City Administrator Goeb explained the Public Works Department has proposed
to partition off a portion of the back room at the old City Hall for an office area. The
office presently used by the Fire Department would be converted into a storage room
for old files. Tim estimates the cost of the partition at $500 or less. The Council asked
that a sketch of the proposed construction be submitted to them.
City Administrator Goeb reported that the engineer for the Kollville Estates
project has indicated he would submit a written request for a time extension on the
Zoning Application for the Kollville Estates. That request has not been received by
the City. City Attorney Couri advised that, without the request for a time extension in
hand, the Council should make a decision regarding the plat at this meeting.
Franklin made a motion to adopt the Findings of Fact and Decision denying the
preliminary plat and CUP/PUD for the Kollville Estates, if the City has not received a
letter from the developer requesting a time extension prior to the expiration of the 120
day time frame associated with the Zoning Application. Vetsch seconded the motion.
All voted aye.
Planner Deb Garross reviewed the final plat of the Mooney Addition with the
Council. The drainage and utility easements have been changed slightly from the
preliminary plat in order to accommodate the Burger King site plan.
Gundersen made a motion to adopt the Findings of Fact and Decision approving
the final plat for the Mooney Addition. Franklin seconded the motion. All voted aye.
Duane Day explained the advantages and disadvantages of having snow guards
on the roof over the main entry of the fire hall. The Council agreed that snow falling
off the roof would likely cause less problems than having the snow melt on the roof
and dripping down, creating an ice buildup on the sidewalk below.
Franklin made a motion to leave snow guard off the roof over the main entry of
the fire hall. Gundersen seconded the motion. All voted aye.
Day reviewed his letter explaining why he recommends denial of Change
Orders # 10 and # 11. Mike Kranz, representing Shingobee Builders, believes that
Change Order # 10 is a valid request and should be approved, but after seeing the
additional information provided by Day, he agrees that Change Order # 11 should be
denied. Kranz would also like to negotiate several other changes at the fire hall.
ALBERTVILLE CITY COUNCIL
February 22, 2000
Page 3 of 4
Vetsch made a motion to table action on Change Order # 10 until the other
changes orders have been reviewed and are ready for presentation. McCormack
seconded the motion. All voted aye.
McCormack made a motion to deny Change Order # 11. Gundersen seconded
the motion. All voted aye.
Day reported that the floor of the fire hall apparatus bay has several
depressions which hold water. Mike Kranz has checked with the contractor who does
the epoxy coating and has been told that the depressions can be filled and repaired.
The company will be unable to start the work until early March. Day recommended
the areas be filled in as Shingobee proposes. The Council discussed the warranty on
the repaired portion of the floor. Kranz stated the manufacturer's one year warranty
would be valid from the date of completion.
Gundersen made a motion approving the filling of the depressions with epoxy
and requesting that Shingobee Builders offer an additional one year warranty on the
areas being repaired. Vetsch seconded the motion. All voted aye.
The Council reviewed and discussed the options for determining evaluation of
the Savitski property for the purpose of calculating park dedication fees.
Franklin made a motion to establish the Wright County Assessor's Office
evaluation for the purpose of calculating park dedication fees and accept $5, 520 as the
park dedication fee for Lot 1, Block 1, Sunrise Commercial Park. Vetsch seconded the
motion. Vetsch, Franklin, and McCormack voted aye. Gundersen and Olson voted
no. The motion carried.
The Council considered the request from the STMA Ice Arena for the City to
plow their parking lot on a fee basis. The consensus of the Council is that the City is
not in the snow plowing business and the request is denied.
The Council reviewed the letters from two businesses requesting that the Sign
Ordinance be amended to allow for temporary signs for uses other than grand
openings.
Franklin removed himself from the Council to avoid a conflict of interest.
ALBERTVILLE CITY COUNCIL
February 22, 2000
Page 4 of 4
Both business who are requesting a sign ordinance amendment state that
business has been adversely affected since their temporary signs have been required to
be taken down.
Gundersen made a motion to deny the request to consider amending the Sign
Ordinance. McCormack seconded the motion. Gundersen, McCormack, and Olson
voted aye. Vetsch voted no. The motion carried.
Franklin returned to his seat on the Council.
The Council established three priorities for the February 29t' Strategic Planning
meeting agenda as follows:
(1) Issues and concerns with border cities
(2) Transportation issues — Main Avenue, Country Road 19, Barthel Industrial
Drive
(3) Staff Planning Concerns
As requested by a potential developer, the Council a reed to tour the Liberty on
the Lakes development in Stillwater on Saturday, March 25 at 1:00 PM.
The Council agreed to meet jointly with the City of Otsego on Thursday, March
9`h at 7:00 PM at the Albertville City Hall.
Several Fire Department members discussed their concerns over protecting the
Outlets of Albertville building. They are requesting that lock boxes with keys to the
individual stores be placed on both the front and rear of the units. Sally Thompson,
the new manager of the mall property, was present for the discussion and indicated
that management wanted no responsibility for keys to individual stores. The Council
directed the fire department to meet with the mall manager to discuss how to meet the
fire department's needs.
Vetsch made a motion to adjourn at 9:40 PM. McCormack seconded the
motion. All voted aye.

RE: Albertville — Parkside Commercial Center
• Preliminary Plat
• Final Plat
FILE: 163.06 — 00.04
BACKGROUND
Pilot Land Development Company has submitted a preliminary plat and final plat for Parkside
Commercial Center consisting of a two- (2) lot subdivision of B-3, Highway Commercial Zoned
land. The site is located in the northwest corner of the CSAH 19/57th Street intersection within
Outlot B, Parkside Third Addition.
4
The Planning Commission reviewed this application on 10 June 194 and recommended
approval of both applications. The City Council granted preliminary plat approval for the two
lot commercial subdivision on 2 March 1998. The original subdivision application was
submitted concurrent with a proposal to develop a gas station/car wash facility on proposed
Lot 1. The site plans and CUP for the fuel sales and car wash operation were approved in
1988' as well. However, the applicant did not file the final plat of Parkside Commercial Center
within the 100-day time line required by the Subdivision Ordinance and therefore the previous
approvals for the preliminary and final plat are null and void. The Albertville Zoning Ordinance
also has a one-year time limit for CUP applications and because no building permit was taken '
out for the gas station/car wash, the CUP for the subject site has also expired.
The current application is for preliminary and final plat approval only. The applicant indicated
that a gas station use will likely file CUP and site plan applications in the near future for
proposed Lot 1. A separate application for site plan and CUP will be. required to locate such a
use on either of the B-3 zoned lots that will be created via the approval of this preliminary and
final plat. For reference purposes, the Planning Report prepared by Liz Stockman for the
original (1998) -plat and CUP applications is attached with this report.

15. Any other conditions as set forth by the City Council, City staff, City Consultants or other
agency responsible for review of this application.
DISCUSSION
The plans that were initially reviewed for this application were the preliminary and final plat
maps from the 1988 application as staff was advised by the applicant that the current submittal
was the same as the original submittal. However, the day of the Planning Commission
meeting it was discovered that the current preliminary and final plat plans (dated 1-18-2000)
were modified and different than the 1988 preliminary and final plat. The current (1-18-2000)
plans were distributed to the Planning Commissioners at the public hearing and the developer
identified the changes from the initial application. The Planning Commission felt comfortable in
making a recommendation for approval of the preliminary and final plats based upon the
revised plans and information discussed by the developer.
Our office has had the opportunity to review the current plans and suggests additional
conditions of approval which are outlined in the Executive Summary of this report and attached
with the draft City Council Findings of Fact & Decision for the preliminary and final plat of
Parkside Commercial Center. The following paragraphs will outline the changes that have
occurred between the current submittal and the 1998 approvals granted by the City.
The major change between the 1998 and current applications is that there is no CUP
application pending at this time for either lot. As such, the applications for review by the City
Council consist of only preliminary and final plat approval for a two lot, commercial (B-3)
subdivision. The applicant has provided conceptual site plan information on sheets 3 and 4 (of
4) of the preliminary plat. Although this information is useful, the preliminary plat is a legal
document and as such, any reference to site plan data should not be shown on the official
preliminary plat maps/plans. The applicant is subdividing the lots as opposed to the 1998
application which included a CUP review for a gas station/car wash use on proposed Lot 1. So
as to avoid confusion and to ensure that the preliminary and final plat documents are correct, it
is suggested that all site plan information be deleted from the preliminary plat. It should be
clear that approval of the preliminary/final plat does not in any way infer a site plan layout
approval. The following site plan information should be removed from the preliminary and/or
final plat maps includes: buildings, parking lots, pylon sign, concrete utility pads and driveway
curb cuts (with the exception of the 45' easement shown along the west line of proposed Lot 1,
Page 4
Block 1). It is further suggested that the preliminary plat be amended to show the applicable
building setback requirements for each lot (for B-3 zoned properties).
The 1998 approvals included a requirement for a joint access easement to serve both Lots 1
and 2. The location of this easement and the width of the curb cut (as approved by the City
Engineer) should be the only access shown on the preliminary and final plat maps. The other
curb -cut locations will be reviewed at the time that future site plans are submitted for the
development of each lot. It is premature to consider other curb cut locations at this time
because the building and parking lot layouts and specific uses for each lot are unknown. The
objective with the subdivision application is to provide access to each lot, which is
accomplished via the requirement of the joint (45-foot) ingress/egress access easement.
Several residents attended the Planning Commission meeting and voiced concerns about the
future development of the lots. The Planning Commissioners also noted concerns including
access locations, screening, headlights and site lighting, buffering and the overall appearance
of the future commercial buildings. Our office is of the opinion that many of the concerns can
be mitigated through the future site plan review process. The location of additional driveways,
screening and site layout should be determined based upon specific site plans, which may
require the driveways to be located in alternative locations and/or be subject to restrictions
such as right-in/right-out only. Until site plans are submitted, it is premature to consider
additional site access above and beyond the one central access and 45-foot joint easement.
The grading and drainage plan has been altered since the 1998 approval in that the storm
water management pond has been moved from the northwest to the northeast part of the Lot
2, Block 1. As of the result, the easement locations and drainage/grading patterns have
changed and should be reviewed and modified pursuant to the requirements of the City
Engineer. Additionally, the City Council adopted requirements for Storm Water Pollution
Control Plans and escrow on January 18, 2000. The Storm Water Pollution Control Plan
requirements apply to all subdivisions over five acres and as such, the applicant is required to
submit the appropriate plans and escrow, pursuant to the review and approval of the City
Engineer.
The final change associated with this project concerns the park dedication. In 1998, the City
approved the preliminary and final plat contingent upon the installation of a trail along CSAH
19. The preliminary plat indicates a 10-foot trail easement along the eastern boundary of the
plat however the applicant has not submitted the easement document with the final plat nor
indicated that the construction of the trail will be done as part of the plat. To ensure that the
trail is installed, it is suggested that the applicant provide an easement document for the trail to
be filed with Wright County at the same time as the final plat and development agreement.
Furthermore, it is suggested that the developer be responsible for construction of a 10-foot
sidewalk as a condition of final plat approval. A sidewalk is suggested in this location as
opposed to a bituminous trail because it will be located directly in front of the commercial
development. A sidewalk has a better appearance and will last longer than a bituminous trail.
The City Council will need to specify whether a bituminous trail or sidewalk is desired in this
location.

RECOMMENDATION
To assist the City Council in formulating its recommendation, a draft Findings of Fact and
Decision document has been prepared outlining the suggested conditions of approval for this
project. The decision to approve or deny the requested preliminary and final plat of Parkside
Commercial Center is viewed as a policy decision to be made by the City Council. The
Executive Summary of this report outlines recommended conditions of approval should the
decisions be made in favor of the developer.
ACTION REQUESTED
A separate motion to approve, deny or conditionally approve the preliminary and final plat of
Parkside Commercial Center is in order.

Albertville - Parkside Commercial Center CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
163.06 - 97.04
BACKGROUND
Pilot Land Development Company has submitted a preliminary plat and development plans for
a convenience store, gas station and car wash facility. The site is located in the northwest corner
of the CSAH 19/57th Street intersection within Outlot B, Parkside Third Addition. A 1.47 acre lot
is being created to accommodate the development and the remainder of the outlot in association
with Outlot B of Parkside 4th Addition is being replatted as Lot 2. A forty-five (45) foot access
easement is required over a portion of Lot 2 to access Lot 1. The property is currently zoned B-3,
Highway Commercial but requires a Conditional Use Permit for both the fuel sales and car wash
portions of the proposed development.
The preliminary plat has been revised since the Planning Commission recommended its approval
on 10 June 1997. The Planning Commission findings of fact from this meeting has been attached
for your reference.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation
The requested approval of two Conditional Use Permit's to accommodate the car wash and fuel
sales businesses which are proposed as part of the convenience store operation requires that
the Planning Commission and City Council consider the application in relation to established
zoning ordinance review criteria and Comprehensive Plan policies. The decision to approve or
deny the requested Conditional Use Permit's is viewed as a policy decision to be made by the
City Council. Should they find the submitted plans acceptable, it is recommended that the
following conditions be imposed:
The general, car wash, and fuel sales Conditional Use Permit provisions of the City Zoning
Ordinance are considered and satisfactorily met.
2. Detailed plans for the car wash and canopy structures have not been submitted and must
be reviewed and approved by the City Planner and City Building Inspector.
3. The City Engineer reviews and approves all grading, drainage, and utility issues outlined
in the SEH memorandum included as Exhibit J.
4. The 40 foot curb cut closest to CSAH 19 is reduced to 30 feet.
5. The five (5) foot setback to the car wash facility from the northern property line is found
acceptable to the City Council under the terms of the Conditional Use Permit or site plans
are revised to comply with the 20 foot requirement.
6. The City Council finds the proposed parking arrangement acceptable, thereby allowing six
parking spaces to the counted at the fuel pumps. If an auxiliary business or fast food
operation will share the premises, additional parking will be required according to the
ratios in the parking section of the Zoning Ordinance.
7. The outside storage of materials, equipment and inventory shall be prohibited on the
subject property within front or side yard areas except for short term promotions of 30
days or less provided merchandise is neatly displayed and does not interfere with
handicapped accessibility or other site functions.
8. Detailed lighting plans are submitted which specify the style, height, strength/wattage and
distribution of lights proposed on the property. Plans shall include a photometric plan to
be submitted for review and approval by the City Planner, City Engineer, and City Building
Inspector which indicates the foot candle power of lights to ensure that they are in
compliance with ordinance requirements outlined herein.
9. The deciduous over story trees in the southwest corner of the property are specified and
a two year guarantee is provided for all vegetation.
Parkside Comm. Center Report - Page 2
10. Under the Conditional Use Permit, deviation from the landscape design standards section
will be necessary to allow plantings closer than three feet to the property line (on the west
side).
11. Park dedication requirements are satisfied with a cash payment equal to five (5) percent
of the City's calculated fair market value of the property, less the cost to install a 10 foot
trail as shown on the plan. Credit will be given toward future phases of Parkside
Commercial Center development for trail costs that exceed the dedication amount for the
current project.
12. Detailed wall and canopy signage plans are submitted for review and approval by the City
Planner as discusses herein.
13. The City Council determines the morning open time for the proposed facility which shall
be documented within the Developer's Agreement in association with the required closing
time of 11:00pm.
14. A shared access easement is established over the 45 foot strip shown on plans adjacent
to the subject site. An access agreement is prepared for review and approval by the City
Attorney.
15. The building floor plan and elevation drawings are revised to be consistent with the site
plans as they relate to the trash enclosure, service door, and signage areas. Any plans
to include a fast food operation within the facility are specified.
16. A developers agreement is prepared by the City Attorney and signed by the applicant
which addresses all platting and development issues identified herein.
17. The storage and handling of gasoline complies with requirements of the Minnesota State
Fire Marshall's office, Pollution Control Agency, and /or other applicable authorities and
any required permits must be kept on site and properly displayed.
Issues Analysis
Zoning. The property is zoned B-3, Highway Commercial which allows convenience stores as
a permitted use. However, commercial car washes (drive -through, mechanical and self-service)
and fuel sales are conditional uses within the B-3 District. A Conditional Use Permit for
commercial car washes may be approved provided that:
The architectural appearance and functional plan of the building and site shall not be so dissimilar to the
existing buildings or areas as to cause impairment in property values or constitute a blighting influence.
Plans for the car wash and canopy structures have not been submitted. Detailed drawings will be required and
must be reviewed and approved by the City Planner, City Engineer and City Building Inspector. These
structure should be complementary in materials to the principal building.
Parkside Comm. Center Report - Page 3
2. Magazining or stacking space is constructed to accommodate that number of vehicles which can be washed
during a maximum thirty (30) minute period.
Using the estimation that one car is washed every five minutes, the plan shows that the site is able to
accommodate a minimum of six (6) cars as is required during a thirty minute period and potentially up to twelve
(12) or thirteen (13) cars at a time. The stacking area is designed in such a manner to prevent interference
with site access, circulation, parking or pump islands.
3. At the boundaries of a residential district, a strip of not less that five (5) feet shall be landscaped and screened
in compliance with fencing, screening and landscaping requirements (Section 1000.7) of the City Zoning
Ordinance.
The proposed development is located across 57th Street from the Cottages of Albertville Senior Housing
residences and while not immediately abutting them, single family lots also exist to the west. Six foot
Cotoneaster shrubs have been located between the two 57th Street entrances in addition to two deciduous
trees which are not specked. Evergreen trees exist along the west boundary of Lot 2 to buffer the single family
neighborhood. See following paragraphs for more discussion of this matter.
4. Each light standard island and all islands in the parking lot are landscaped or covered.
Other than lights to be located on the buildings and pump islands/canopy (exact locations unknown), no other
site lighting has been shown on site.
5. Parking or car magazine storage space shall be screened from view of abutting residential districts in
compliance with fencing, screening and landscaping requirements (Section 1000.7) of the City Zoning
Ordinance.
The required screening along 57M Street will block the views of pump island and parking areas from the south
to the extent possible. See following paragraphs for more discussion of this matter.
6. The entire site other than that occupied by the building or planting shall be surfaced with blacktop or concrete
which will control dust and drainage which is subject to the approval of the City Engineer.
All drive lane and parking areas are to be surfaced with asphalt and curbed.
7. The entire area shall have a drainage system which is subject to the approval of the City Engineer.
Storm water drainage from the site is being directed via pipes to a ponding area in the northwest portion of Lot
2. The City Engineer will review and comment on the plan which must be approved by him after any required
changes.
8. All lighting shall be hooded and so directed that the light source is not visible from the public right-of-way or
from an abutting residence and shall be in compliance with Section 1000.10 (Glare) of the City Zoning
Ordinance. [This section requires that any light or combination of lights which cast light on a public street shall
not exceed one (1) foot candle (meter reading) as measured from the centerline of said street. Any light or
combination of lights which cast light on residential property shall not exceed four (4) foot candles (meter
reading) as measured from said property.]
Detailed plans have not been submitted which specify the style, height, strength/wattage and distribution of
lights proposed on the property. The fuel pump island canopy raises concerns relative to the glare of lights
onto the public right-of-way and neighboring residences. A photometric plan has not been submitted for review
as requested by the Planning Commission for review and approval by the City Planner and City Engineer. The
plan must indicate the foot candle power of lights to ensure that they are in compliance with ordinance
requirements.
Parkside Comm. Center Report - Page 4
9. Vehicular access points shall be limited, shall create a minimum of conflict with through traffic movement and
shall be subject to the approval of the City Engineer.
The City Engineer has required the 40 foot curb cut closest to CSAH 19 to be reduced to 30 feet. The shape
of the curb was changed to discourage cars from exiting the site at this location and it was agreed that a "no
exit" sign will be installed. Other driveway access and internal site circulation is acceptable from a planning
standpoint.
10. All signing and informational or visual communication devices shall be in compliance with the City's Sign
Ordinance.
Refer to following sections of this report regarding Sign Ordinance standards.
11. Provisions are made to control and reduce noise.
There is a discrepancy between the S:OOam opening time recommended by the Planning Commission
and the 7:OOam opening time required by ordinance. The City Council shall specify the desired
opening time.
The pay phone initially shown on the property at the perimeter curb has been removed at the request
of the Planning Commission, however, the applicant is requesting that a phone be allowed on the
exterior of the building.
12. The Conditional Use Permit provisions of the City Zoning Ordinance are considered and satisfactorily met.
a. The proposed action has been considered in relation to the specific policies and provisions of and has
been found to be consistent with the official City Comprehensive Plan.
b. The proposed use is or will be compatible with present and future land uses of the area.
C. The proposed use conforms with all Zoning Ordinance performance standards contained herein.
d. The proposed use will not tend to or actually depreciate the area in which it is proposed.
e. The proposed use can be accommodated with existing public services and will not overburden the
City's service capacity.
f. Traffic generated by the proposed use is within capabilities of streets serving the property.
The proposed project is consistent with all criteria under item (12) above with the exception of subpart (c).
While the project and site are capable of being in conformance with all Zoning Ordinance performance
standards, the submission of lacking plans/data and revised plans will be necessary.
The criteria established for consideration of a Conditional Use Permit for motor vehicle fuel sales
have been outlined as follows. It should be noted that some requirements are duplication of the
car wash criteria already addressed above and have been omitted.
Parkside Comm. Center Report - Page 5
A minimum lot area of twenty thousand (20,000) square feet and minimum lot width of one hundred fifty (150)
feet.
The proposed site encompasses 64, 033 square feet (1.47 acres) and is therefore in compliance with this
requirement.
6. Wherever fuel pumps are to be installed, pump islands shall be installed.
The site plan shows pump islands as required.

Except as expressly allowed by Conditional Use Permit, accessory buildings must conform to the
setback and height requirements of the zoning district in which they are located. The car wash
building is setback five (5) feet from the northern property line rather than the required twenty (20)
feet. The City Council must determine whether the deviation is acceptable under the terms of the
Conditional Use Permit and whether any additional conditions shall be required.
Outside Storage. The outside storage of materials, equipment and inventory as a principal or
accessory use shall only be permitted by Conditional Use Permit and is not allowed within front
or side yard areas. The Planning Commission recommended that outside storage be prohibited
on this convenience store site except for short term promotions of 30 days or less provided
merchandise is neatly displayed and does not interfere with handicapped accessibility or other
site functions.
Parkside Comm. Center Report - Page 6
Circulation. The proposed plans show two curb cuts onto 57th Street. The eastern curb cut
measures forty (40) feet from back of curb to back of curb and the western access measures
thirty-five (35) feet at the same point. The Zoning Ordinance requires that no curb cut exceed
twenty-four (24) feet in width unless approved by the City Engineer. Both curb cuts are
appropriately located five (5) feet from all property lines.
The City Engineer has requested that the 40 foot curb cut be reduced to 30 feet. The shape of
this curb was changed to discourage cars from exiting the site at this location and it was agreed
that a "no exit" sign will be installed. Other driveway access and internal site circulation is
acceptable from a planning standpoint.
The proposed convenience store, fuel pumps, and car wash are part of what will become a larger
commercial development, potentially inclusive of a strip mall and motel. The driveway along the
western border of the current plan is required for access into the remainder of the site. For this
reason, a 45 foot shared access easement must be established over a portion of Lot 2 as shown
on the preliminary plat.
Parking. The following parking requirements apply to the proposed development:
Convenience Store (4,239 sf)
1 space/200 sf 22 spaces
Motor Fuel Station 4 spaces
Car Wash 0 in addition to that required for the fuel station
TOTAL SPACES REQUIRED: 26
The submitted site plan shows twenty-five (25) parking spaces which could be striped on site plus
the pump area where cars "park" while fueling. Six (6) of the 25 spaces will not be striped unless
the need arises as shown on the eastern most portion of the parking lot. Under the Conditional
Use Permit the City may reduce the number of required off-street parking spaces when the
applicant can demonstrate that less spaces are needed. In such situations, the City may require
land to be reserved for parking should use or needs change.
It should be noted that the proposed ground sign allows space for an auxiliary business name
such as Dairy Queen which may be sold on the premises. If this is the case, additional parking
will be required for the food operation.
Building Type and Construction. The proposed convenience store structure is to be constructed
of decorative concrete block with an asphalt roof. Plans have not been received for the car wash
or pump islands/gas canopy area and must be submitted prior to building permit approval. The
current floor plan and elevation drawings are not consistent with the site plans as they relate to
the trash enclosure and service door areas. The elevation drawings indicate that these items will
face CSAH 19, while the site plan more appropriately shows this service area on the west end of
the building. Furthermore, it should be clarified as to whether the trash enclosure will be attached
to or detached from the building. Additional car wash and canopy area plans as well as revised
site and building plans shall be submitted for review and approval of the City Planner and City
Engineer prior to building permit approval of the project.
Parkside Comm. Center Report - Page 7
,9ignaae, The building occupant will be Conoco. The sign plans show a 26.3 foot high ground
sign to be located on the southeast corner of the property. The sign contains both fuel pricing
and franchise name as well as space for advertising of current sales and a site specific station
name (such as Al's Gas and Convenience or auxiliary food chain name such as Dairy Queen
which may be sold on premises).
Signs for automobile service stations are limited as follows:
Fuel Pricing Signs: 1 single or double faced per street frontage at 80 sf per face
Fuel portion of sign shown at 57.51 sf
Wall and Canopy Signs: Limited to 80 square feet total combined area
Wall /canopy sign details have not been submitted and shall be required as a condition of approval.
The exact location and sizing of wall and canopy signs is not known at this time.
Ground Sign: Limited to 125 square feet, 30 feet high
The Conoco and Jiffy Burger portions of the ground sign total 81.82 sf
Reader board: Limited to 32 square feet
Advertising space shown at28.75sf
Portable signs, pennants, streamers, flags (except the US flag) and all other signs are prohibited.
A detailed sign plan has not been submitted as required for the wall and canopy signs, however,
the general area of sign locations has been noted. A wall sign is desired upon the north and east
(CSAH 19) sides of the building as indicated on the elevation drawings and it is presumed that
at least one canopy sign is desired facing CSAH 19. Detailed sign plans should be submitted
which identify the location and sizes of canopy and wall signs and the colors, lighting and
materials of all desired signs.
It should be noted that during staff discussion of this project the applicant suggested that an
auxiliary sign for the convenience store was desired off -site within the Cedar Creek Industrial
Park in order to gain freeway exposure. This is not permitted under the City's Sign Ordinance
and therefore shall be prohibited.
Additional sign requirements have been indicated as follows:
Illuminated Signs. The Sign Ordinance requires that any illuminated sign located on a lot adjacent to or across
the street from any residential district which is visible from the homes shall not be illuminated at any time
between the hours of 11:00pm and 7:00am, when the use is not open for business.
The 7:00am open time does not conform with the 5:00am open time recommended by the Planning
Commission nor does it satisfy the applicant's desire to attract early morning commuters. The City Council
must resolve this issue.
Wall Signs. Not more than one (1) sign shall be permitted on the front (CSAH 19) side of a principal building.
If illuminated the source of light shall not be visible. Signs constructed of metal and illuminated by any means
shall maintain a free clearance to grade of nine (9) feet unless it is grounded.
Ground Signs. Not more than one (1) ground sign shall be permitted on any lot. Signs constructed of metal
and illuminated by any means shall maintain a free clearance to grade of nine (9) feet unless it is grounded.
No metal ground sign shall be located'within eight (8) feet vertically and four (4) feet horizontally of electric
Parkside Comm. Center Report - Page 8
wires or conductors. No ground sign shall exceed thirty (30) feet in height. Actual sign height is determined
by the grade of the road from which the sign gains its principal exposure (CSAH 19). Sign area applies to one
face of a two-faced sign, two faces of a four -faced sign, etc. The ground sign must be setback from property
lines a distance of ten (10) feet.
Canopy Signs. Lettering or letters shall not project above, below or beyond the physical dimensions of the
awning or canopy. Lettering or letters shall not be larger from top to bottom than twelve (12) inches. Lettering
or letters shall not denote other than the name and address of the business conducted therein and/or a product
or products sold or service rendered therein. Lettering or letters shall be included in calculating the maximum
sign area of the permissible wall sign.
Lighting. As mentioned previously, detailed plans have not been submitted which specify the
style, height, strength/wattage and distribution of lights proposed on the property. The fuel pump
island canopy raises concerns relative to the glare of lights onto the public right-of-way and
neighboring residences. A photometric plan shall be submitted for review and approval by the
City Planner and City Engineer which indicates the foot candle power of lights to ensure that they
are in compliance with ordinance requirements.
Screening and Landscaping. As specified previously, the site must be landscaped and/or fenced
to create a solid visual screen to a height of six (6) feet to buffer the adjacent residential
development across 57th Street. While six foot Cotoneaster shrubs and deciduous over story
trees have been proposed between the two entrances from 57th Street, it is not possible to create
a solid screen given the necessary ingress and egress points while still maintaining vehicular
visibility.
Required plantings include one(1) shade tree or evergreen tree and sixteen (16) ornamental trees
or shrubs. These requirements are in addition to required screening on site and have been
properly shown on the landscape plan. Under the Conditional Use Permit, deviation from the
landscape design standards section will be necessary to allow plantings closer than three feet
to the property line (on the west side).
Park and Trail Dedication. Park dedication requirements shall be satisfied with a cash payment
equal to five (5) percent of the City's calculated fair market value of the property, less the cost to
install a 10 foot trail as shown on the plan. Credit will be given toward future phases of Parkside
Commercial Center development for trail costs that exceed the dedication amount for the current
project.
State Permit(s) Required. The storage and handling of gasoline must comply with requirements
of the Minnesota State Fire Marshall's office, Pollution Control Agency, and /or other applicable
authorities. Any required permits must be kept on site and properly displayed.
Developers Agreement. A developers agreement will be required for the project to best facilitate
the shared access that is required and future adjacent commercial developments. In addition
specific requirements may be set by the City Council under the Conditional Use Permit and items
such as hours of operation must be defined.
Parkside Comm. Center Report - Page 9
CONCLUSION
The proposed convenience store, fuel station and car wash development is in conformance with
the majority of Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance criteria, however, there are several outstanding
issues to resolve. The decision to approve or deny the requested Conditional Use Permit's is
viewed as a policy decision to be made by the City Council. The Executive Summary of this
report outlines recommended conditions of approval should the decisions be made in favor of the
Conditional Use Permit's.
