RE: April 16, 1991 Council Agenda
DAKOTA COUNTY TECHNICAL COLLEGE - SIGN ORDINANCE AMENDMENT
The Dakota County Technical College approached the City last fall
to inquire about a permit for two electronic changeable message
signs. The college wished to place 21x 24' electronic signs upon
each of their entrance monuments, located on CSAH 42. Staff
review concluded the following:
1. Electronic changeable message signs were not
permitted in new sign ordinance.
2. The college was already in non-conformance of
permitted signage, by having two rather than one
freestanding signs.
3. Each existing freestanding sign (130 square
feet) was in non-conformance of permitted sign
area -- 80 square feet.
Staff informed the college that the permits could not be granted
without significant revision to the new sign ordinance. The
college requested an informal recommendation or opinion from City
department directors, before proceeding with an application to
amend the ordinance. At a "regular staff meeting" the department
directors recommended against the request on the basis of the
debate, time and effort which had gone into establishment of the
new ordinance, traffic safety and aesthetic considerations.
Based upon their own research and efforts to improve promotion of
the college and its outreach, the college decided to pursue an
amendment to the zoning ordinance. Staff recommended denial of
the petition, on the basis of the above findings and
recommendations. At its December 11, 1990 Regular Meeting the
Planning Commission requested that staff pursue changes in the
ordinance that could accommodate the college, yet minimize
conflicts.
Attached is Mike Wozniak's February 7, 1991 memo to the Planning
Commission. This memo summarizes staff's efforts to address the
current non-conformance of signs at the college and the request to
add electronic changeable message signs.

City Council Agenda - 4/16/91

We made no effort to increase the area of signage for the college.
We felt allowing freestanding sign areas to reach 130 square feet,
set a precedent for increased signage elsewhere. We did, however,
recommend that freestanding signs be permitted at each major site
entrance at post -secondary schools. This would allow both signs,
but they would remain non -conforming due to size.
In response to the request for the electronic signs, we suggested
adding a provision for a single freestanding electronic sign.
This provision is limited to the Public zoning District, and only
at post -secondary schools. Mike's memo also addresses the need
for additional ordinance clarification.
At its March 12, 1991 Regular Meeting, the Planning Commission
recommended approval of the revisions to the zoning ordinance.
Ron McKeaver, program supervisor at the college, has been the
City's contact during this process. He informed the Commission,
that the college would favor the proposed revisions, in lieu of
their original request for signage. Based upon the college's
offer "to allow promotion of City events," the Planning Commission
recommended the City Council pursue an agreement with the college,
if the ordinance amendment is adopted.
The attached ordinance represents staff's best efforts to
accommodate the applicant and minimize ordinance inconsistency.
These efforts do not address original concerns of traffic safety,
aesthetics and ordinance precedent. This matter was discussed
again at the department head's April 9, 1991 staff meeting. With
all due respect to the applicant and recommendation of the
Planning Commission, the original staff recommendation for denial
of the petition stands.

February 12, 1991 - REGULAR MEETING REVIEWS

2875 -145TH ST W.
ROSEMOUNT. MINNESOTA 55068
612-423-4411
ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT - ELECTRONIC CHANGEABLE MESSAGE SIGNS
Required Action: To either recommend approval or denial of the
text amendment to City Council. A third option for action by the
Planning Commission is to recommend further changes to language
which has been drafted.
Intermediate School District No. 917 (Dakota County Technical
College) has petitioned the City to consider a zoning text
amendment to allow the use of Electronic Changeable Message Signs
within the Public District.
Attached with this review are the following items:
1. Zoning Text Amendment Application form.
2. Sketch of proposed Electronic Changeable Message Sign.
3. Site Plan of Technical College indicating proposed sign
locations.
4. Literature describing Electronic Changeable Message Signs
submitted by Applicant.
This item was originally considered by the Planning Commission at
its December 11, 1990, Regular Meeting. At that meeting the
Planning Commission considered a staff recommendation to recommend
denial of the proposed Zoning Text Amendment to City Council,
however, the Commission chose to direct staff to draft language
necessary to amend the Zoning Ordinance to permit the use of a
Electronic Changeable Message Sign on the Technical College
Property.
Currently the City allows exterior "electronic reader boards" only
for use to display time and temperature or other public information
(Sec. 10.1 C13.).
The Dakota County Technical College desires to use Electronic
Changeable Message Signs to inform persons travelling to the
College and passersby about school events/happenings (i.e. open
House, Job Fair, Registration Dates, Graduation, etc.). The
Technical College has indicated a willingness to allow City and
County public service announcement/information to be displayed on
the proposed Electronic Changeable Message Sign(s). As indicated
on the attached sketch the Technical College proposes to add 48 sq.
ft. (2' x 241) Electronic Changeable Message Signs to two existing
freestanding signs on the Technical College property. The
Commission should note that the Technical College's existing signs
exceed the maximum size for freestanding signs in the Public
District. The existing signs are each 130 square feet in size
while the maximum currently permitted in the district is 80 square
feet.
The two most significant reasons why the City does not currently
allow the use of electronic reader boards except for display of
time and temperature are concerns regarding aesthetics and traffic
safety. A major concern is that the potential for widespread use
of electronic reader boards in conjunction with commercial signs
could significantly change the character of Rosemount's Commercial
Districts in a negative way by detracting from the "small town
character" so desired by Rosemount residents. At the time the
current zoning ordinance was adopted (September 19, 1989) concerns
were also expressed that the potential for widespread use of
electronic reader boards could pose a traffic safety hazard by
distracting motorists, bicyclists or pedestrians. The Planning
Commission should keep these issues in mind when acting on an
potential ordinance modifications which would permit the use of
Electronic Changeable Message Signs.
Despite being directed by the Planning Commission to proceed with
drafting the required language to modify the Zoning Ordinance it
is necessary for me to reiterate City staff has thoroughly
evaluated this issue and has concluded that it is not in the best
interest of the City to approve the proposed Zoning Ordinance Text
Amendment. Concerns include the fact that if the City relaxes
restrictions on the use of Electronic Changeable message signs in
the Public District there will likely be considerable pressure from
business owners to allow use of such signs in commercial districts.
The potential for negative visual impact and traffic safety
concerns would be more significant in commercial districts and
allowing the use of Electronic Changeable Message Signs in the
Public District would clearly establish a precedent which could
make it difficult to restrict the use of such signs in the
commercial districts.
As evidence to contend arguments regarding safety or appearance of
Electronic Changeable Message Signs the Technical College has
provide copies of a brochure published by the National Electronic
Sign Association. This brochure provides an overview on the
function, efficacy, and community value of electronic changeable
message signs.
If the City does wish to amend the Zoning Ordinance to accommodate
the Electronic Changeable Message Signs proposed by the Technical
College several paragraphs within Section 10 would have to be
amended.
First of all it would be necessary to include a definition for
Electronic Changeable Message Sign. Signs of this nature are
referred to in the current ordinance as electronic reader boards.
A preferred definition would be the following:
Electronic Changeable Message Sign: An electronically
activated sign whose message content, either in whole or in
part, may be changed by means of electronic programming.
If the ordinance were to be amended, staff would also recommend
that a definition to clarify the use of Electronic Changeable
Message Signs for display of time, temperature or other public
- information. For clarification purposes it would be advisable to
add the following definition:
Public Service Announcement: Any sign display intended
primarily to promote items of general interest to the
community such as time, temperature, date, atmospheric
conditions, public notices, news, etc. This does not include
any information which would be related to the products or
services located at the display site.
It would be necessary to amend Section 10.1 C. General Provisions
12., to read as follows:
12. No exterior sign shall pivot, move, rotate or display any
moving parts including Electronic Changeable Message Signs,
except as permitted in Section 10.2 E4., and Section 10.2
G3. Interior Electronic Changeable Message Signs visible
to pedestrians on the outside of buildings are allowed
only as permitted in Section 10.2 E4.
If the Ordinance amendment were to be approved it would be
advisable to amend Section 10.2 E. (Signs Allowed by Permit in
Commercial and IP Districts, subparagraph 4., to read as follows:
4. Changeable letter reader boards provided the sign area is
included in the total sign area permitted. Exterior
Electronic Changeable Message Signs not to exceed fifty
(50) square feet provided the sign area is included
in the total sign area permitted, only for display of
public service announcements. Electronic Changeable
Message Signs may be displayed from the inside of buildings
to be visible through windows by pedestrians. Maximum size
for interior displayed Electronic Changeable Message Signs
displayed in this fashion shall be determined by the
Planning Commission; in general, such displays should be
limited to a size which does not represent a distraction
to passing motorists.
It would be necessary to amend Section 10.2 G1., to read as
follows:
1. One (1) freestanding sign for each principal structure or
major site entrance not exceeding eighty (80) square feet
nor twenty (20) feet in height.
3. For Colleges and Universities situated in this district in
addition to other permitted signs, one (1) freestanding or
wall mounted Exterior Electronic Changeable message sign
per public and institutional site not exceeding 50 square
feet nor twenty feet in height. An Exterior Electronic
Changeable Message sign may be incorporated into an
existing freestanding sign provided that the public and
institutional district size requirement for freestanding
signs is not exceeded.
Summary
The Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment referenced in this review would
allow the opportunity for the Dakota County Technical College to
utilize an Electronic Changeable Message Sign for the purpose of
advertising events or services located on the premises.
The language which has been prepared would not allow any further
expansion of the existing freestanding signs the Technical College
currently utilizes. The ordinance would be amended to allow one
freestanding sign at each site entrance rather than the current
limit of one sign per site. The current freestanding signs are 130
square feet in size versus the 80 sq. ft. size limit indicated in
the ordinance.
Staff would not recommend that the ordinance be modified to allow
an increase in size of the existing freestanding signs which are
already nonconforming by adding an electronic changeable message
sign. Options which exist for the Technical College are to bring
one of the existing freestanding signs into conformance with the
current ordinance size requirement of 80 sq. ft. and to incorporate
the electronic changeable message sign as part of maximum 80 sq.
ft. size. The other option which exists for the Technical College
is to create a separate freestanding Electronic Changeable Message
Sign which does not exceed 50 square feet or 20 feet in height.
The proposed language to amend Section 10 of the Zoning Ordinance
which has been drafted by staff would allow the Technical College
to utilize a single Electronic Changeable Message Sign of up to 50
sq. ft. in size. The language would not allow any further
expansion of the existing Technical College Signs which already
exceed the maximum of 80 sq. ft. currently allowed for freestanding
signs in the Public and Institutional District.
Although the language proposed by City Staff would not permit the
Technical College to install Electronic Changeable Message Sign(s)
exactly as proposed; it is the staff opinion that the language as
drafted represents a fair compromise which would not set a
precedent for enlargement of the existing nonconforming signs
already on the Technical College property.
The draft language to amend the Zoning Ordinance included in this
review was developed upon request of the Planning Commission. For
reasons previously cited city staff has recommended against
approval of the proposed zoning text amendment. At this point it
is the obligation of the Planning Commission to review the
amendment changes drafted by staff and to either recommend approval
or denial of the text amendment to City Council. A third option
for action by the Planning Commission is to recommend further
changes to language which has been drafted.

ANNUAL PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES - MARCH 12, 1991
Pursuant to due call and notice thereof the Annual Meeting of the Planning Commission was duly held
on Tuesday, March 12, 1991 at 5:00 p.m. Acting Chairperson Hathaway called the meeting to order with
members Edwards, Meyer and Busho present. Also present was Community Development Director
Dean Johnson.
MOTION by Edwards to approve the February 26, 1991 Regular Meeting Minutes as presented. Second
by Meyer. Ayes: 4. Nays: 0.
Community Development Director Dean Johnson advised that Planning Intern Cindy Carlson and
Comprehensive Guide Plan Update Consultant Fred Hoisington, Hoisington Group Inc., have been
compiling data for development of City Policies and a Land Use Plan for the Comprehensive Guide Plan
update. Mr. Hoisington and Ms. Carlson anticipate these draft documents will be ready for presentation
to the Planning Commission for review at the April 9, 1991 Regular Meeting.
Community Development Director Johnson reviewed with the Commission a request from Dakota
County Technical College, 1300145th Street East, for a Zoning Ordinance text amendment to allow the
use of an Electronic Changeable Message Sign on their property. Current ordinance provisions allow
exterior "electronic reader boards" only for display of time and temperature and other public
information. The Technical College wishes to use Electronic Changeable Message Signs to inform the
public of school events and has further indicated a willingness to also allow City and County public
service announcements/information to be displayed. Johnson reiterated staff's recommendation to deny
this request based upon objections expressed in thorough discussions by both Council and Planning
Commission in their consideration of sign ordinance modifications, potential negative aesthetic and visual
impact, traffic safety concerns and the potential for establishment of a precedent. However, at the
Commission's direction to attempt to accommodate the applicant's request to allow this use in the Public
District, staff has drafted a sign ordinance text modification which they feel represents the least impact
and ramifications to other districts.
Ron McKeaver, Dakota County Technical College representative, stated his awareness of the proposed
text language submitted by staff and expressed his endorsement of the proposed standards and
conditions. Planning Commission discussion ensued with Mr. McKeaver responding to several questions
of the Commissioners regarding sign dimensions and location, and message content, length and
interval/pause frequency details. The majority of the Commissioners appeared to be in consensus that
there is a need for improved advertisement for public awareness of the events that take place at the
Technical College and believed that the opportunity for City/County announcements would benefit the
Rosemount residents. There was further agreement that the draft text amendment, submitted by staff,
represented the least impact on other districts.
MOTION by Hathaway to recommend to City Council approval of a text amendment to SECTION 10
SIGNS of Ordinance B - City of Rosemount Zoning as submitted and to set a public hearing for
consideration of the text amendment. Second by Meyer.
Commissioner Edwards stated, for the record, his decision to take a negative position regarding this
request based upon the following: 1) his cognizance of debates and discussions taking place in
municipalities bordering Interstate 494 with respect to signage problems along this corridor and due to
his vision of growth within the City of Rosemount whereby he anticipates increased growth along County
Annual Planning Commission Meeting Minutes
March 12, 1991
Page Two
Road 42 which may necessitate and facilitate creating amendments, or exceptions, as growth continues;
2) his opinion that this type of advertisement is limited when there are so many other avenues of
advertisement media to pursue; and 3) his appreciation of the time and effort invested by planning staff
in researching this issue and the presentation of staff findings and department head comments; and,
therefore, he felt he could not oppose staff recommendation.
Vote on the MOTION: Ayes: Hathaway, Meyer, Busho. Nays: Edwards. Motion carried.
Should Council approve the pending text amendment to allow electronic changeable message signs in
the PUB District and a sign permit is granted to the applicant, Commissioner Busho suggested that
Council pursue some form of formal or informal agreement with the Technical College to allow the use
of the sign to publicize City events.
Acting Chairperson Hathaway opened the floor for further nominations for the positions of Planning
Commission Chairperson and Secretary.
MOTION by Edwards to close the nominations. Second by Hathaway. Ayes: 4. Nays: 0.
MOTION by Edwards to cast a unanimous ballot to elect Sheila Hathaway as Planning Commission
Chairperson. Second by Busho. Ayes: 4. Nays: 0.
MOTION by Edwards to cast a unanimous ballot to elect Al Meyer as Planning Commission Secretary.
Second by Busho. Ayes: 4. Nays: 0.
Community Development Director Dean Johnson discussed a proposed use of property located at 15280
South Robert Trail as detailed in correspondence received from Mr. Robert J. Regan of Osseo -
Brooklyn Bus Co. Mr. Regan is contemplating purchasing a portion of the property, consisting of two
structures, with the intent to operate a retail and wholesale distribution service of bus parts and, further,
to provide additional storage of ISD 196 school buses. The subject property is currently zoned C-4
which does not expressly address bus storage as a permitted use. Upon discussion and debate of the
proposed use, the Planning Commission directed staff to relay an administrative interpretation to Mr.
Regan, that the use does not conform to the district requirements of this Zoning Ordinance.
MOTION by Hathaway to adjourn. Second by Busho. There being no further business to come before
this Commission and upon unanimous decision this meeting was adjourned at 6:55 p.m.
