PLANNING REPORT
TO: Albertville Planning Commission
FROM: Michelle Barness, Planner / Alan Brixius, Principal
DATE: July 3, 2012
RE: Albertville – Center Cut Meat Sign Variance
NAC FILE: 163.05 – 12.06
BACKGROUND
Gary Lies, owner of Center Cut Meats, previously submitted a Sign Permit Application
to the City for a painted roof sign for his business. City Ordinance does not permit
painted roof signs and the permit was denied. However the City Council directed staff to
work with Mr. Lies in exploring sign ordinance options in order to meet his business
needs, especially given his unique location along Interstate 94 and Barthel Industrial
Drive.
The subject property is located at 11646 Barthel Industrial Drive and is zoned B-3,
Highway Commercial District. The lot contains a single occupancy commercial building
(see Exhibit C), and currently has one freestanding pylon sign approximately 50 feet in
height, as permitted by Section 10-7-8(3)(i) of the Sign Ordinance.
A new Sign Permit Application has been submitted on behalf of Mr. Lies, seeking
approval to construct an additional ground sign along the frontage of the Center Cut
Meats parcel. This second proposed ground sign is equal to 128 square feet in area,
and 16 feet in height.
ANALYSIS
Section 10-7-8(3)(i) of the City Sign Ordinance (Chapter 7) describes permitted
business signage for commercial lots having 100 feet in width immediately adjacent to
and along Interstate 94, as in the subject property, and allows both one 50 foot tall
freestanding pylon sign (already erected on the site) and an additional freestanding
monument sign at the site entrance “not to exceed sixty (60) square feet in sign area or
twelve feet (12’) in height.” As such, the applicant is allowed a second ground sign, as
long as it also meets basic Ordinance requirements for Permitted Business Signs.
5
Center Cut Meats is requesting a variance from the 128 square feet sign area and 16
feet sign height for their second freestanding sign. The proposed sign exceeds the
allowed 60 square foot area by 68 square feet. If this second sign was their sole sign,
they would have been allowed a sign up to 232 square feet in area, based on the lot
width standards listed in Section 10-7-8(3)(a). In addition, the four foot difference
between required and proposed sign height is minimal, and should be considered in
combination with the larger sign size, given that the subject site meets the requirements
of a variance allowing the construction of the sign to proceed:
Section 10-7-9: VARIANCES: Where there are practical difficulties or unnecessary
hardships in the way of carrying out the strict letter of the provisions of this chapter, the
city council has the power to vary the requirements of this chapter in harmony with the
general purpose and intent hereof, so that the public health, safety and general welfare
may be secured and substantial justice done. When considering a variance, the city
council shall make a finding of fact and grant approval based upon the following
conditions:
A. That the conditions involved are unique to the particular parcel of land or use
involved.
Staff Response. The combination of an oddly shaped parcel in relation to the
curve of the adjacent Barthel Industrial Drive, and a building structure that is set
down below the road right-of-way, may make it difficult for business patrons to
easily identify the entrance to the Center Cut Meats business. As such, a taller
and larger sign would be appropriate in meeting basic business needs.
B. That the purpose of the variation is not based exclusively upon a desire to
increase the value or income potential of the business involved.
Staff Response. The purpose of the variance is based on the need of the
business applicant to simply become more visible to both local and highway
traffic interested in accessing the site.
C. That the alleged difficulty or hardship is caused by this chapter and has not been
created by any persons presently having an interest in the parcel.
Staff Response. The parcel location and shape, and related sign needs which
conflict with the Sign Regulation chapter, are not the responsibility of the
business owner or permit applicant.
D. That the proposed variation will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to
adjacent property, or substantially increase the congestion of the public streets,
or interfere with the function of the sheriff's and fire departments of the city.
Staff Response. It does not appear that the proposed variation will impair an
adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property, increase congestion of
public streets, or interfere with the function of sheriff or fire departments.
6
RECOMMENDATION
Planning staff recommends that the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend
approval to the City Council for Center Cut Meat’s Building Permit Application to
construct a second ground sign along the frontage of their property.
Planning staff also recommends approval of the variance request to construct a ground
sign which is four feet (4’) higher and sixty eight (68) square feet larger than the allowed
signage height and area requirements in Section 10-7-8(3)(i)(2); based on the findings
outlined in the body of this report, and because undue hardship will result if the variance
is denied due to the existence of special conditions and circumstances which are
peculiar to the land, structure or building involved.

PLANNING REPORT

DATE: July 3, 2012
RE: Albertville – Industrial District Amendment
FILE NO: 163.05 – 12.04
Within the I-1 and I-2 Zoning Districts, the City has established standards for maximum
building coverage on a lot and maximum impervious coverage for a lot.
Fraser Steel will be pursuing a building expansion in August 2012. In preliminary
meetings with Fraser Steel, it was revealed that they may exceed the I-1 District
maximum building coverage of 30 percent.
In staff discussions, we raised the need for a maximum building coverage standard.
Typically, building size on a parcel is dictated by setback, parking, and maximum
impervious standards. The maximum building coverage is an artificial cap on
development that staff feels serves no purpose and may actually interfere with in-place
growth of local industries.
Staff is recommending the attached Zoning Ordinance amendment repealing the
maximum building coverage from both the I-1 and I-2 Districts.

Albertville Vision Study DRAFT JULY 3, 2012 39
GOALS AND POLICIES
Through the vision process, the City Council, Planning Commission and staff worked
together to outline issues and opportunities that the City will need to address over the
next 20 years.
The City Council and Planning Commission, through a series of workshop meetings,
then outlined the City’s future goals. This chapter identifies the general community
goals and policies for their implementation. In the sections which follow, the terms
“goals” and “policies” are frequently used. These terms are defined as follows:
Goals: The generalized end products which will ultimately result in achieving the
kinds of living, working and recreational environments that are desired.
Policies: Definite courses of action which lead to goal achievement. They serve as
guides to help make present and future decisions consistent with the
stated goals.
Small Town Atmosphere
Goal 1: Maintain and protect Albertville’s small town atmosphere and identity
through long range planning.
Policies:
1. Enhance the areas surrounding the Albertville interchange ramps, which serve as
the gateway to the community, through planning, development and/or
redevelopment of marginal and under-utilized properties.
2. Maintain and develop attractive residential neighborhoods through the
application of high development standards.
3. Maintain and develop high quality commercial areas through the application of
quality architectural standards and site design elements such as parking,
landscaping, and lighting that promote an attractive shopping environments.
4. As opportunities present themselves, investigate the redevelopment of the Main
Avenue streetscape to create an attractive historical downtown. Efforts may
include:
a. Burying the overhead utility lines.
b. Pedestrian friendly sidewalk design.
______________________________________________________________________
Albertville Vision Study DRAFT JULY 3, 2012 40
c. Redevelopment of marginal or under-utilized properties.
d. Improvement and enhancement of Central/Lions Park as a community
amenity.
e. Redevelopment of single family homes along Main Avenue to a
commercial land use.
f. Improve available public/private parking to enhance the appearance of
the downtown area.
g. Attractive streetscape, landscaping, lighting and sidewalk amenities.
h. Promote private reinvestment in downtown buildings.
5. Maintain and improve the City’s comprehensive sidewalk and trail system
through the implementation of the City’s 2011 Trail System Plan
recommendations.
6. Investigate opportunities to maintain and enhance the Cedar Creek Golf Course
as a community amenity.
7. Continue to promote neighborliness and citizen involvement in community
activities and organizations, and program activities like:
a. Friendly City Days.
b. FYCC Recreational Programs.
c. Civic organizations.
d. School activities.
e. City newsletter.
Pace of Growth
Goal 1: Manage growth that provides quality development and does not fiscally
burden the community.
Policies:
1. Infill development of existing platted residential lots with homes that share the
same quality and value of adjoining homes.
2. The City will be patient with the development of the remaining larger
undeveloped tracts of residentially zoned land. With a limited supply of
residential zoned land, the City can wait for a preferred development.
______________________________________________________________________
Albertville Vision Study DRAFT JULY 3, 2012 41
3. The cost of extending utilities for residential development will be the burden of
the developer.
4. Maintain its current planned commercial and industrial land use patterns and
zoning.
5. Examine redevelopment as opportunities for public/private projects present
themselves. City involvement will be determined on a case-by-case basis based
on City priorities and return on investment.
6. Annually update the City’s five year capital improvement plan to maintain,
renovate, or replace deteriorating public infrastructure. Long range improvement
projects will be annually identified, reviewed, scheduled, and budgeted to plan
for these needed project expenditures.
Residential
Goal 1: Maintain and build attractive residential neighborhoods.
Policies:
1. Promote infill development within existing neighborhoods with homes that share
the same quality and value as adjoining homes.
2. The City is very concerned with the amount of residential rental properties in the
City. There is specific concern for the conversion of owner-occupied single
family and townhome units to rental. The City will continue to enforce its rental
ordinance and property maintenance regulations on all rental properties to insure
the properties stay in proper repair.
3. The Visioning Study has indicated that the majority of Albertville’s housing is less
than 20 years old and is in very good condition. However, the study has also
identified scattered sites where housing is showing its age or deterioration.
While it is not an immediate priority, the City may consider the following
programs to address sites of poor housing condition:
a. Vacant Building Ordinance (existing).
b. Rental Ordinance (existing).
c. Point of Sale Ordinance.
4. Excessive outdoor storage on scattered sites through the City was identified as a
detriment to the adjoining neighbors. Promotion of yard cleaning and regulation
______________________________________________________________________
Albertville Vision Study DRAFT JULY 3, 2012 42
of outdoor storage were recommended through code enforcement on a
complaint basis.
5. Through the five year capital improvement programming, the City will include the
replacement of bituminous trails located in residential front yards with concrete
sidewalks.
6. Examine City subdivision and zoning performance standards to establish the
performance standards that accomplish the City’s residential goals.
Goal 2: Provide a variety of housing options to meet the life cycle needs of
Albertville residents.
Policies:
1. The City has identified senior housing with services as a priority need within the
community. The City will work with senior housing providers to address this
local need.
2. Albertville has a fair balance of housing densities as well as a large supply of
medium and high density residential land use near its borders within other
communities. Albertville will limit future multiple family development to locations
currently zoned for multiple family land uses. Except for senior housing, no new
locations have been identified for multiple family land use.
3. Encourage the rehabilitation of substandard multiple family properties that
display deteriorated building conditions, no site amenities, or poor site design
through the enforcement of the City’s Rental Ordinance.
4. Adhere to the highest community design and construction standards for new
construction and redevelopment projects.
5. Accompany medium and high density development with adequate accessory
amenities such as garages, parking, open space, landscaping, and recreational
facilities to insure a safe, functional, and desirable living environment.
Commercial
Goal 1: The City will continue to promote commercial development by the City
taking advantage of its access to Interchange 94 and the growing population of
Albertville and its adjoining communities.
______________________________________________________________________
Albertville Vision Study DRAFT JULY 3, 2012 43
Policies:
1. The City will promote commercial development within locations of the City’s
commercial areas as guided in the Albertville Proposed Land Use Plan.
2. The City should be patient with infill commercial development to insure proper
access, quality site design, and quality architecture. Maintaining high design and
construction standards related to architecture, site design, and landscaping was
recommended.
3. With regard to older buildings, the City will be supportive of the reuse of these
buildings, but will enforce the fire sprinkler requirements of Regulation 1306.
4. Site access will drive the timing and quality of commercial development. The
Visioning Study identified a number of locations where improved street access is
needed to facilitate commercial development, as illustrated on Figures 1.0-4.0 of
this Vision Study. The City will promote private interest to cooperate in providing
this street access. The City’s role in these street connections will be as a
facilitator.
5. Downtown Albertville has been a target of criticisms for its appearance, however,
in the scope of the entire community, it has been identified as a low priority
project. The City will pursue downtown improvement projects when
opportunities become available and financially practical.
6. The following commercial uses have been identified as desired in Albertville:
a. Additional hospitality businesses, hotels, sit down restaurants, conference
centers.
b. Big box retailer.
c. Lumber yard.
Industrial
Goal 1: Promote continued industrial development in order to expand local
employment opportunities and the City’s tax base.

Primary focus shall be the retention and in-place expansion of Albertville’s
existing industries.
3. Maintain open lines of communication with local industries to be aware of the
needs and to create a business-friendly and business-responsive community.
4. Periodically examine its industrial zoning standards to insure they address
industrial needs and accomplish the City’s industrial land use goals.
Economic Development
Goal 1: The Vision Committee identified commercial and industrial growth as a
priority for the community. The City will become more aggressive in its economic
development promotion efforts.
Policies:
1. The City shall define its land use goals for commercial and industrial areas as
related to:
a. Location, land supply, variable lot sizes.
b. Access.

a. Advertise with professional media; market in professional magazines
(retail, industrial, construction).
b. Keep tax, fees, charges and SAC/WAC fees low.
c. Grow in-place industries.

priority for the City. This public improvement would allow for the golf course
clubhouse expansion to accommodate larger events, banquet facilities, and
community events. The water extension is necessary to provide proper fire
protection.
2. The completion of Phase I C-D road and I-94/County Road 19 interchange has
been a longstanding priority for the City which will be completed in Fall 2012.
The Vision Committee identified the completion of the Phase II ramp as a high
priority.
3. With the completion of the C-D road and I-94, the City has also identified the
need to upgrade County Road 19 to a four-lane street from the Outlet Mall to
70th Street as a City priority.
4. The City will need to upgrade its wastewater treatment plan to address the
following:
a. Expanding the capacity to treat solids.
b. Reduction of phosphorous to meet MPCA guidelines.
5. The City has identified retaining and expanding the Ice Arena in Albertville as a
priority. The City will work to identify options for the physical layout of the Ice
Arena and financing that can be cooperatively pursued with other Ice Arena
participants.
______________________________________________________________________
Albertville Vision Study DRAFT JULY 3, 2012 46
6. The City will continue to investigate opportunities to share facilities, services and
programs with surrounding communities as a means of expanding services, avoid
duplication, and reducing costs to Albertville residents.
Finance
Goal 1: Maintain Albertville as a financially sound, self-sustaining community.
Policies:
1. The City’s financial position and debt service shall be annually reviewed and
analyzed to ensure proper fiscal programming and management. City budgets
must reflect all of its operational, capital, and debt expenses to ensure that they
balance with available revenues.
2. Allocate, to the extent possible, administrative and improvement costs to those
generating the demand or utilizing the service.
3. An annual update shall be prepared of the capital improvement program for the
management, programming, and budgeting of needed improvement projects
(see Ten Year Project List). In considering any new project, the Council will
evaluate its priority based on project costs, available funds, and priorities of
other community projects.
4. An application, fee, and processing procedure shall be continued which assigns
financial cost of any and all related project consideration to the applicant.
5. Special assessments and/or special taxing districts shall be concepts utilized in
assigning costs for public improvements to benefiting parties.
6. Federal and State programs shall be monitored for the possibility of assisting the
City with implementing the Comprehensive Plan and meeting the needs of the
community.
7. The City will promote new growth consistent with its adopted Land Use Plan to
expand its employment base and to grow its commercial and industrial tax base.
