The concrete dugouts we complete as well as the rock pathways at the new ballfields. To get power to the press box at the baseball field Xcel Energy would like the city to buy the wire and trench it in ourselves. The cost of the wire would run about $1,000 and the cost to rent a trench for the day is around $200. Xcel would then install a meter and hook it up at no charge. There was an attempted break-in at the FYCC Concession stand at the Park Building. Nothing was stolen but the serving doors were damaged. There were repaired and a better locking device was installed. Oakside Park has special wood chips around the playground equipment that need to be added to which will cost about $1,000. We hired Luke Zachman of St. Michael for the Part-time Seasonal help. He has been working out very well. Glad to have him on board for the summer season.

The following is a review of this variance request. ANALYSIS In February 2001, the Albertville City Council approved an amendment to the Westwind PUD to allow for the implementation of a development plan with specific uses and an internal system of shared access. The PUD approval included a plat that created three lots for commercial development. Lot 1 of the Westwind PUD subdivision was created with a multi tenant shopping center and a site plan was processed simultaneously with PUD amendment. Second Wind Exercise Equipment Outlet has occupied the northwest tenant bays of this shopping center. As part of the PUD approval, the following conditions were imposed pertaining to signs: 1. The PUD shall be limited to two multi tenant building identification ground signs at a height of 75 feet, not to exceed an elevation of 1033. The total sign area between the two signs shall not exceed 400 total square feet. 2. Each lot was entitled to one ground sign of monument design, not to exceed 10 feet in height and 40 square feet in area exclusive of the sign foundation. 3. No wall signs shall be allowed on the rear buildings facing residentially zoned areas. 4. Wall signs shall be consistent with City regulations within the B-3 Zoning District. Subdivision 4 of the Albertville Sign Ordinance outlines the criteria for accessory signs to multiple occupancy buildings including shopping centers. This section of the Sign Ordinance requires the submission of a Comprehensive Sign Plan for the entire building or shopping center that outlines in sufficient detail the signs that would identify shopping area identification signs as well as individual tenant signs. The site plan submittal provided for the building included a sign band area on the front of the building, which identified the location of the signs since no tenants had signed leases at the point of site review. Subdivision 4 of the Albertville Sign Ordinance also establishes the following applicable criteria to wall signage: 1. Total allowable sign area for a multiple occupancy structure shall not exceed 15 percent of the combined wall surfaces of all walls which abut streets in the commercial districts. 2. No multiple occupancy structures may display more than two overall building identification signs. 3. No individual tenant wall signs may exceed 100 square feet in area. With the receipt of the sign variance, it appears that the existing signage on the north side of the building for Second Wind Exercise Equipment Outlet is approximately 140 square feet in area. This exceeds the single tenant signage limit of 100 square feet, but is less then the 15%. Consistent with the interpretation used for signs at the JMJ Outlet Mall, under the PUD the Commission recommends that the provision regarding 15% of the wall area apply and that the existing sign be allowed to remain over 100 square feet. The applicant is now requesting a variance for, an additional sign of 200 square feet on the northwest side of the building. In review of this application, this would appear to run contrary to the PUD approval which states that no wall signage, shall be allowed on the rear buildings facing residential zones. While this side of the building is not the rear of the building, the northwest corner of the building does face residential back yards to the west of the site. An issue already exists pertaining to light nuisance coming off the parking lot and building. In this respect, we feel that additional signage is not appropriate. Section 11 of the Albertville Sign Ordinance outlines the following criteria for evaluating business sign variances. 2 1. The conditions involved are unique to the particular parcel of land use involved. We do not believe that the Albertville Plaza site is unique or presents a hardship that can be overcome by additional signage. The site already is afforded signage above and beyond a typical B-3 site through the PUD approval (i.e., the 75 foot tall freestanding sign and front wall sign). 2. The Council must find that the proposed variation is not based exclusively on the desire to increase the value or income potential of the business. The applicants own description of need represents that this is one of the driving interests in pursuing the variance. 3. The Council must find that the alleged difficulty or hardship is caused by the ordinance and has not been created by persons personally having an interest in the parcel. The Albertville Plaza building location allows the individual wall signs as well as the freestanding signs to provide excellent visibility to the building. As such, we do not believe that there is a physical hardship that is unique to this site which creates a need for additional-signage. 4. That the proposed variation will not impair the adequate supply of light or air to adjacent to property or will substantially increase congestion of public streets or interfere with the function of police and fire department in the area. As noted in a recent City Council meeting, there are concerns regarding the amount of light on the Albertville Plaza site and the impact it is having on the adjoining residential neighborhoods. The introduction of a 200 square foot illuminated wall sign on the northwest corner of the building would introduce additional lighting into the adjoining residential neighborhood. As such, we feel it would have a negative impact on the adjoining properties and would be inconsistent with the intent of the conditions outlined in the original PUD agreement which state that no wall signage shall be allowed on the rear of the buildings facing residential zoned areas. RECOMMENDATION In conclusion, we find that the request for additional signage on the northwest wall of the Albertville Plaza does not meet the criteria for variance approval and would recommend against the proposed request based on the findings of this report. Additionally, a determination should be made as to whether the existing sign should be permitted to remain since, at 140 square feet, it exceeds the 100 square foot size provision. At the current size it is well below the 15% of wall area, which would have allowed up to 184 square feet. Allowing the 15% regulation to govern the signage allowed would be consistent with the outlet mall and would be permitted under the PUD provisions. The Planning Commission reviewed this request and they recommend the variance for additional signage be denied and that the existing signage be allowed to remain at 140 square feet. ( CITY OF ALBERTVILLE 7-1-02 City Council Findings of Fact & Decision Applicant's Name: Arrow Sign Company for 2nd Wind Exercise Equipment Request: The applicant wishes to have additional signage of 200 square feet on the northwesterly wall of a multi -tenant building. City Council Meeting Date: July 1, 2002 Findings of Fact: Based on review of the application and evidence received the City Council now makes the following findings of fact and decision: 1. The legal description of the subject property is Lot 1, Block 1 Albertville Plaza. 2. The applicant has an existing wall sign of 140 square feet and one freestanding sign 75 feet in height and 200 square feet in size. 3. The Albertville Plaza site is not unique or does the site present a hardship that can be overcome by additional signage. The site already is afforded signage above and beyond a typical B-3 site through the PUD approval (i.e., the 75 foot tall freestanding sign and front wall sign). 4. The Council finds that the proposed variation is based in part on the desire to increase the value or income potential of the business. The applicants own description of need represents that this is one of the driving interests in pursuing the variance. 5. The Albertville Plaza building location allows the individual wall signs as well as the freestanding signs to provide excellent visibility to the building. As such, there is no physical hardship that is unique to this site which creates a need for additional signage. 6. The introduction of a 200 square foot illuminated wall sign on the northwest corner of the building would introduce additional lighting into the adjoining residential neighborhood. As such, it would have a negative impact on the adjoining properties and would be inconsistent with the intent of the conditions outlined in the original PUD agreement which state that no wall signage shall be allowed on the rear of the buildings facing residential zoned areas. Decision: Based on the foregoing considerations and applicable ordinances, the applicant's request for sign variance has been denied based on review of the criteria and the most current plans and information received to date. Adopted by the Albertville City Council this 1st day of July 2002.

The property owner has directed the lights down in the parking lot and has installed shields onto the wall packs on the building. The freestanding sign continues to cause some problems in that it is not being shut off on a regular schedule. The ordinance requires that the sign be off from 11:00 pm to 7:00 am when the business is not open. In addition, some of the neighbors questioned how the 75' signs were even allowed. Staff explained that the original PUD approved in 1987 and amended in 1988 allowed each business located in the PUD to have such a sign. When the PUD was amended in 2001 we were able to limit the number of signs at 75' to two with a total area of 400 square feet. The sign for 2Id Wind is 200 square feet in size and Culvers sign is 100 square feet with a blank sign for a future user. These two pylons and three signs use up the total area allowed by the PUD for the 75' signs. I believe the property owner has completed the work to modify the lighting on the building and in the parking lot. If the freestanding sign continues to be lit beyond 11:00 pm then the City may wish to pursue the penalty provision of the ordinance which allows misdemeanor citations to be issued following a 7 day notice. c.

Albertville, MN 55301 Dear Council Members: This letter is to confirm my resignation as mayor of the City of Albertville effective July 31, 2002. This decision was difficult to make and I delayed making it until absolutely necessary. The changes in my health have convinced me that I need to step back from a number of things. It would have been my preference to complete the term but recent health problems changed my mind. It has been my pleasure to serve the City and I hope in a small way I have made Albertville a better place to live and work. I want to thank all the council members, past and present, for working with me. You are hard working and dedicated individuals. One small favor I have to ask —that you notify me of the grand opening of the Coborns store. I would like to be in attendance when the new mayor cuts the ribbon. Thank you. Y s tru John A.
