicated he was disappointed in the Implementation of the Plan
15 Section, he felt this to be the most important portion of the Comprehensive Plan. He pointed out
16 an Executive Summary of the document would be appropriate to have preceding the document
17 for the general public's review.
18 Chair Bergstrom indicated he would concur, an Executive Summary could contain the essence of
19 the document without detailing the technical aspects. He was surprised that the New Brighton
20 Plan did not contain one.
21 Chair Bergstrom indicated the more plans the Commission reviews, the better they would be at
22 preparing the Comprehensive Plan for St. Anthony.
23 Commissioner Gondorchin believed New Brighton was at one end of the scale and Columbia
24 Heights was at the other and a good blend of both would be appropriate.
25 F. City's Response re: Pirino's Property.
26 Commissioner Gondorchin noted a published letter by the former Mayor in regard to the issue.
27 Ms. Moore-Sykes indicated there was a City response also that will be published in the Focus.

14 organization, and many changes are occurring.
15 Commissioner Makowske inquired as to the next step in the Comprehensive Plan Update
16 process. Chair Bergstrom indicated,the update needs to be in the budget. Ms. Moore-Sykes
17 indicated the budget will be discussed and approved by the Council on December 6th and/or
18 December 20th.
19 Chair Bergstrom also mentioned Mr. Doug Jones would like to address the Commission in
20 regard to water issues.
21 Commissioner Faust suggested hearing experts first in regard to the Water Management and then

24 staff to review.
25 Commissioner Franzese inquired if there would be plans regarding redevelopment of Apache at
26 the next meeting. Ms. Moore-Sykes indicated there is no information, as of yet, presented to the
27 City.

29 process in June. He noted the budget has $5,000 set aside for the Comprehensive Plan Update
30 and commended staff for anticipating the need.

STAFF REPORT
DATE: November 21, 1995
TO: Planning Commission Members
FROM: Kim Moore-Sykes, Management Assistant .
ITEM: Petition for a Wall Sign Variance -=Wirth Companies for
the Apache Medical Building
BACKGROUND:
The Wirth Companies, the management company for the Apache Medical building, have,
submitted a petition for a sign variance for the Apache Medical building, basing their
request on a lack of adequate exterior commercial signage for business tenants. They are
asking to be allowed to place two additional commercial signs on the exterior south wall.
The Wirth Companies indicated in their application that while some of the established
businesses are recognized and have historically been associated with the "Apache" sign to
denote their location, many of the newer businesses that are now leasing in the building do
not have that advantage. Because they are not as well known in this community, their
contention is that the lack of an exterior sign is creating a hardship in that they are not
able to provide their services. In an attempt to establish themselves in this community,
they will need the additional signage.
The Wirth Companies also contend that the "Apache" lettering on the white marble in the
center of the building should not be considered in the calculation of the square footage for
signage. Mr. Schmitt explains that the lettering can be removed, but not the white marble
as it is an integral part of the building. It cannot be feasibly removed without damaging
the building.
ANALYSIS:
In reviewing the sign ordinance, it appears that there is an unclear definition of what was
meant by "commercial establishment" with regards to this situation. Chapter 14, (1400.12,
Subd. 2 (1)) states that there will be one identification sign per right-of-way frontage per
commercial establishment. The question before Staff is, whether or not the Apache
Medical Building is considered one commercial establishment or are the individual service
businesses located within the Apache Medical Building each a commercial establishment?
If the Planning Commission establishes that each business located in the Apache Medical
Building is an individual service establishment, then the next question is the number of
wall signs allowable for the Apache Medical Building. The City's sign ordinance states that
the total area of all wall signs affixed to a wall may not exceed 15% of the total area of that
wall. Based on the information provided by the Wirth Companies, the total area of the
wall is 9,090 square feet; the total of the proposed sign area, including the Apache sign, is
883.4 square footage, or 9.7% of the wall. If it is determined that the Apache Medical
Building is allowed multiple wall signs, the proposed signs would fall within the 15% of
the total area of the wall restriction.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff is asking the Planning Commission to make a determination on the definition of a
commercial establishment and whether the individual businesses in the Apache Medical
Building qualify as such.
Based on the Planning Commission's interpretation, should it be determined that each
service business within the Apache Medical Building is a separate commercial
establishment, the Staff recommends,that the Apache Medical Building be authorized to
install the wall signs according to the submitted signage plan, without variance.
Staff also recommends that the variance petition fee be refunded to the Wirth Companies
once it is determined that no variance is required.
Staff also recommends that Wirth Companies adhere to the wall signage restrictions as
stated in 1400.12, Subd. 2 (1), whereby the number of additional signs be limited by the
15% wall coverage and that the Wirth Companies limit the total number of wall signs to
six (6), as per the letter dated October 18, 1995 and submitted to the City.

The Wirth Companies would like to request a variance to commercial sign requirements.
Because of the lack of adequate exterior signage, a hardship had been created for the
tenants leasing space at the Apache Medical & Professional Center. Many of the
businesses located within the building need signage to advertise their services in order to
be successful. Some of the more established medical practices are recognized and
associated with the"Apache"sign as an indicator of their location. The new businesses
that are being attracted to and are leasing space in the building, however, need additional
signage. Currently there are twenty eight businesses located in the building, with a
potential of eight more leasing space from us in the near future.
At this time we are requesting a variance for two signs as indicated on the attached
diagrams. With the placement of these signs there is a potential other tenants would also
want signs, however in every lease, The Wirth Companies retains the control over the
type, color, and size(if any), will be placed on the building. If anyone should want a sign,
in addition to what we are requesting now, I would again request your approval. All signs
will be of this same type and color as well as style. I do not foresee the possibility of more
than 6 (six) signs ever being placed on the ground level.
The"Apache" sign located in the center of the building,in my opinion could be interpreted
as a sign in two separate ways. The first is by using the square footage of the entire white
marble area(787.5 Sq. Ft.). This white marble, in my opinion is not part of the sign
because it would remain a part of the exterior masonary regardless of the"Apache" letters
presence on the building. If a 6 inch border were applied to the letters themselves, thus
making it a reasonable designated sign area, the square footage would then be 66 Sq. Ft.
This second interpretation, I feel is a more realistic approach to figuring the total sign area
for this sign.

We are requesting a variance to the sign requirements to put two additional signs on the
first floor exterior of the building. Again, these signs will be professionally done with the
edge of the sign outlined in the emerald color. (Attached is a sample).
Thank you for your consideration. If you have any questions please call me at 788-8881.
Sincerely,
Scott Schmitt
