•
BACKGROUND
David Phillips, of Phillips Architects and representing Fury Jeep, has made application
for an Interim Use Permit to allow for automotive sales and service at 14702 60 Street
North. The intent is to operate a Jeep sales and service operation out of the existing
building on the former Denny Hecker dealership site at Highway 36 and Osgood
Avenue.
The property is zoned B -2, General Business District in which automotive sales and
service is a Conditional Use. The Applicant plans to occupy the existing building and
site until a new dealership facility or a substantial renovation is proposed. At that time
the required site and building updates would be made. In that this will be a temporary
facility for the dealership, the application is being processed as an Interim Use Permit
so that an end date can be placed on the approvals.

ISSUES ANALYSIS
Project Description. The description of project by Mr. Phillips within the project
narrative is as follows:
Background:
Leonard Investments, LLC is purchasing the property at 14702 60 Street North from
Wells Fargo Bank. The property has been an automotive sales and service facility in
the past. The most recent dealer closed the facility about 4 years ago due to severe
legal and financial difficulties.
Proposed Use and Zoning:
The proposed use for the property remains new and used car sales and service of
vehicles. There will be no body shop or paint booth at the new facility. The underlying
zoning is B2 General Business. This application is for an Interim Use Permit to re -open
the facility. Initially, Leonard Investments will operate a Jeep franchise at the property.
Proposed Timing of Future Site Improvements:
There are changes proposed to the frontage road and intersection of Osgood Avenue
and Highway 36. These changes are related to the construction of the new bridge over
the St. Croix River. Leonard Investments will propose plans for a new dealership facility
or substantial renovations to be started with 24 months after the final roadway plans and
City redevelopment guidelines are available.
Signage:
A signage plan has been submitted. The requested signage is less than allowed. Please
note that the Fury and Jeep signs on the front fascia are separate as a condition of the
Chrysler approval.
There is a request for a temporary display of a new Jeep displayed on a pile of boulders
with signage announcing the re- opening of the property.
Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan designates this area as Commercial
on the Proposed Land Use Map. The use of the property for automotive sales and
service is consistent with this land use designation.
Zoning Ordinance. The property is zoned B -2, General Business District in which
automotive sales and service is a Conditional Use. The Applicant has applied for
approval under an Interim Use Permit to occupy the existing building and site until a
new dealership facility or a substantial renovation is proposed. In that this will be a
temporary facility for the dealership, the application is being processed as an Interim
Use Permit so that an end date can be placed on the approvals.

•
City Staff has discussed the timeline with the Applicants and a three year limit on the
Interim Use Permit was agreed upon. The timeline could be extended by the City
Council prior to the expiration of the permit.
Section 401.05. Administration — Interim Use Permits outlines the allowances and
criteria for uses that are to be located on a property for a limited time period. The
criteria for the Interim Use are reviewed later in this report. The report also includes a
review of the Conditional Use Permit criteria for automotive sales and service. Even
though a CUP is not being considered, the criteria are relevant to the review of a car
dealership.
Parking and Traffic. There is adequate parking for a car dealership, customers and
employees.
Lighting. The existing light fixtures will not be changed at this time. Any new lighting
of the site or at the time of renovation the site will need to be in compliance with the
Zoning Ordinance and subject to review and approval of City staff.
Signage. A temporary signage plan has been proposed that would consist of two wall
signs on the facade facing 60 Street. Two other informational signs are on the west
elevation indicating service and the express lane for service. The signs are considered
temporary and are within the size limitations for this business. One freestanding sign is
proposed that will be 20 feet in height and consist of 53.5 square feet. Overall the total
square footage of site signage is 179.5 square feet.
The Applicants have proposed a display with a Jeep on a pile of boulders with signage
announcing the re- opening of the property as a vehicle dealership. The Planning
Commission should discuss if any additional limits on allowing this signage should be
placed on the approvals.
Trees /Landscaping. The Applicants are not proposing any changes to the landscaping
at this time. They do concede that maintenance of the existing plantings is necessary
and will contact the City Arborist for assistance in determining the maintenance
required.
Grading and Drainage. There will be no grading or drainage changes to the site. Any
grading and drainage issues shall be addressed subject to review and approval of the
City Engineer.
Mechanical Screening. Any additional mechanical equipment added to the building or
site will need to be screened in accordance with Zoning Ordinance requirements.
Trash /Recycling. The Applicants should address where trash and recycling containers
will be stored. The Planning Commission should determine if the containers should be
screened.

M ;
Design Guidelines. The reuse of the existing structure for a car dealership shall be on

for paint and possibly the removal of the shingled awning on the front facade. The
building changes will not be subject to Design Guidelines review.

PLANNING REPORT
TO: Eric Johnson
FROM: Scott Richards
DATE: February 6, 2013
RE: Oak Park Heights — Fury — Additional Signage -
Interim Use Permit — 14702 60 Street North
FILE NO: 236.02 — 12.08
BACKGROUND
Jim Leonard, of Leonard Investments (Fury), has made application for an Interim Use
Permit to allow additional signage at 14702 60 Street North. Originally the intent was
to just sell the Jeep brand at this location. Chrysler Group has indicated that the
dealership shall sell Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram vehicles out of this location. As a
result, the need to advertise each of the brands is necessary.
At the October 23, 2012 meeting, the City Council approved an Interim Use Permit to
allow the existing building and site to be used as a temporary facility for the dealership.
Approval of the use was granted for a period of three years, with the possibility of an
extension by the City Council. With that approval, the existing building and site was
allowed to be used until such time as a new building with site improvements would be
approved with a Conditional Use Permit.
The request for additional signage would typically require a variance. The application is
being processed as an Interim Use Permit in that the wall signage and the freestanding
sign structure at the main entrance would be temporary until a new building is
constructed.

Exhibit 5: Existing /Proposed Sign Sizes
ISSUES ANALYSIS
Project Description. The request is to add a 24 foot, freestanding sign structure at the
front entrance of the dealership building and increase the amount of wall signs to a total
of five. The previous approvals allowed for two wall signs on the facade facing 60
Street and two other informational signs on the west elevation indicating service and the
express lane for service.
Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan designates this area as Commercial
on the Proposed Land Use Map. The use of the property for automotive sales and
service is consistent with this land use designation.
Zoning Ordinance. The property is zoned B -2, General Business District in which
automotive sales and service is a Conditional Use. The Applicant has been granted
approval under an Interim Use Permit to allow for use of the building until a new
dealership facility or a substantial renovation is proposed. In that this will be a
temporary facility for the dealership, the application for additional signage is also being
processed as an Interim Use Permit so that an end date can be placed on the
approvals.
The previous approval granted a three year limit on the Interim Use Permit. If approval
is granted for the application for additional signage, it will be tied to the same timeline as
the previous approval.
Section 401.05. Administration — Interim Use Permits outlines the allowances and
criteria for uses that are to be located on a property for a limited time period. The
criteria for the Interim Use are reviewed later in this report.
Signage. The temporary signage plan that was granted by the City Council in October
of 2012 consisted of two wall signs on the facade facing 60 Street. Two other
informational signs were proposed on the west elevation indicating service and the
express lane for service. One freestanding sign was proposed that will be 20 feet in
height and consist of 53.5 square feet. The sign permit has been issued for the
freestanding sign, but it has not been installed.
The current proposal includes four wall signs in the front and one service sign on the
west elevation for a total of 114.4 square feet. The freestanding sign at the front
entrance will have a Fury sign that is 25.8 square feet. The freestanding sign that has
already been approved is 53.5 square feet. The total signage proposed for the site is
193.7 square feet. This is well within the overall allowance of 350 square feet for the
site.
The proposed freestanding sign at the front entrance is proposed at 24 feet. The sign
requirements allow a maximum height of freestanding signs at 20 feet. The applicant

m
should revise the plan to make the sign compliant with the Ordinance. Also, in that the
sign is a temporary feature, the applicant should consider whether this sign is at all
necessary. The Fury label could be placed above the front door of the building.
Design Guidelines. The reuse of the existing structure for a car dealership shall be on
a temporary basis. The building changes and the temporary signage will not be subject
to Design Guidelines review.
Interim Use Criteria:
Section 401.05.0 of the Interim Use Permit section specifies a number of criteria for the
review and approval of a use. A review of those criteria are as follows:
2. New Uses.
a. Conforms to all zoning regulations as otherwise applicable.
Comment: The use will be required to comply with Zoning Ordinance use
standards and conform with performance standards for improvements made to
the building and site.
b. The date or event that will terminate the use can be identified with certainty.
Comment: The use will be allowed to continue for three years from the date of
the initial City Council approval.
c. The existence of the use will not impose additional costs on the public if it is
necessary for the public to take the property in the future.
Comment: There should be no issues with public costs.
d. The user agrees to any conditions that the City Council deems appropriate for
permission of the use.
Comment: The applicant will be required to agree to the conditions in writing.
CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
Based upon the preceding review, City Staff recommends approval of the Interim Use
Permit to allow additional signage at 14702 60 Street North subject to the following
conditions:
1. The Interim Use allowances for signage shall be limited to three years from the
date of City Council approval of the Interim Use Permit for the dealership
(October 23, 2012). The applicant may request an extension of the
Interim Use Permit by the City Council prior to its expiration.

a ;
2. The City will not require conformance with the Design Guidelines as part of the
Interim Use approval.
3. The plan for the freestanding sign at the front entrance shall be revised so that
the structure is no more than 20 feet in height. The Planning Commission may
want to indicate whether the freestanding sign is justified in that it will only be
utilized for three years. In the alternative the Fury label could be placed on the
building facade.
4. The sign specifications and methods of illumination shall be subject to review and
approval of the City Planner at the time of permitting.
