6. Public Hearing – Consideration to approve an amendment to the Monticello Zoning
Ordinance, Chapter 4, Section 5 – Signs, for regulations pertaining to temporary
signs. Applicant: City of Monticello (AS)
A. REFERENCE & BACKGROUND
In February of 2011, the City of Monticello adopted an interim ordinance allowing for
the expansion in usage of temporary signage. The interim ordinance was extended for an
additional year in February of 2012.
The following table illustrates a comparison in flexibility allowed under the interim
ordinance. The complete interim ordinance, which includes other performance standards,
is also included with this report as Supporting Data.
Code Requirement Existing Ordinance Interim Ordinance
Signs Allowed Per parcel Per business, sign must be
located on parcel on which
business in located
Number of Signs per
Location
1 1 sign every 75 linear feet of
ROW, 1 sign per business
Number of Days (Annual) 40 Unlimited
Permit Required Yes Yes
The interim ordinance was adopted to allow the City an opportunity to analyze the
temporary sign issue over a period of time and determine potential amendments to the
permanent ordinance.
At this time, the Commission is asked to repeal the interim ordinance and make a
recommendation on temporary sign ordinance amendments relative to the City’s goals for
signage as a component of land use policy.
Staff is presenting a series of amendments to the sign ordinance which will allow for
expanded flexibility in the use of temporary signage. The recommendations are based on
interim ordinance analysis, which includes feedback from the business community,
permit data, violation information, and visual observations.
It is important to note that in the proposed amendment, as under the current ordinance,
all types of temporary signs are subject to the same base requirements – these types of
temporary signs include flags, changeable copy, placard signs (corrugated plastic signs),
etc. This consistency in standards provides businesses with flexibility in the types of
signs used and also minimizes confusion in administration and enforcement.

A table has been prepared to illustrate for comparison purposes the flexibilities proposed
under the new amendment.
Code Requirement Existing Ordinance Proposed Ordinance
Signs Allowed Per parcel Per business, sign must be
located on parcel on
which business in located
Number of Signs per
Location
1 1 sign every 75 linear feet
of ROW, 1 sign per
business
Number of Days (Annual) 40 150 Days
Size 32 sq. ft. 40 sq. ft.
Permit Required Yes Yes
In addition to the changes above, staff is proposing to allow expanded flexibility in other
temporary sign use areas as follows.
Subject to other provisions of Section 4.5(I), one (1) additional flag device
shall be permitted for a restaurant business with outdoor seating on for a
period of up to one hundred and fifty (150) days, to be located within or along
their outdoor seating area. Such signage shall not be limited by the provisions
of Sections 4.5(I)(1).
One (1) sign shall be allowed per street frontage on non-residential properties
when a property is seeking to hire or employ personnel, provided that:
o Sign may be up to forty (40) square feet in area.
o Sign must be on the property on which the business is located.
o Sign may not be located within a public right of way or easement.
The overall sign ordinance will also continue to allow the following temporary signage in
addition to the expanded flexibility above:
4.5(C)(6) – For Sale or Lease signage: One sign allowed per street frontage
when a property is offered for sale or lease. Non-residential parcels are allowed
two such signs when a parcel has more than 1000 linear feet of frontage. The
ordinance does not require a temporary sign permit and this signage is in addition
to other temporary sign allowances.
4.5(C)(7) - Sandwich board signs: One sign up to 30 square feet in size is
allowed within all business zoning districts for every business during hours of
3
operation. These signs do not require a temporary sign permit and are in addition
to other temporary signage.
o CCD businesses are also allowed to place a sandwich board on the
Chamber of Commerce plaza by special annual permit per4.5(C)(7). Staff
is therefore proposing to eliminate language listed in 4.5(I)(4), as that
provision has not been utilized since adoption and is difficult to
administer.
4.5(I)(3) - Grand opening signage: One additional temporary sign device shall
be permitted for a business on a one-time basis for a period of up to forty (40)
days to be utilized within six (6) months of the first day of the business opening
to the public. A temporary sign permit is required and such signage is in addition
to other allowable temporary signage.
4.5(H)(15) - Window signage: Unregulated.
To aid the Commission in their understanding of the amount of signage allowed on any
given parcel, staff has prepared an illustration of both a single-use and multi-tenant use
property situation.
Staff is also proposing to incorporate three other amendments which relate to
enforcement matters for temporary signage. These are regulations which stipulate that
temporary signs may not be placed within public rights of way or easements, requires the
permit holder to track the number of days used, and requires maintenance and durability
for sign materials.
The business community has been invited to attend the public hearing for this item
through a communication sent by the Monticello Chamber of Commerce. Feedback from
the business community was also solicited by the Chamber for inclusion in this packet.
B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
1. Motion to adopt Resolution #2012-108, recommending an amendment to Monticello
Zoning Ordinance Chapter 4, Section 5 for temporary signage, based on the findings
of fact in said resolution.
2. Motion to deny adoption of Resolution #2012-108, recommending an amendment to
Monticello Zoning Ordinance Chapter 4, Section 5 for temporary signage, based on
the findings of fact in said resolution.

C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of ordinance amendments as proposed based on the findings
of fact included in the resolution.
The interim ordinance was a valuable tool during a particularly difficult economic
climate. The interim ordinance allowed businesses to maximize their usage of temporary
signs and the City to gauge the impact of such usage. As a result or analysis completed
under the interim ordinance, staff believes that the recommendation for amendment
proposed strikes a balance between signage needs and unnecessary visual and aesthetic
sign clutter.

variety of messages.
(c) Signs can create traffic hazards and aesthetic concerns, thereby threatening
the public health, safety and welfare.
(d) The City's zoning regulations include the regulation of signs in an effort to
provide adequate means of expression and to promote the economic viability
of the business community, while protecting the City and its citizens from a
proliferation of signs of a type, size, location and character that would
adversely impact upon the aesthetics of the community and threaten the
health, safety and welfare of the community. The regulation of the physical
characteristics of signs within the City has had a positive impact on traffic
safety and the appearance of the community.
(2) Purpose and Intent
(a) It is not the purpose or intent of Section 4.5 to regulate the message displayed
on any sign; nor is it the purpose or intent of this section to regulate any
building design or any display not defined as a sign, or any sign which cannot
be viewed from outside a building.
(b) The purpose and intent of Section 4.5 is to:
(i) Regulate the number, location, size, type, illumination and other physical
characteristics of signs within the City in order to promote the public
health, safety and welfare.
(ii) Maintain, enhance and improve the aesthetic environment of the City by
preventing visual clutter that is harmful to the appearance of the
community.
(iii) Improve the visual appearance of the City while providing for effective
means of communication, consistent with constitutional guarantees and
the City's goals of public safety and aesthetics.

Section 4.5 Signs
Subsection (H) General Provisions
Page 238 City of Monticello Zoning Ordinance
(3) When a sign is considered to be non-conforming due to size, location, or other
factor, but represents a conforming use of land, such sign may be continued,
including through repair, replacement, restoration, maintenance, or improvement,
but not including expansion, unless it is considered to be abandoned as defined by
this ordinance. When a non-conforming sign has been damaged to an extent of
50% or more of its market value, such sign shall be considered to be abandoned if
no building or sign permit has been applied for within 180 days of the date of
damage.
(F) Enforcement and Penalties
Section 4.5 shall be administered and enforced in accordance with the provisions of
Chapter 7 of this ordinance.
(G) Substitution
The owner of any sign which is otherwise allowed by Section 4.5 of this ordinance may
substitute non-commercial copy in lieu of any other commercial or non-commercial
copy. This substitution of copy may be made without any additional approval or
permitting. The purpose of this provision is to prevent any inadvertent favoring of
commercial speech over non-commercial speech, or favoring of any particular non-
commercial message over any other non-commercial message. This provision prevails
over any more specific provision to the contrary.
(H) General Provisions
(1) Accessory Structures
Except as provided for by Section 4.5(D)(9), all signs shall be considered
accessory structures.
(2) Setbacks
All freestanding signs shall be set back fifteen (15) feet from any property line
abutting a public right-of-way and five (5) feet from any side or rear property line.
No sign may be located within a drainage and utility easement.
(3) Standards Adopted
The design and construction standards as set forth in Chapter 4 of the 1997 edition
of the Uniform Sign Code as may be amended, are hereby adopted.
CHAPTER 4: FINISHING STANDARDS
Section 4.5 Signs
Subsection (H) General Provisions
City of Monticello Zoning Ordinance Page 239
(4) Electrical Signs
The installation of electrical signs shall be subject to the State's
Electrical Code. Electrical service to such signs shall be

(6) Sign Interference
No signs, guys, stays or attachments shall be erected, placed or
maintained on trees nor interfere with any electric light, power,
telephone or telegraph wires or the supports thereof.
(7) Illuminated Signs
Illuminated signs shall be shielded to prevent lights from being
directed at oncoming traffic in such brilliance that it impairs the
vision of the driver and may not interfere with or obscure traffic
signs or signals. Lighting may not illuminate any adjacent
properties, buildings, or streets. Notwithstanding this provision,
LED (Light Emitting Diode) light displays may be installed
without shielding of the light source provided that:
(a) Unshielded LED light displays may only be located on
properties within the FBS, Freeway Bonus Sign District, an
overlay zoning district as defined in Section 3.7(G) of the
Monticello Zoning Ordinance.
(b) Unshielded LED lights are not installed in any area that abuts
residentially zoned property.

direct light towards residentially zoned property within 500
feet of the light source.
(d) Unshielded LED lights may not exceed a maximum
illumination of 5000 nits (candelas per square meter) during
daylight hours and a maximum illumination of 500 nits
(candelas per square meter) between dusk to dawn as
measured from the sign’s face at maximum brightness;
CHAPTER 4: FINISHING STANDARDS

(e) Dimmer Control. Unshielded LED lights must have an
automatic dimmer control to produce a distinct illumination
change from a higher illumination level to a lower level for
the time period between one half-hour before sunset and one
half-hour after sunrise.
(8) Permit Display
Signs requiring permits shall display in a conspicuous manner the
permit sticker or sticker number.
(9) Placement
No sign or sign structure shall be erected or maintained that
prevents free ingress or egress from any door, window or fire
escape. No sign or sign structure shall be attached to a standpipe
or fire escape.
(10) Structure
A freestanding sign or sign structure constructed so that the faces
are not back to back, shall not have an angle separating the faces
exceeding thirty (30) degrees unless the total area of both sides
added together does not exceed the maximum allowable sign area
for that district.
(11) Square Footage Calculation (Total Area = A x B):
(a) For wall signs, the area of a sign shall be that area within the marginal lines
created by the sign surface which bears the advertisement or, in the case of
messages, figures or symbols attached directly to the part of a building, which
is included in the smallest rectangular figure which can be made to
circumscribe the message, figure, or symbol displayed thereon:
(b) For monument signs, area shall be calculated as for wall signs. Structural
members of the sign, including supports or other decorative features shall not
be considered as a part of the measured sign area:

(17) Time and Temperature Signs
Within commercial and industrial zoning districts, an area not to exceed sixteen
(16) square feet within a freestanding or wall sign shall be allowed for display of
an electronic time and temperature sign subject to the sign provisions for the
zoning district in which the sign is located.
(18) Projecting Signs
Projecting signs may be allowed in commercial districts provided that:
(a) There is a minimum of eight (8) feet of clearance under the base of the sign to
the ground below.
(b) The sign does not project more than five (5) feet beyond the wall to which it
is mounted, may not project over any vehicular drive aisle or traveled portion
of a public or private street and except in the CCD, Central Community
District may not project over a public right-of-way.
(c) The area of the projecting sign is not more than fifty (50) percent of the
maximum area allowed for an individual wall sign in the respective zoning
district in Section 4.5(J).
(19) Dynamic Displays
(a) Findings
Based on studies related to the use of dynamic sign displays and driver
distraction, the City finds that dynamic signs, as defined by the zoning
ordinance, have a unique potential to create driver distraction, a major cause
of traffic crashes. As a result, the City has adopted special regulations that
relate to such signs. These regulations shall apply to all proposed dynamic
signage in the City, whether new or existing, conforming or non-conforming
at the time of adoption of this ordinance.
(b) Regulations governing Dynamic Sign Displays
(i) Dynamic sign displays shall have messages that change instantaneously,
and do not fade, dissolve, blink, or appear to simulate motion in any way.
Prohibited blinking signs shall include signs which are displayed as
continuous solid messages for less than the time required by subpart (iii)
of this subsection below. The exception to this regulation is the
allowance of messages that appear to scroll horizontally across the sign,
but are otherwise in compliance with the requirements of this ordinance,
including the definition of “scrolling signs”.

(vii) Applicants for dynamic sign displays shall sign a license agreement
supplemental to the building permit agreeing to operation of a sign in
conformance with these regulations. Violation of these regulations shall
result in forfeiture of the license, and the City shall be authorized to
arrange disconnection of electrical service to the facility.

(c) Interim Permitted Uses = I
An “I” indicates that a use may be permitted for a brief period of time
provided certain conditions are met, and a specific event or date can be
established for discontinuance of the use. Inability of the City ]o establish
conditions to adequately control anticipated impacts is justification for denial
of an interim permitted use. Interim Permitted Uses may also be subject to
special regulations as referenced in the “Additional Requirements” column.
(d) Prohibited Uses = Shaded Cells
A shaded cell indicates that the listed use is prohibited in the respective base
zoning district.
(e) Unlisted Uses
If an application is submitted for a use that is not listed in Table 5-1, the
Community Development Department is authorized to classify the new or
unlisted use into an existing Use Type that most closely fits the new or
unlisted use. If no similar use determination can be made, the use will be
considered prohibited in which case an amendment to the ordinance text
would need to be initiated to clarify if, where, and how a proposed use could
be established.

Suite 300
Minneapolis, MN 55416
Reference: Monticello, MN – WWTP – Revision A
Dear Tom:
As discussed during the November 20th, 2013 construction meeting, quoted on December 5th,
2013 and revised per the recent request of Ms. Shibani Bisson, we are pleased to offer the
following proposal to change the interface to the Huber Screw Press Control Panel to direct
Ethernet via fiber optic versus the current method of Data Highway Plus through a conversion
module.
A Two (2) Fiber Optic to Ethernet media converters for installation in the
Administration Building Telemetry Panel and the existing CP8300 to
provide an Ethernet path directly from the Huber Screw Press Control
Panel via existing spare fiber strands directly to the Wonderware SCADA
computers.
Presently we are unable to access the Huber Operator Adjustable setpoints
on the Wonderware SCADA computers. This proposed network revision
will allow setpoint control as well as monitoring similar to the functions
available from the local Operator Interface Terminal on the front door of
the Huber Control Panel.
Note: Item A uses two (2) existing spare fiber strands and assumes those
strands are functional.
B One (1) Lot of Field Labor as required to install and configure the new network
path and components.
C One (1) Lot of Engineering as required to update the project documentation.
Your net price for Items A through C, FOB factory with freight allowed to
jobsite including one (1) year warranty from date of startup (not to exceed
18 months from date of shipment).............$3,776.00 (plus tax).
January 9, 2014

Thank you very much for the opportunity of providing you with the above proposal, should you
wish to proceed with an order please sign on the space provided below and return a copy to this
office. Upon receipt we will immediately proceed with engineering drawings and equipment
release to manufacturing.
We look forward to hearing from you, should you have any questions please don’t hesitate to
