Memorial Ave Reconstruction Staff would like to discuss with Counci he planned needs of the reconstruction of MEMORIAL AVE and 58th Street.STANTEC will be providing a asibility report cost estimate.A feasibility report scopes-out the general concepts, cost estimates and can include planned assessment policies and their impacts to each parcel. STANTEC will be providing this cost estimate at the meeting and delivering a short synopsis. 2. Update on Two County Projects: I have attended two meetings with Washington County Staff that I would like to bring the Council up to speed on: A) Updates to the Central Corridor Trail-way Planning This is a trail way the County is hoping to develop from 1-94,north through Lake Elmo Park Reserve and terminating at STH 36 and Manning. This will of course take years to develop and fund, but as the conversation around Manning and STH 36 evolves it is vital to pay-attention to it. (see the enclosed— trail concept locations) B) Updates to the County's continued discussion on Manning and STH 36 interchange. At the recent Open House,the County showed a number of different layouts for such an interchange and frontage roads. They hope to begin to narrow down these altematives into one or two preferred layouts and did begin that dialogue with staff from various cities in the Local Advisory Team. Generally speaking, much of these impacts are in Lake Elmo or Grant. However, there remains the discussion of a linking frontage road towards Memorial Ave.The City has expressed that it does support the interchange improvement and has no objection to a frontage road but shall be a County or State cost to construct and maintain. I have enclosed the provided power point and the Council might desire to discuss if it has a preferred layout as well. 3. Rooftop Signage—Consider Text Amendment Please see the enclosed summary memo from Scott Richards related to the request from Simonefs Furniture seeking a possible text amendment to allow roof-top signage. (In short,Staff does not recommend alteration to the current code). Page 3 of 36 4. City Entrance Sign. I have not had much time to really advance this significantly further from last month, but please note the following: A) The Council did not desire a rock sign but sought to have a sandblasted sign—of approximately 4' tall by 10'wide AND that incorporated the new bridge imagery in some fashion. B) For such design, I did reach out to Openwood Studios—the firm that make the City Parks signage, they then informed me that their firm does no longer have any in-house design services, which is necessary of course. I did then reach out to a sign company in St. Paul, Impression Sign and Graphics,that would develop some mock-up graphics at a rate of$90/hour. I approved up to three hours and I hope to have these on Tuesday afternoon. C) I did reach out to Developer Mr.Tim Nolde and inquired if he would be willing to sponsor up to%of the cost of the sign—up to$5,000. He did respond that yes, he would be willing to do so.This is of course very kind and he may desire it to state"sponsored or donated by°somewhere on the back of the sign,which seems reasonable at this stage. 5. Valley View Park Security Cameras The Council did inquire about costs for some security cameras to be positioned at the east side of Valley View Park. I did contact one firm that is known to have such capability(Electro Watchman)and they did provide a price quote for$9,645.23. Such a camera would be web-based, allow streaming to the City hall and storage internal drives at City Hall.These systems are not in-expensive in total,I did ask what we could get for$5,000 and generally it can be a similar system but will not have a remote /WIFI capacity. Their two quotes are enclosed. The Council could discuss alternatives as well such as the occasional placement of hidden game cameras, as we have done at Oak Park Crossing Park. 6. Tree lighting Event. Mayor McComber would like to further discuss a possible ceremonial tree lighting event and possible interim options.

I have notified City View Electric to send me a plan forthe up-lighting which will be coordinated with your ordinance.The plan will be forwarded to you shortly. In reviewing my request,I would hope the City will considerthe significant investment of$2.5M in our location and the revenue it brings to the community.Any further information or questions you have, please feel free to contact me. er , Mic ael L. Brien Page 31 of 36 TPC3601 Thurston Avenue N, Suite 100 Anoka, MN 55303 Phone: 763.231.5840 Facsimile:763.427.0520 TPC§P1annin9Co.com PLANNING REPORT TO: Eric Johnson FROM: Scott Richards DATE: June 21, 2018 RE: Oak Park Heights— Roof Top Signage— City Council Discussion TPC FILE: 236.01 — 18.02 BACKGROUND Simonet's Furniture has requested an allowance for roof top signage to place an Amish style buggy as an advertisement devise for the business. Any type of roof top signage is prohibited under the sign regulations. The buggy would be defined as a sign. Section 401.15.G.6 Prohibited Signs in any Zoning District includes Roof Signs as prohibited. Additionally, Section 401.15.G.7 Special Events prohibits displays or special features on any landscaped areas or on roofs. The Zoning Ordinance defines signs and roof top signs as follows: Sign: Any letter, word or symbol, poster, picture, statuary, reading matter or representation in nature of advertisement, announcement, message or visual communication, whether painted, posted printed, affixed or constructed, including all associated brackets, braces, supports, wines and structures, which is displayed for informational or communicative purposes. Roof Sign: Any sign which is erected, constructed or attached wholly or in part upon any roof or over the highest roof line of a building. ANALYSIS Allowing a buggy on the roof in this area may not seem as a significant issue, although once this type of advertising device is allowed on a roof, it will be extremely difficult not to allow others to do the same. A variance could be considered, but what are the practical difficulties (the sign ordinance already allows significant freestanding and wall signage) and once a variance is issued, what prevents the next business from asking Page 32 of 36 for the same? The City could consider an ordinance amendment, but how would these devices be defined and what regulations could be put into place that would allow only those advertising devices that would be acceptable to the community? Staff recognizes the following issues allowing advertisement devices on roofs: 1. It is difficult to define what an advertising device is that may or may not have text or a logo. An Amish buggy may seem acceptable, but is a fiberglass cow or gorilla appropriate in our business areas? Once one type of object is allowed it would be difficult to say no to another object. How would adjoining business owners react to allowing advertising devices on rooftops? 2. Would we allow these objects to be lit at night? How would that comply with existing lighting regulations? 3. If advertising devices were allowed on rooftops, would we also allow signs with text? 4. The owner would need to have a structural engineer sign off on allowing advertising devices or signage because of wind considerations. Many cities, including our current ordinance, have banned these objects on roofs because of safety concerns. CONCLUSION The City Council should provide direction to staff on this issue. It is Staffs recommendation that no changes be made to the sign regulations to allow roof signs with a text content or as an object. Additionally, it is recommended that no variances be granted. The City Council may also choose to ask the Planning Commission to provide a recommendation on this issue.
