I. Administration
1. City Planning Consultant Services Discussion
City Administrator Nafstad reported he planned to meet with the Personnel Committee in the next
couple of months to discuss options for the replacement of Al Brixius, the City Planner, who plans
to retires at the end of the year. He said he intended to work with the City Attorney to develop a
draft RFP for Planning Consultant Services and added he would like to hire a replacement in
September so that the new consultant firm would have time to work with the current City Planner
before the end of the year. Administrator Nafstad answered questions from Council.
2. 2024 Street Improvement Project Discussion
City Administrator Nafstad reported the City would be advertising for bids on two 2024 Street
improvement projects soon. He said one project would be specific to concrete flatwork and include
commercial driveway aprons and some sidewalk and would be completed prior to the overlay.
Administrator Nafstad said this would streamline the 2024 Street Improvement project and he
discussed specific areas that would be included in it. He said the bid results would be presented at a
future Council meeting for Council’s approval and answered questions from Council.
3. City Administrator’s Update
City Administrator Nafstad reported the TIF evaluation report for the Albertville Outlet Mall was
completed and the east side of the Mall would qualify as a redevelopment district and added he had
notified the developer.
Agenda Page 4
City Council Meeting Draft Minutes Page 3
Regular Meeting of March 4, 2024
City Administrator Nafstad reported the City has received many questions regarding plowing the
sidewalks in Town Lakes. He said his understanding was the HOA would like to discontinue the
service which they have contracted out since the beginning of the development. He stated the City’s
policy has always been for residents to clear their own sidewalks. He added City Staff does plow
sidewalks once the City streets and schools are cleared but it was usually more than 24 hours after
the know event.
There was Council discussion regarding City staff plowing the Towne Lake’s sidewalks and the
consensus was for the City to continue to follow the City’s policy and only clear resident’s sidewalk
after all City streets and school routes are clear and dependent on City staff’s available time.
4. Special Assessment Agreement for SAC and WAC charges
City Administrator Nafstad reported a new business, Boba and Snacks, would like to relocated to
the strip mall next to Coborn’s. He said the building was current for WAC and SAC charges and a
new business with food and drink components would add new WAC and SAC charges. He said the
new charges would be just under $33,000. Administrator Nafstad reported the tenant approached the
property owner, Phillip Edison Group, and asked that the new charges be incorporated into their
lease in which the property owner stated they were willing to do. Administrator Nafstad said the
City has approved this type of agreement in the past and answered questions from Council.
City Attorney Couri explained how the special assessment agreement would work and answered
questions from Council.
There was Council discussion regarding the proposed Special Assessment agreement.
MOTION made by Councilmember Cocking, seconded by Councilmember Olson to approve the
use of the Standard Special Assessment Agreement drafted by the City Attorney for the Special
Assessment to the property owner, Phillip Edison Group. Ayes: Cocking, Hayden, Hendrickson,
Olson and Zagorski. Nays: None. The motion carried.
5. County Road 137 Design Update
City Administrator Nafstad provided background information on the County Road 137 design. He
said the design would eventually need to be approved by the City and also Wright County. He said
the current proposed design includes a combination of roundabouts and ¾ access at Lymon. He said
another option may be another roundabout at Lymon to allow for full access to the Marketplace
properties. He said a traffic study would be conducted in the area and it would provide information
on the traffic levels in the area. He answered questions from Council regarding the proposed layout.
There was Council discussion regarding the proposed County Road 137 layout design, the partial
access at Lymon and how the businesses would be affected, traffic concerns in the area if Costco
was built, and other options for the proposed layout design.

March 18, 2024
SUBJECT: CONSENT – FIRE – PURCHASE OF TWO HVAC ROOFTOP UNITS AND
DUCTWORK
RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and City Council consider
the following:
MOTION TO: Authorize the purchase of two HVAC Rooftop Units and additional ductwork
for the Fire Department.
BACKGROUND: The Fire Department is requesting approval for two heating, ventilation, and
air conditioning (HVAC) rooftop units (RTU’s) and additional ductwork for the Fire
Department.
The Fire Department has two HVAC RTU’s, and both are original to the building, 1999, unit
models. Over the past three years, the Fire Department has spent a lot of time, and added
expense, to keep the unit’s operating. The Fire Department previously added a bi-annual
maintenance plan to attempt to prolong the lifespan of the units, but recent repairs have shown
that the units are at the end of their operating life.
The mezzanine / storage area of the Fire Department was constructed with no duct work,
bringing both the cooled or heated air into the building space, directly next to the air return,
creating air circulation issues and causing short-cycle issues with the thermostat in the room.
The Fire Department received quotes from commercial HVAC companies and is asking the City
Council to approve the low proposal from Weidner’s Mechanical Contractors in the amount of
$39,450.
The proposal includes:
• Demolition of the current RTU’s
• Installing two high efficiency 5-ton RTU’s
o There is a rebate from Xcel Energy for both high efficiency RTU’s.
• Installing two new curb adaptors
• Reconnecting electrical and gas connections
• Crane Fees
• Adding ductwork in the mezzanine / storage area
KEY ISSUES:
• The Fire Departments HVAC Rooftop Units are quickly reaching its unexpected end of
service-life and needs replacement.
• The Fire Department received quotes from commercial HVAC companies and is asking
the City Council to approve the low proposal from Weidner’s Mechanical Contractors in
the amount of $39,450.
Agenda Page 10
Mayor and Council Request for Action – March 18, 2024
Fire – Purchase of HVAC RTU’s Page 2 of 2
POLICY CONSIDERATIONS: It is City policy for the Council to review and approve all
capital purchases and investments.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: The low proposal for the replacement of the HVAC
Rooftop Units is $39,450. The purchase would be funded by Capital Reserves.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: The City has the authority to purchase equipment under the
State of Minnesota contract or by quotes.

Mayor and Council Request for Action
March 18, 2024
SUBJECT: CONSENT – CLERK – RENEWAL OF CONSUMPTION AND DISPLAY
PERMIT FOR CHURCH OF ST. ALBERT
RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and Council consider the
following:
MOTION TO: Approve renewal of the Consumption and Display permit for the Church of St.
Albert’s for the Parish Center located at 11400 57th Street NE and further subject to receipt of
licensing approval from the State of Minnesota.
BACKGROUND: Staff has received the renewal Consumption and Display permit application
from the Church of St. Albertville for the Parish Center. The Church rents the Parish Center for
event (example: wedding, etc.) and permit allows customers renting the Parish Center to bring
and consume their own alcoholic beverages with the Church’s permission.
KEY ISSUES:
• Consumption and display permits are not issued by the City, but by the State. However,
the local authority (Albertville City Council) must either approve or deny any
applications before they are submitted to the State for approval.
• A consumption and display permit will run April 1, 2024, through March 31, 2025.
• There are no outstanding fire or building code issues and no outstanding fees or fines.
• MN Statute allows any applicant to be eligible for this type of license so long as they
have not been convicted of a felony or liquor law violations within five years.
POLICY/PRACTICES CONSIDERATIONS: The City Council has the authority to approve
or deny liquor licenses and/or more strictly regulate this type of liquor license.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: The City would receive no revenue from this license. A
fee of $250 is payable to the State and must accompany the application.

SUBJECT: PLANNING – MEDART INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT APPLICATIONS
RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and Council consider the
following:
MOTION TO: adopt Resolution No. 2024-12 addressing the development applications for
Medart to allow for the construction of a 105,257 sq. ft. warehouse/ distribution industrial
building in the City of Albertville.
BACKGROUND: On August 15, 2022, the Albertville City Council approved the Albertville
Self-Storage facility development applications including the AVA Second Addition plat, and the
I-2/PUD zoning and development plans. These development plans have not proceeded. Now
Medart Inc. is pursuing the following development applications for the same properties
previously considered by Albertville Self-Storage.
In proceeding with the Medart industrial development, the Planning Commission and City
Council will be required to repeal the previous Albertville Self-Storage development stage PUD
plans approval and approve the following Medart development applications.
1. Combining Lot 1 and 2 Block 1, AVA Second Addition into one lot and building site.
2. Vacation of select drainage and utility easements within Lots 1 and 2 Block 1, AVA
Second Addition to create one lot and building site.
3. PUD Site and Building Plan Review. Review of the site and building plans required of
the development of a two phased industrial warehouse/distribution facility. Phase one
will be a 105,000 square foot office/warehouse. Phase two will be future 84,000 or
70,000 square foot warehouse expansion.
City Staff has reviewed the aforementioned applications and submission materials and prepared
the February 27, 2024, planning report.
The Albertville Planning Commission held a public hearing to consider the development
application and staff reports on March 12, 2024. Upon conclusion of the public hearing, the
Planning Commission recommended approval of each of the development applications with the
conditions outlined in the February 27, 2024, Planning Report with amendments.
KEY ISSUES:
• The project consists of 2 phases of development. Phase one will consist of 105,157 sq. ft.
office/warehouse. Phase 2 is a future 70,000 to 84,000 sq. ft. warehouse expansion.
• The subject site is zoned I-2/PUD, General Industrial/Planned Unit Development district.
The proposed warehouse/distribution land use is a permitted use within the I-2/PUD
district.
Agenda Page 13
Mayor and Council Request for Action – March 18, 2024
Planning – Medart Industrial Development Page 2 of 2
• The I-2 /PUD district also allows the City to consider and approve site design flexibility
related to the loading area fronting on a public street, proof of parking, unpaved fire lane.
• The combination of the two lots results in a single 12.88 acre lot. The new lot meets the
lot area and width requirements of the I-2 zoning district.
• The easements to be vacated are internal to the lots and were specific to the previous
self-storage development project. The vacation of these easements is needed to
accommodate the Medart building and site layout.
• The site design meets the required building setbacks and lot coverage requirements of
the I-2 district.
• The site design segregates on-site automobile and semi-truck traffic, the City Engineer
has approved the curb cut locations and widths.
• The applicant is requesting proof of parking to meet the required parking. This is an
acceptable arrangement. All parking meets the City’s dimensional requirements.
• The loading areas meet the City’s dimensional requirements and are properly designed
for efficient truck movements.
• The proposed building meets the City’s industrial architectural standards.
• The February 27, 2024, Planning Report outlines the conditions and PUD flexibilities
that are recommended for approval of the PUD Site and Building plans. These conditions
have been reviewed, revised, and recommended for approval by the Albertville Planning
Commission.
POLICY/PRACTICES CONSIDERATIONS: The Albertville Planning Commission held a
public hearing on March 12, 2024, and agreed with the recommendations outlined in the
February 27, 2024, Planning Report. Upon closing a public hearing, the Planning Commission
recommended that the City Council approve the Medart development application for lot
combination, easement vacation, and PUD site and building plans subject to the conditions
outlined in the attached resolution.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: All required on-site, and off-site improvements shall be
the responsibility of the developer.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: The requested Medart Development application required public
hearing before the Planning Commission and final approval by the City Council per the
Albertville zoning code.

ISSUES AND ANALYSIS
Lot Combination
The Albertville Subdivision Code allow for the combination of two existing platted lot
through an administrative subdivision. Lots 1 and 2, Block 1 Second Addition
conforming industrial platted lots as shown below. The combined lot area exceeds the I-
2 requirements for lot area and lot width.
Lot Area Lot Width
Lot 1 9.05 acres 450 ft.
Lot 2 3.82 acres 114 ft.
Combined lot 12.88 acres 450 ft
Easement Vacation.
The approval of the previous, Albertville Self-Storage PUD and plat drainage and utility
easements were created internal to the Lot 1, Block 1 AVA Second Addition and Along
the share lot between Lots 1 and 2. These easements were established reflecting the
Self-Storage site design. These easements are not needed and will interfere with the
new Medart site plan. Vacation of these easements supported with the following
findings and conditions.
Findings.
1. The proposed vacated easements do not contain existing utilities and serve no
public purpose.
2. The vacation of the easement will create a buildable development site that will
accommodate a new industry consistent with the Albertville Land Use Plan.
3. The proposed development will be compliant with the Albertville zoning code.
Conditions.
1. The applicant shall provide a legal description of the easements to be vacated.
2. Drainage and utility easements shall be provided along the lot lines of the new
combined lot and over the stormwater ponds.
3. Site grading extends beyond the site into the Outlot A Second Addition. A
drainage and utility easement that encompasses this area must be provided.
Agenda Page 16
4. All easement locations, sizes and configurations shall be subject to the review
and approval of the City Engineer.
Site and Building Plan Review
Setbacks. The table below, the building setback proposed on Lot 1 in comparison with
the applicable I-2 District Setback requirements.
Required Phase 1 Phase 2
Front (west) 30 feet 212 feet 212 feet
Side interior (north) 10 feet 61 feet 82 feet
Side corner (south) 20 feet 220 feet 170 feet
Rear yard (east) 20 feet 368 feet 109 feet
Lot Coverage. Within the I-2 zoning district lot hard coverage is limited to 85% of the
total lot area. The site plan indicates that the proposed phase building and parking will
cover 57.9 % of the total lot area.
Site Access and Circulation. The site subject is proposed to be accessed from 67th
Street and Karen Avenue. In review of the access and circulation patterns within the site
we offer the following comments.
1. The proposed site plan shows three curb cuts serving the site. The site size and
street frontage allow this number of curb cuts.
2. The proposed southern curb cuts at south and west property lines measure 62
and 65 feet in width. By City Code the maximum curb cut width is 24 feet unless
otherwise approved by the City Engineer. The City Engineer will review the
proposed curb cuts and provide a recommendation for an acceptable curb cut
width as a PUD flexibility.
3. The site plan design segregates the automobile parking from the loading area.
4. By code all drive aisles are required to be paved with bitumen or concrete. The
applicant is proposing a 24 foot drive aisle around the building with a gravel
surface. This drive aisle will serve as a fire lane around the building and will be
improved with the future building addition or if additional parking is required. The
City may allow a temporary exemption for paving this drive aisle through PUD
flexibility provided the gravel drive aisle is designed to meet the 2020 Minnesota
State Fire Code, Fire Apparatus Access Road for all-weather access. Staff, also
recommends that this drive aisle be improved to a paved surface by October
2030 or with the future building addition whichever is sooner.
Off-Street Parking. Based on the City Zoning code the following on-site parking is
required
Phased 1
Office: 7,343 sq. ft. x .9 = 6,609 / 200 = 33 parking spaces.
Warehousing: 97,814 sq. ft. x .9 = 88,032 / 1000 = 88 parking spaces
121 parking spaces
Agenda Page 17
Phase 2.
Warehousing: 84,000 sq. ft. x .9 = 75,600 / 1000 = 76 parking spaces
Total phase 1 and 2. 197 Parking spaces.
The site plan illustrates 73 improved parking stalls and 141 proof of parking stalls, 214
total stalls. The phase 1 development parking count is below the required parking count
of 121. The improved parking count is reflective of the company anticipate employee
count. Proof of parking demonstrates that the site can provide adequate parking. The
proof of parking is recommended to be approved as part of the PUD with the following
conditions.
1. On-site parking shall be limited to approved parking stalls. Parking shall be
prohibited on-street, within the drive lanes, loading areas, or unpaved surfaces.
2. The applicant shall construct additional parking meeting the City zoning
standards upon notification from the City. Additional parking will be required if the
on-site parking is insufficient to meet the parking demand.
All improved driveways and parking lots shall have perimeter concrete curbing, paved
surfacing. The parking stalls and drive aisle are properly dimensioned. The improved
parking stalls shall be striped.
Disability parking stalls. The site plan shows 4 disability parking stalls within the west
parking lot. These disability parking stalls are adequate for the 73 stalls. As additional
stalls are built the number of disability stalls must be increased. The site plan shows a
total of 214 parking stalls this will require 6 disability stalls. The site plan must show the
location and design of the 6 disability stalls.
Loading: The site plan illustrates 16 loading berths on the initial phase one building and
15 loading berths on the future building addition. In review of the site plan, we offer the
following comments.
1. Loading berths located in the front yard or the side yard abutting a street may be
allowed by conditional use permit. Rather than require a conditional use permit
this design feature will be address as part of the PUD zoning meeting the CUP
standards for approval.
2. The location of the loading berth on the south side of the building is intended to
take advantage of solar access for snow melt.
3. The site design segregates on-site loading from the on-site parking to reduce
traffic conflicts.
4. The loading berths and related drive aisle are dimensioned to meet code and will
accommodate the turning movements for semi-trucks and trailers.
5. The loading areas facing public streets are required to be screened from public
streets and residential uses. The landscape plan is intended provide screening
Agenda Page 18
of the loading areas. The screening will be evaluated in greater detail later in this
report.
Trash Handling. The site plan shows the location of an outdoor trash enclosure on the
south side of the building. Exterior trash enclosures are to be designed to match the
building. Applicant shall provide a detail of the side walls and gates showing materials
and design.
Building Materials. The Building Elevations show the exterior building treatments for
each of the buildings. The building will be constructed of precast concrete panels
painted with three colors. The building materials meet the I-2 district standards.
Building Layout. The building has man door exiting on all sides of the building. Doors on
the west and south sides of the building exit onto a sidewalk or into the paved loading
area. Doors on the north and east side of the building must provide landing and
sidewalks to exit and move away from the building. These landings and sidewalks must
be kept clear of obstructions and snow. The site plan must show how exiting, and
sidewalks will be established for the doors on the north and east sides of the building.
Mechanical Equipment. The Applicant shall provide revised site and building plans
illustrating the location, size and screening of any ground mounted or rooftop
mechanical equipment.
Building Height. The proposed building will be 39 feet in height at the highest parapet.
The building is well within the maximum 45-foot requirement imposed in I-2 zoning
districts.
Landscaping. Section 1000. 7 outlines the landscaping and screening required for
commercial and industrial lots. The landscaping plan that has been submitted. In review
of the landscape plan, we offer comments.
1. The site plan does a good job reestablishing ground cover over the areas
disturbed by grading with sod and seed mixes that are appropriate for their areas
of use.
2. The southern loading area is required to be screened from 67th Street. The
landscape plan proposes single row plantings along the south curb line of the
loading area. The trees consist of 8 foot tall coniferous trees. The base of the
loading berths at the building is at a 961.5 elevation. The proposed trees are
being planted at a 959 elevation. In this arrangement, the trees will not provide
effective screening at time of installation. Staff recommends that the plan be
revised to include the following.
a. The landscape screening shall consist of a double stagger row of
coniferous trees. Trees shall be a minimum of 8 feet in height. The
spacing of trees in the same row shall be no greater than ten feet.
b. The landscape screen shall be extended for the full length of the initial
construction and the proposed future addition, to allow the plantings to
grow and mature together, becoming a more effective screen over time.
Agenda Page 19
c. A landscape screen or screen wall shall be provided within the green
space along the west end of the loading berths.
3. The zoning code requires screening at that periphery of the parking lot from the
public street. The landscape plan must provide screening either landscaping or
fence along the western edge of the west parking lot. Said screen shall be of a
height to screen headlights directed toward the public street.
4. The plantings along the west side of the building meet the City requirements of
the zoning code.
5. The site and landscape plan must illustrate landings and clear paths from the
doors on the north and east sides of the building to a drive aisle. These landings
and clear paths shall be kept clear of obstructions and snow year-round.
Lighting. The lighting plan shows a total of 21 total exterior light fixtures on site. The
plan includes 13 wall mounted light fixtures and 8 freestanding light poles. In review of
the lighting plan, we offer the following comments.
1. All light fixtures are 90-degree cutoff fixtures with shielded light sources meeting
the City exterior light standards.
2. The proposed freestanding light will be mounted on 36-inch concrete bases and
will have a total height of 25 feet, meeting City standards.
3. The photometric plan shows light levels that meet code.
4. One additional wall mounted light is required over the man door at the northwest
corner of the building.

1. The wall sign details showing the sign size and location. Within the I-2 district
wall may be permitted on walls facing a public street. The wall signs size may be
10% of the wall area or 200 feet whichever is less.
2. If a freestanding sign is proposed the plan must identify the sign’s location and
design. Within the I-2 district ground signs shall not exceed 200 sq. ft. in area or
30 feet in height.
3. If directional signs are proposed to direct traffic or on-site operations, a
comprehensive sign plan can be approved for the site. The comprehensive sign

Mayor and Council Request for Action
March 18, 2024
SUBJECT: PLANNING – AMEND CITY CODE SIGN REGULATIONS TO ALLOW
PLAYFIELD SIGNS IN P/I ZONING DISTRICT
RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and Council consider the
following motion:
MOTION TO: Adopt Ordinance No. 2024-02 approving amendments to City Code Title 10,
Chapter 7 Sign Regulations, Section 10-7-6 establishing regulations and standards for allowing
temporary signs within Central Park playfields.
BACKGROUND: The Albertville Sport Associations have inquired if the City would allow for
the placement of advertising signs on the inside of the playfields. This will allow the associations
and teams to sell advertising to local businesses and generate revenues to support their activities
and field improvements.
The Albertville Sign code does not address the playfield signs, as such these types of signs are
prohibited. In researching playfield signs, Staff discovered that many Cities permit temporary
signs within their playfields as a revenue source for their Sport Associations. The attached
amendment outline provisions that may allow signs within the Central Park Playfields.
The Albertville Planning Commission held public hearings on February 13 and March 12 and
reviewed the sign code amendment. Upon closing the public hearing, the Planning Commission
recommended that the City Council approve the playfield sign code amendment.
KEY ISSUES:
• The playfield signs shall only be allowed in Central Park. Central Park fields are used in
league play and are not surrounded by residential neighborhoods. The code amendment
does not introduce commercial signs into the neighborhood parks in residential
neighborhoods.
• The proposed sign location shall be limited to the internal face of the playfield fences.
This limits the exposure of the sign face to players and spectators on a specific playfield.
• The playfield signage is intended to be a revenue source to the sport associations. The
sale of signage to businesses shall be negotiated by the associations with regard to cost,
duration, and location.
• The sport associations shall submit playfield signs to City Staff for review and approval.
There will be no sign fee with this sign request. The City approval shall address the size,
location and duration of any signs proposed within the playfield.
• Signs shall be limited to Banner signs not to exceed 3 feet in height and 5 feet in length.
• Signs may be installed between May 1 through October 1. The Sport Associations shall
be responsible for the removal of all signs at the end of the season.
• The temporary banner signs must be removed two days in advance of Friendly City Days
and may be reinstalled a day after the end of the festival.
Agenda Page 38
Mayor and Council Request for Action – March 28, 2024
Planning – Amendment to Allow Playfield Signs Page 2 of 2
• The City may remove any playfield sign that falls into disrepair or presents a public
safety concern.
• The playfield sign approvals will include an agreement that outlines the conditions by
which the sign may be installed on City property.
POLICY/PRACTICES CONSIDERATIONS: The Planning Commission held public hearings
and reviewed the draft sign code amendment over two months. Upon closing the public hearings,
the Planning Commission recommended the City Council approve the attached sign code
amendment.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: There will be a City Staff time investment in the review
of the future playfield signs. The playfield signs are intended to be a revenue source for the
Sports Associations, the Sport Association use their revenues to contribute to the playfield
maintenance, repair, and improvements.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: In accordance with Council procedures, the Mayor and City
Council have the authority to approve or deny these amendments.

RE: Sign Code Amendment – Playfield Signs
FILE NO: 163.05 23.05
BACKGROUND
The Albertville Sport Associations have inquired if the City would allow for the placement
of advertising signs on the inside of the playfields. This will allow the associations and
teams to sell advertising to local businesses and generate revenues to support their
activities and field improvements.
The Albertville Sign code does not address the playfield signs, as such these types of
signs are prohibited. The attached amendment outline provisions that may allow ballpark
signs.
In reviewing the sign amendment, the planning commission requested that staff outline
design performance standards for the playfield signs.
EXHIBITS
Exhibit A: Draft Sign Code Amendment – Playfield signs.
ANALYSIS
Many cities have sign regulations that allow playfield signs as means of generating
revenues for local sport associations or teams. In drafting the attached sign code
amendment, we researched other Cities to determine the type of sign requirements that
would be appropriate for Albertville.
Major points of the attached Sign Code amendment include:
1. The playfield signs shall only be allowed in Central Park. Central Park fields are
used in league play and are not surrounded by residential neighborhoods. The
code amendment does not introduce commercial signs into residential
neighborhoods.

2. The proposed sign location shall be limited to the internal face of the ballpark field
fences. This limits the exposure of the sign face to players and spectators on a
specific ball field.
3. Ballpark signs shall be reviewed and approved by City Staff. The sign approval
shall address the size, location and duration of any signs proposed within the
ballpark.
4. Signs shall be limited to banner signs not to exceed 3 feet in height and 5 feet in
length.
5. Signs may be installed between May 1 through October 1.
6. The temporary banner signs must be removed for the Friendly City Days.
7. The City may remove any playfield sign that falls into disrepair or presents a public
safety concern.
8. The approval will include an agreement that outlines the conditions of approval.
CONCLUSION
The attached code is offered for Planning Commission and Council consideration. If the
code amendment is acceptable, Staff recommends approval.
