The landscaping looks fine except for the following: 1. a mugho pine (evergreen shrub) at the northwest corner of the parking lot is dead - this plant should be replaced. 2. a spruce (evergreen tree) on the south side of the parking lot is dead - this plant should be replaced. The taller shrubs in front of the building could use some proper pruning, but this is a minor issue. iiiCathy Widin Wvlunicipal Arborist City of Oak Park Heights cc: Kris Danielson ragC i vl i EXHIBIT 4 4/26/2002 • • MEMORANDUM pc: Kris Danielson NORTHWEST ASSOCIATED CONSULTANTS, INC. 5775 Wayzata Boulevard, Suite 555, St. Louis Park, MN 55416 Telephone: 952.595.9636 Facsimile: 952.595.9837 planners @nacplanni ng.com TO: Kimberly Kamper FROM: Scott Richards DATE: May 2, 2002 RE: Oak Park Heights — Sign Ordinance Update FILE NO: 798.10 ENCLOSURE 3 Please find attached a copy of the existing sign regulations (Section 401.15.G.1 of the Zoning Ordinance) with shading and notations reflecting those sections that were discussed as part of the Ad Hoc Sign Committee review process.

It is our intent to allow the public to provide input throughout this process in that signage affects the residents and anyone who travels through or shops in Oak Park Heights on a daily basis. 401.15.G.

Special District Regulations. The following regulations refer to certain signs in all appropriate zoning districts unless otherwise specified. 1O.a ad -hoc committee comments. a. Motor Fuel Station. Signs for motor fuel stations shall be regulated by the single occu•anc business structure si• n • rovisions for the zonin district in which the station is located. In addition, motor fuel stations may also display signs which identify current fuel prices and car wash facilities. if fuel prices are displayed, all fuel prices must be depicted. Said signs shall be limited to a maximum of sixteen (16) square feet each and shall be limited to a maximum hei.ht of ei•ht 8 feet.

Multiple Occupancy Business and Industrial Structures. When a single principal building is devoted to two (2) or more businesses or industrial uses, a comprehensive plan for the entire structure shall be submitted and shall be of sufficient scope and detail to permit a determination as to whether or not the plan is consistent with the following regulations. Said plan shall be subject to the review and approval of the City Council. No permit shall be issued for an individual use except upon a determination that it is consistent with the approved comprehensive sign plan. The effect of said, comprehensive sign plan is to allow and require the owner of a multiple occupancy structure to determine the specific individual sign requirements for the tenants of the structure. As sign Locations and size, etc., may be of significant importance in lease arrangements between owner and tenant, it is the City's intention to establish general requirements for the overall structure only, thus providing the building owner with both the flexibility and responsibility to negotiate with individual tenants on their specific sign needs. 7.a.b.c ad -hoc committee comments. 1) The maximum individual sign sizes for multiple occupancy structures and individual uses which may display signs shall not exceed the maximum provisions for single or double occupancy structures in the same zoning district. *2) Multiple occupancy structures may display an area identification sign consistent with the applicable district provisions in Section 401.15.G. 5. of this Ordinance. Individual freestanding signs identifying the tenant's business shall not be displayed. 3) Except as provided in paragraph (4) below, individual tenants of multiple occupancy structures shall not display separate identification signs unless the tenants' business has an exclusive exterior entrance.

In any multiple occupancy structure qualifying as a shopping center, directory signs shall be permitted for each common public entrance. Each directory sign area shall not exceed a total of fifty (50) square feet and shall be located within fifty (50) feet of the common public entrance being served. The size of individual business identification signing within the directory shall be resolved during the site plan review process. Attention shall be given to the possible number of tenant or occupancy bays which may be served by the common public entrance for which the directory sign is intended. a. Maintenance. All signs, together with all of their supports, braces, guys and anchors, shall be kept in repair and in proper state of preservation. The display surfaces of all signs shall be kept neatly painted or posted at all times. Every sign and the immediate surrounding premises shall be • • • • maintained by the owner or person in charge thereof in a clean, sanitary, and inoffensive condition and free and clear of all obnoxious substances, rubbish and weeds. Notice shall be given to the Building Official of any change in sign user, sign owner or owner of the property on which the sign is located. b. Inspection. All signs for which a permit is required shall be subject to inspection by the Building Official. The Building Official, or designated agent, are hereby authorized to enter upon any property or premises to ascertain whether the provisions of this Ordinance are being obeyed. Such entrance shall be made during business hours unless an emergency exists. The Building Official may order the removal of any sign that is not maintained in accordance with the maintenance provisions of this Ordinance. 11. Permit and Variance Procedures. a. Permit Issued if Application in Order. It shall be the duty of the Zoning Administrator upon the filing of an application for a permit to examine such plans, specifications and other data and the premises upon which it is proposed to erect the sign. If it shall appear that the proposed structure is in compliance with all the requirements of this Sign Ordinance and all other laws and ordinances of the City of Oak Park Heights, the permit shall then be issued. If the work authorized under a permit has not been completed within sixty (60) days after the date of issuance, the permit shall be null and void. 18. a.b ad-hoc committee comments. b. Variances. In order to provide additional flexibility in the enforcement of this Ordinance and to alleviate hardship and injustice, the City Council, serving as the Board of Adjustments and Appeal, may, upon application, grant a variation from the terms of this Ordinance. Upon application, therefore, from the person seeking a permit for the erection or installation of a sign, the request for variance shall be processed in accordance with applicable provisions of the Oak Park Heights Zoning Ordinance, as may be amended. Additionally, the City Council serving as the Board of Adjustments and appeal, shall make a finding of fact that an undue hardship or injustice exists if a variance were not granted and therefore, may grant such variations based upon consideration of the following: 171a ad-hoc committee comments. 1) That particular physical surroundings, shape or topographical conditions of the specific parcel of land involved exist. 2) That the condition involved is unique to the particular parcel of land involved. 3) That the purpose of the variation is not based exclusively upon a desire to increase the value of income potential of the business involved. 4 That the alleged difficulty or hardship is caused by this Ordinance and has not been created by any persons presently having an interest in the parcel. 5) That the granting of the variation will not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other land or improvements in the neighborhood. 6) 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 police and fire departments of the City. c. Fees. Fees for the review and processing of sign permit variance requests shall be changed in accordance with the provisions of Section 401.08 of this Ordinance. • • • MEMORANDUM NORTHWEST ASSOCIATED CONSULTANTS, INC. 5775 Wayzata Boulevard, Suite 555, $t. Louis Park, MN 55416 Telephone: 952.595.9636 Facsimile: 952.595.9837 planners@nacplanning.com TO: Oak Park Heights Planning Commission FROM: Cynthia Putz -Yang / Scott Richards DATE: April 1, 2002 RE: Oak Park Heights — Sign Ordinance FILE NO: 798.10 A summary of comments made by the Ad -Hoc Sign Committee regarding issues that they had previously identified follows. The Committee suggested the following after review of sign ordinances representing cities located throughout the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area. Ad -Hoc Sign Committee Summary Comments 1. Number of Signs Allowed Per Business a. The committee favored the Burnsville regulations that limited the number of wall signs at two per business. They also were favorable to allowing additional wall signs by a conditional use permit, with the condition that added wall signs require a freestanding sign of only six feet in height (monument sign). b. The committee was favorable to allowing small building identification signs at the rear entrances to buildings to aid in deliveries. The committee felt that identification signs did not need to be illuminated because a security Tight at the back door would provide sufficient visibility. c. The committee wants to limit numbers of freestanding signs and allow only monument signs whenever possible. 2. Front/Rear of Business, More for Corners? a. The committee was favorable to allowing two wall signs with additional signs allowed by a conditional use permit as discussed above. b. The Apple Valley regulations for rear entrance identification signs was considered appropriate except that the committee considered a smaller sign area (maximum of two square feet) to be appropriate for identification. c. The committee wanted to require commercial business illuminated signs near residential areas to be turned off at certain hours. One time limit that was discussed was that signs should not be illuminated after 11:00 P.M. or close of business, whichever is later, for rear signs facing residential areas. 3. Square Feet Allowed Per Business a. The Burnsville regulations, with an increasing percentage of allowable sign based on building facade, was favored. b. The committee recommends that the Planning Commission consider whether a cap should be set on allowable sign area. c. The committee did not want to set the standards for freestanding signs based upon design or allowable speed limit of the adjacent street. The group favored requirements that followed zoning districts with a separate standard for the Highway 5 and 36 corridors. 4. Temporary Signs a. The committee discussed the need to continue permitting temporary signs and how to provide effective enforcement. This can be a staffing issue for a small City such as Oak Park Heights. b. Specific recommendations were not made about the example regulations. The Burnsville, Woodbury, and Roseville regulations should be utilized when re- writing the Oak Park Heights standards. c. The committee discussed allowing holiday signs to be displayed for not more than 60 days, which is an increase from not more than 30 days. Other cities allow holiday signs to be displayed 60 days. 2 • • • 1 • 5. Height Standards a. The committee agreed that the height of freestanding signs should vary by district and that separate standards could be provided for the Highway 5 and 36 corridors. b. Due to visibility of the Highway 36 frontage, the committee was favorable to further limiting the sign height in this area. Allowances could be made to increase sign height in areas where visibility is limited by a roadway overpass or topography. Special provisions could be allowed via a planned unit development approval to allow freestanding signs that exceed district standards. If taller signs are allowed, the committee would rather see a taller sign that includes multiple businesses rather than a taller sign for each individual business. c. The committee agreed monument signs should be used wherever possible and limited to six or eight feet in height. 6. Highway Signage Versus Commercial Areas Near Residential Areas a. The committee was favorable to a setback for commercial signage from residential areas but also felt all businesses should be allowed some signage, even if the business is located near a residential district. b. Limitations should be placed on illumination of signage with hours of operation specified in the ordinance. One time limit that was discussed was that signs should not be illuminated after 11:00 P.M. or close of business, whichever is later, for rear signs facing residential areas. 7. Single User Versus Multi- Tenant Signage a. The committee reviewed the Burnsville and proposed Lakeville standards for multi- tenant signage. The committee was favorable to allowing freestanding signs for shopping centers and business parks that identify the major tenants. b. Multiple tenant signs may be allowed on separate building facades within a maximum square foot allowance for the tenant and building as a whole. 3 8. Area Identification Signage a. Burnsville and Lakeville regulations related to area identification should be reviewed. The committee was favorable to freestanding and monument signage for large retail and business centers. 9. Residential Area Signage a. The committee discussed the provisions for home occupations and the current regulations that prohibit any type of signage. The committee favored allowing small, professionally done, non - illuminated signs for special home occupations. Permitted home occupations, where the general public does not come to the premises, would not be allowed signs. If signs for special home occupations are allowed, the committee favors copying the language currently used to allow signs for bed and breakfast facilities in Oak Park Heights. The committee also felt that the annual licensing of home occupations could include making sure the signs are in good condition. b. The committee favored more specific regulations on garage sale signs following examples from other cities' ordinances. The committee favors adding language about enforcement, possibly including a $10 fine. Section 10 -30 -12 of the Burnsville Ordinance provides an example of enforcement language. 10. Special Signage Allowances a. The committee suggests car dealerships should receive no special consideration for additional signage. The committee agrees that sign enforcement is important relating to car dealerships. 11. Gas Station a. The committee favors Woodbury's regulations, which allow signs relating to pumps, services, and gasoline price in addition to the signs allowed by the underlying zoning district. They raised as an issue whether there should be a limit on the total square footage of these signs or whether it should vary depending on the size of the gas station building. 4 • • • 1 1 1 • 12. Central Business District (CBD) a. The committee favors the current regulations, which prohibit pylon signs in the CBD, and does not recommend any revisions. 13. Reader Boards a. The committee favors calling reader boards "changeable copy signs," which are defined by Burnsville as follows: A sign or portion thereof with characters, letters, or illustrations that can be changed or rearranged without altering the face or the surface of the sign. A sign on which the message changes more than eight (8) times per day shall be considered an animated sign and not a changeable copy sign for purposed of this Chapter. A sign on which the only copy that changes is an electronic or mechanical indication of time or temperature shall be considered a "time and temperature" portion of a sign and not a changeable copy sign for purposes of this Chapter. This definition clarifies how often the message can change before it is defined as an animated sign. The committee discussed the need to limit size and number of changeable copy signs, especially considering the continued demand by fast food restaurants, hotels, and gas stations. They would need to be included in the overall sign number and allowable square foot limitations. Changeable copy and public information service signs could be further limited by minimum distance separation requirements. b. The committee favors calling time and temperature signs "public information service signs," which are defined by Burnsville as follows: A sign designating the current time and/or temperature on the exterior of a building or pylon so as to be viewed by the passing public from a public right of way. The number and size of public information signs would need to be within the total sign allowances for the site. c. The committee discussed some of Burnsville's regulations regarding changeable copy signs and favors requiring changeable copy signs to meet an eight -foot clearance requirement or be enclosed with a vandal - proof encasement. 5 d. The committee favors requiring electronic changeable copy signs to use white light for messages because red lights are hard to see in daylight. 14. Lighting Standards for Signs a. The committee raised as an issue whether the hours of illumination should be limited for all business signs or just for business signs adjacent to residential districts. Burnsville states, "Signs in all B -1 and B -2 Districts may only be illuminated during business hours, or until eleven o'clock (11:00) P.M., whichever is later." 15. Architectural Lighting Verses Signage a. The committee discussed that when lighting is used to illuminate g g architectural features, downlighting should be encouraged where possible and all lighting should be compliant with photometric limits. b. The committee es liked that the Burnsville Ordinance is specific about types of architectural lighting and amounts allowed. The Burnsville Ordinance states on page 70, "Illuminated architectural features or portions thereof, not defined as signage or a canopy sign, shall be applied at the rate of one -third (1/3) the architectural feature area toward the maximum allowable sign area permitted under Table A in subsection 10- 30 -15(A) of this Chapter. Illuminated architectural features shall include, but not be limited to, wall -, roof- and window - mounted neon, the wall surface between multiple rows of neon, illuminated sign bands, backlit canopies, awnings or wall banding features, etc." c. Some of the lighting described in the Burnsville regulations should not be allowed in Oak Park Heights. Page 4 of the Oak Park Heights Design Guidelines includes the statement "Also prohibited are building color wraps, neon and internally illuminated awnings." The Planning Commission should discuss which types of architectural lighting should be allowed. d. The committee suggested that the Sign Ordinance address the issue of lowering the intensity of sign or architectural signage lights when the business was closed. This should be balanced with the need for security lighting. e. Architectural lighting that uses the high intensity white lights should not be allowed. The lighting with a pink or yellow color is less objectionable. 6 • • i 16. Format of Sign Ordinance a. The committee suggests the format of the Burnsville Ordinance is easy to follow. b. The committee suggests in some areas the City's language needs to be clarified about whether the sign limit is per use, property, building, tenant, premises, etc. and clarify what those terms mean. 17. Variance Standards a. The committee does not suggest any changes to the variance standards. 18. Submittal Standards a. The committee favors being more specific about what needs to be shown on the sign plans, for example materials, lettering, colors, and illumination. b. The committee discussed that Stillwater requires q es photographs of the building face and the building faces of any adjacent buildings and 1 g discussed that when the building does not exist yet p hoto simulations are helpful. 19. Neon Signs a. The committee favors limiting neon window signs to 25 percent of the total area of the window in which they are displayed, which is consistent with the current limit on all permanent window signage. b. The committee suggested that if neon exterior signs are prohibited, the . . g p prohibition should not include back -lit channel letters that have neon bulbs. c. Traditional or reproduction historic signs on Central Business District businesses may be acceptable subject to City review. An example would be a marquee sign on a theatre. pc: Kris Danielson 7 Kris Danielson To: Dan Lindh; Ken Hooge; Tim Nolde; David Dye Cc: Scott Richards; Kim Kamer• Mark Vier ling u Kamper; � ,ring .b ject: Request est to Extend the Review Period: McKean West and Oakgreen Villas, Townhomes, and Apartments The City has received your request for a special meeting of the Planning Commission for May 23, 2002.

I own the property on the Northwest corner of Oak green and 58 street. I recently met with Mr. Tim Nolde from Anchobaypro,Inc. From what I understand, Mr. Nolde's company is developing the area west of our house. First of all I'd like to say that I'm aware of the fact that the counsel works long and hard at studying the impact and proper placement of these developments in this community. I have seen many of the meetings on television. I do believe you care and I know many of your decisions and consideration's are based on people and their particular situation's. Knowing this, I wish to present my situation and concern's to you. Let me start out by telling you a little history of my family. We have lived in this house for 31 years and have worked long and hard to pay off our mortgage and have always considered it as part of our retirement. My wife and I have raised two children in this home and our 20 year old daughter still lives with us. We have obviously enjoyed living here but have seen the winds of change coming. I am 58 and my wife is 55. At this age we are looking more closely at our retirement years and wish to plan where we will spend those years. I know this development behind us will be good for mangy new people moving into this community. I have no problem with progress and change. I do think that when a change this large is about to take place all around you, there should be consideration's made for those who have lived in this community for so long and will be greatly affected by this change. We knew this development was coming and have considered moving in the past. The problem we've had is, with all the talk and plans that have been presented in this area for so long, we have not been sure how we could even sell our house. One person in the neighborhood tried to sell their house and were inundated by investor's who wanted to pay little for their house to make big profits later on. They soon had to take the house off the market. We have not been able to make plans and work to see those plans come to pass. My wife and I have felt that we have had little or nothing to say about our own destiny for a number of years now. We were told on several occasions that our house and property were worth some fair money and that Presbyterian Homes would be contacting us to buy us out. From what we were seeing, that seemed so. Two houses in our small neighborhood were purchased and it looked like we would be approached soon. We waited and waited but no one called or came to talk to us about the purchasing of our house. A couple of years have past and still no contact. We have had to put our lives on hold now for years. This has been very frustrating and stressful on our lives. At the end of January, we received a letter from a Mr. Tim Nolde. My wife and I had never heard of Mr. Nolde or Anchobaypro, Inc. before. Tim informed us about a meeting coming up which was going to address our neighborhood. I called Tim and said I could not get to the meeting on that date. Tim said he would come to our house and talk to us personally. After talking to Mr. Nolde, my wife and I were even more frustrated than ever. We understood what he was telling us and it left us sick at heart. He told us his company was going to develop the property directly behind us and that he could not afford to p urchase our house because of lack of finances. He said the only way he could purchase our property was if his company received tax assistance through the City from a program called T.I.F. and that we could maybe get close to fair market value. Mr. Nolde kept eluding to the fact that we could also just stay in our house. He told us to be sure and come to the meetings and help push for T.I.F. assistance from the City otherwise he wouldn't be able to purchase our house. My wife and I felt like pawns between the City and this development company. All of a sudden our house and property value has dropped substantially. Mr. Nolde also told us that on that same day he was purchasing the Murray house alongside and behind us. Presbyterian Homes owns the old Nerhing house next to us. We now have become a lone house cut off from the rest of our neighborhood. To have a lone, single dwelling unit sitting here, surrounded by streets and multi- dwelling units, appears odd and out of place. It seems to us that this kind of structuring for development would not even be allowed by the City Planning Board. With the development behind and alongside and the possibility of Oakgreen Ave. being widened in the future, it looks a whole lot like a slow squeeze to us. We have been through a lot of emotional stress in the past few years over this situation and now it seems to have taken a turn for the worse. My wife and I are hoping that our representatives on the Planning Board will NOT vote to approve these site plans presented by Mr. Nolde until consideration is given to the residents who already live in the Oakgreen neighborhood. Thank you Mayor Beaudet for taking your valuable time to read my lengthy letter. If you wish to contact us, our phone number is, 439 -8441.

Press Release January 13, 1998 No Speed Limit in NYC: Study Finds NYPD Inaction= Anarchy on NYC Streets Drivers Run Little Risk of Enforcement: Pedestrians Pay Price �► Read the latest news about this issue. Though Commissioner Kelly's promise to crackdown on drivers with suspended licenses is welcome, it will not make pedestrians safer unless the police shift their traffic enforcement efforts from the highways to city streets. New research on NYPD traffic enforcement by Transportation Alternatives reveals that police traffic enforcement is so minimal that on an average day, fewer than 35 speeding summonses a day are given to the 3 million motor vehicles that ply New York Cities streets and avenues. Thus while deadly crashes like those that killed 2- year -old Federico Santos and 4- year -old Dejon Barra in Brooklyn last week are taking the lives of toddlers and elderly people on street corners and in crosswalks, the NYPD has been giving out 95% of its speeding summonses on the highways. This lax enforcement on busy city streets has fostered an atmosphere of recklessness in which cars routinely travel at 20 to 30 mph over the speed limit. Transportation Alternative's John Kaehny observes that "streets like Eastern Parkway in Brooklyn, and the Grand Concourse in the Bronx have turned into high speed )pedestrian killing zones. Drivers know there is no enforcement." SPEED KILLS In 1992, motor vehicles collided with pedestrians and bicyclists in over 17,000 reported accidents, resulting in at least 299 deaths and thousands of serious injuries. All of these collisions occurred on city streets or side walks. New studies ,:-,..from Europe show how speed makes accidents deadly. According to Britain's Transport Research Laboratory (TRL) only 5% of pedestrians struck by a vehicle y p y traveling 20 mph die, whereas 45% die at 30 mph and 85% die at 40 mph. I Enforcement of NYC's 30 mph limit is clearly a public safety priority. New York City's pedestrian environment has deteriorated to such a degree -- streets so dangerous that City Council members are considering a resolution demanding that the police actually enforce the 30 mph speed limit. The Council may also ask NYC Dept. of Transportation to begin posting the 30 mph limit. http:// www. transalt. org/ press /releases/980113speed.hhnl 5/8/2002 1 Itt rVIN. 1 / 1 1 _MUNI ti 1 1 V JDO; rreSS ICeleaSe; IVO OpeCU .1,11 111 IN Transportation Alternatives is a non-profit citizens group that promotes environmentally sustainable forms of transportation such as bicycling, walking and public transit.

Chace Administrative Services Division Manager Lary S. Nybeck, PLS- County Surveyor Deputy Director, Survey and Land Management Division Marvin Erickson Facilities Manager We appreciate the time you have spent considering the future of Northbrook Boulevard. Attached is information on potential Township costs and a possible schedule if a jurisdictional transfer to the County is made. We did review the existing alignment of the road and found that the horizontal curves do meet a 50 mile per hour design speed. This means that significant shifting of the road or "straightening" of curves may not be needed. Some changes may be warranted to avoid environmental features or minimize adjacent property impacts. Any improvement the County would proceed with will include an extensive public involvement process. We would work with the community to minimize impacts, and provide new benefits, such as a walking or bike trail and new landscaping. Please appreciate that until a final design is determined, which includes possible amenities mentioned above, engineering estimates are just that, estimates. This is the reason we have provided you with a range of possible costs. If you have any questions on this material, please feel free to contact me at (651) 430 -4304 or Cory Slagle, Design Engineer, at (651) 430 -4337.
