PLANNING REPORT

FROM: Scott Richards
DATE: March 5, 2015
RE: Oak Park Heights— Stillwater Motors -Variances for
Signage— 5900 Stillwater Blvd North
FILE NO: 236.02 — 14.05
BACKGROUND
The Planning Commission, at their February 19, 2015 meeting, continued the
discussion of the variance for an additional changeable copy sign on Highway 36. They
suggested that the Applicant consider incorporating the Collision Center sign with the
proposed 50 foot changeable copy sign at the northwest corner of the site. Since that
meeting, the Applicant has reviewed the sign plan for the dealership and proposes the
following:
1. All the signs approved by the City Council on January 13, 2015 will remain
the same.
2. A changeable copy sign on Highway 36, 50 feet in height and 184 square
feet maximum size. The Collision Center sign will remain as a separate
freestanding sign.
3. The Buick and Chevrolet wall signs on the north side of the building are to
remain.
Additionally, the Planning Commission asked City Staff to review other cities sign
standards, especially as it relates to car dealerships and other large development sites.
A discussion of those findings is found later in this report.

ISSUES ANALYSIS
Project Narrative. Mr. Raduenz has provided the following narrative that is also found
within Exhibit 1 of this report:
Stillwater Motors is requesting a variance for an Electronic Message (EMC) to be
installed in the northwest corner of the property.
We are requesting the additional sign (EMC) along Highway 36 for additional visibility.
The request for the pylon signage, to be 50 feet in height, and is requested in regards to
safety and visibility. By doing different height tests we have determined to have sight
lines above the trees, which will grow higher and wider, including other obstructions we
need to have the sign at a minimum of 50 feet. This height will allow drivers the ability
to see the sign easily and make proper lane changes and signals for safety while
traveling Highway 36.
EMC sign would allow Stillwater Motors to stay abreast of Modern Technology in the
Automotive Industry and allowing us to promote our business and products. By allowing
the EMC sign it would also minimize the need for temporary signs and banners.
We request that our signage allowance be increased up to 960 sq. ft.
Stillwater Motors portfolio is very unique, not only in size, 90,000 square foot facility, a
13 acre site with 6 Distinct Departments, more access roads and longer frontages roads
than other commercial properties. Stillwater Motors is one of the largest single tenant
business properties in Oak Park Heights. We really need to be judged differently than
other single tenant properties on our allowable signage. We should be judged more like
a multi-tenant property. Stillwater Motors operates 6 Distinct Departments-each with a
different reason for a customer to visit. Even the views from the 4 different roads, Hwy
36, Co. Rd 5, 58th St. and Memorial Ave. N. surrounding our property all offer vastly
different views of our property and the different departments we operate.
2
One of the alternatives we were asked to consider was to combine one of the existing
pylon signs (Collision Center sign) on the north side of the property with the new
proposed Electronic Message Center (EMC) sign. We have discussed this option
internally and really believe that the separate Collision Center sign is essential to our
signage and branding on the north side of the building. Our Collision Center is a major
Department of Stillwater Motors. It offers a primary and fundamental reason for
customers that are not currently shopping for a vehicle to visit us. Removing that sign is
not an option. Combining the EMC and the Collision Center Sign would confuse the
public into thinking this is a collision center only. The current Collison Center sign is an
expensive and attractive sign. The only other visual for that department is a small 31.3
square foot wall sign at the rear of the building.
The New Proposed EMC Sign to be located on the NW corner, the Collision Pylon Sign
and Chevrolet/Buick Pylon Sign are spaced at 400 feet and 320 feet respectively. The
signs are not stacked upon each other and they are all professional grade, attractive
and tasteful signs that enhance the image of our business and the surrounding
landscape. We do not believe our proposed sign plan along the north side of our
property will look like a bad sign row. The professional signs, surrounding landscape
and land contours, trees, elevations and setbacks will offer an attractive environment for
the location.
If the 50 foot height is not at all possible on the EMC sign, we can lower it to the 40 foot
height to be consistent with our Buick/Chevrolet sign being raised to 40 feet, previously
approved.
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-3, Highway Business and Warehouse
District in which automotive sales and service is a Conditional Use. The Applicant has
applied for signage variances to allow an additional changeable copy pylon sign greater
than 150 square feet, to allow for a 50 foot sign where a 30 foot sign is allowed, to allow
for a changeable copy sign that will not meet the requirements, and allow an increase in
the overall square footage of signage on site. The request is now for a maximum of 960
square feet of signage over the maximum of 760 square feet established by the
variance granted by the City Council on January 13, 2015. Review of the criteria for
variances is found later in this report.
Signage. The property is within the Destination Retail Highway Sign District which
would allow one freestanding sign of 150 square feet and a maximum height of 30 feet.
The 2005 variance allowed a total of 10 wall signs for the site. The overall allowable
sign area for the site would be 500 square feet.
3
Proposed Changeable Sign. The Applicant has proposed a new changeable copy sign
along Highway 36. The sign is proposed at 50 feet in height (30 feet allowed) and
would be 184 square feet in size. The regulations for electronic signs indicate that the
changeable copy portion of the sign shall not occupy more than 35 percent of the actual
copy and graphic area of a freestanding sign. The sign is proposed to be 100 percent
changeable copy. This sign would require a variance from the provisions for height, to
allow an additional freestanding sign (one allowed on site, this would put the total at
five), to allow for a sign greater than 150 square feet and allow for 100 percent
changeable copy. The Planning Commission should consider this request and
determine if a variance is warranted. The Applicant has indicated that the sign could
be lowered to 40 feet.
Allowable Sign Area.
Within the Zoning Ordinance provisions, the total allowable sign area on site, with the
wall and freestanding signs, would be 500 square feet. Currently there are 10 wall
signs with a total of 423 square feet. The proposed, approved and existing freestanding
signs will total 518 square feet for a site.
The Applicant has indicated that they propose not to remove the Buick and Chevrolet
wall signs on the north side of the building which total 184 square feet.
The resulting total signage on the site will be 941 square feet. The applicant has
requested a maximum total of 960 square feet. The variance approved by the City
Council on January 13, 2015 granted a total of 760 square feet.
Pylon Signage. The existing and proposed total of freestanding signage is as follows:
Sign Square Feet
Sign Message Height
Existing North Collision Center 25 80
Pylon
Existing Northeast Chevrolet/Buick 40 127
Pylon (Approved)
Existing East Pylon Chevrolet Truck 28 77

Sign Illumination. The proposed sign will be required to comply with the Zoning
Ordinance lighting requirements. Staff will approve the lighting specifications for the
signs at the time of permitting.
Sign Variance. Variance criteria are provided in Section 401.04 of the Oak Park
Heights Zoning Ordinance. The Planning Commission and the City Council should
review the following criteria and conditions to determine if the sign variances are
justified.
Review Criteria. The Planning Commission and City Council should make a finding of fact that the
proposed action will not:
a. Impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property.
b. Unreasonably increase the congestion in the public street.
c. Have the effect of allowing any district uses prohibited therein, permit a lesser degree of flood
protection than the flood protection elevation for the particular area or permit standards which are
lower than those required by State law.
d. Increase the danger of fire or endanger the public safety.
e. Unreasonably diminish or impair established property values within the neighborhood, or in any
way be contrary to the intent of this Ordinance.
f. Violate the intent and purpose of the Comprehensive Plan.
g. Violate any of the terms or conditions of Item 5, below.
h. Conditions for Approval. A variance from the terms of this Ordinance shall not be granted unless
it can be demonstrated that:
a. Undue hardship will result if the variance is denied due to the existence of special conditions and
circumstances which are peculiar to the land, structure, or building involved and which are not
applicable to other lands, structures or buildings in the same district.
5
II
1) Special cases may include exceptional topographic or water conditions or, in the case of an
existing lot or parcel of record, narrowness, shallowness, insufficient area or shape of the
property.
2) Undue hardship caused by the special conditions and circumstances may not be solely
economic in nature, if a reasonable use of the property exists under the terms of this Title.
3) Special conditions and circumstances causing undue hardship shall not be a result of lot size
or building location when the lot qualifies as a buildable parcel.
b. Literal interpretation of the provisions of this Ordinance would deprive the applicant of rights
commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same district under the terms of this ordinance or
deny the applicant the ability to put the property in question to a reasonable use.
c. The special conditions and circumstances causing the undue hardship do not result from the
actions of the applicant.
d. Granting the variance requested will not confer on the applicant any special privilege that is
denied by this Ordinance to other lands, structure or buildings n the same district under the same
conditions.
e. The request is not a result of non-conforming lands, structures or buildings in the same district.
f. The request is not a use variance.
g. The variance requested is the minimum variance necessary to accomplish the intended purpose
of the applicant.
h. The request does not create an inconvenience to neighboring properties and uses.
Due to the location of this business in that the building will have limited visibility from
Highway 36, the applicants have indicated that allowing only a 30 foot freestanding
would cause an undue hardship for their business and the ability of customers to locate
the building. A number of other businesses in the Highway 36 corridor have asked for
and received variances for signage height. This is the first time that the City has
considered a variance for a 50 foot freestanding sign. The site lines from Highway 36,
when traveling east do not justify the need for the sign height. It is doubtful that the 50
foot sign would be visible on the west bound lanes of Highway 36 and a much taller sign
would likely be required.
City Staff is concerned with the precedence of allowing a sign of this height. We do not
believe it is justified or necessary at this location. A 40 foot sign would be adequate,
similar to the request for the pylon sign that has already been approved.
City Staff does not have an issue with allowing the additional sign with a size of 184
square feet as long as the two wall signs are removed. The 960 square feet of overall
signage would be significantly more signage than allowed on any site in Oak Park
Heights.
Other Cities Sign Regulations. City Staff has reviewed other cities sign requirements,
especially those on highway corridors that have car dealerships. Please find attached
excerpts of the sign regulations for Burnsville, Inver Grove Heights, Lakeville and
Woodbury. The Burnsville, Inver Grove Heights and Lakeville regulations are similar to
what is currently in place in Oak Park Heights. When comparing the regulations, it can
be determined that Oak Park Heights is quite generous in its allowances when
compared to the other communities. Inver Grove Heights is the only community of the
four that includes a formula that factor in the size of building and lot in calculating overall
allowable sign area. It appears as though none of the Inver Grove Heights zoning
districts include an overall sign area maximum.
6
CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
If the Planning Commission agrees to recommend the requests for the variances, they
should consider the conditions that follow. City Staff does not recommend that the new
sign be allowed at 50 feet and recommends that signage should be removed or
incorporated so that the maximum signage for the site remains at less than 760 square
feet.
• Variances - To allow an additional changeable copy pylon sign greater than 150
square feet, to allow for a 50 foot sign where a 30 foot sign is allowed, to allow
for a changeable copy sign that will not meet the requirements, and to allow an
increase in the overall square footage of signage on site to 960 square feet.
1. All conditions of the Conditional Use Permit and Variance for Raduenz
Dealership Properties LLC approved July 26, 2005 and January 13, 2015 shall
remain in effect.
2. The proposed changeable copy sign shall not exceed 40 feet in height and 184
square feet in sign face size.
3. The Applicant shall remove the Chevrolet and Buick wall signs on the north side
of the building or remove an equal amount of signage so that the total signage on
site does not exceed 760 square feet.
4. The sign specifications and methods of illumination shall be subject to review and
approval of the City Planner at the time of permitting.
5. A landscape plan for the area around the new sign shall be provided to the City
and shall be subject to review and approval of the City Arborist.

City of Oak Park Heights,
Stillwater Motors is requesting a variance for an Electronic Message(EMC)to be installed in the northwest
corner of the property.
We are requesting the additional sign(EMC)along Highway 36 for additional visibility. The request for the

EMC sign would allow Stillwater Motors to stay abreast of Modern Technology in the Automotive
Industry and allowing us to promote our business and products. By allowing the EMC sign it would also
minimize the need for temporary signs and banners.
We request that our signage allowance be increased up to 960 sq.ft.
Stillwater Motors portfolio is very unique, not only in size,90,000 square foot facility,a 13 acre site with
6 Distinct Departments, more access roads and longer frontages roads than other commercial

We really need to be judged differently than other single tenant properties on our allowable signage.
We should be judged more like a multi-tenant property. Stillwater Motors operates 6 Distinct

visual for that department is a small 31.3 square foot wall sign at the rear of the building.
SERVICE& PARTS OPEN 6 DAYS A WEEK
COLLISION REPAIR CENTER
The New Proposed EMC Sign to be located on the NW corner,the Collision Pylon Sign and
Chevrolet/Buick Pylon Sign are spaced at 400 feet and 320 feet respectively. The signs are not stacked
upon each other and they are all professional grade,attractive and tasteful signs that enhance the
image of our business and the surrounding landscape. We do not believe our proposed sign plan along
the north side of our property will look like a bad sign row. The professional signs,surrounding
landscape and land contours,trees,elevations and setbacks will offer an attractive environment for the
location.
If the 50 foot height is not at all possible on the EMC sign,we can lower it to the 40 foot height to be
consistent with our Buick/Chevrolet sign being raised to 40 feet,previously approved.
Thank you,

To whom it may concern:
We are requesting the additional sign along Highway 36 for additional visibility. The request for the
pylon signage and the 50 foot in height is in regards to safety and visibility. By doing different
height tests we have determined to have sight lines above the trees and other obstructions we
need to have the sign at a minimum of 50 feet. This height will allow drivers the ability to see the
sign easily and make proper lane changes and signals for safety while traveling Highway 36.
With our current signage you have to be at the exit to see our business signage. This can make for
last minute improper lane changes and possible safety concerns.
We appreciate your consideration in this manner.
