-� MEMO
To: City Council and Planning Commission
From: Nancy Anderson
Date: September 21, 2010
Subject: Electronic signs
After the June 1 City Council meeting, the Council requested a work session to discuss
electronic signs.
History
Holiday Companies requested an ordinance amendment to allow electronic signs to
change every eight seconds. The Planning Commission recommended electronic signs
be allowed to change every 12 seconds, and the Council discussed the amendment and
referred it back to the Commission to consider a 20-minute message change. The
—� Planning Commission recommended to the City Council a 20-minute message change.
The City Council then continued the item to the October 5th City Council meeting.
Existinq Ordinance
The existing ordinance allows electronic signs in every district except in the overlay
district along Mainstreet, where the sign can change once every 24 hours. The overlay
district does not allow back lit signs.
Holidav Request
Originally Holiday Companies requested that electronic signs that are located with 370
feet of frontage on State and County roads be allowed to change every 8 seconds.
Planninq Commission Recommendation
The last Planning Commission recommendation was that the electronic signs may
change every 20 minutes.
Should the ordinance be chanqed?
Before considering the issues in the remainder of this memo, the City Council needs to
� determine whether they want the sign ordinance amended to allow electronic signs to
change more often than once every 24 hours. If the answer is no, then the City Council
should deny Holiday's request and leave the sign ordinance as it exists. If the answer is
yes, then there appears to be two issues: where electronic changing signs may be
located and the time duration of the message.
Where should the signs be located? �
The following are some ways to limit the number of signs:
• Distance from another electronic sign
• Frontage — determine some amount of feet
• Abutting State roads
• Abutting County roads
• Abutting State and County roads
• Abutting residential-zoned property on the same side of street
• Abutting residential-zoned property on the opposite side of street
• B-3 district
• Combination of the above
Most of the B-3 district abuts State and County roads. The County roads are: Blake
Road, Shady Oak road and Excelsior Boulevard. The State Road is Highway 7.
Limiting the electronic signs to State and County roads would eliminate only the B-3
area on 11 th Avenue in south Hopkins and one property on 17 Avenue.
Distance from another electronic sign, a frontage requirement and prohibiting abutting a
residential district will allow some businesses to have electronic changeable signs and
other businesses not to have them. �
Duration of inessage
Cities vary on the time the message can change. May cities use 20 minutes.
Otherissues
The proposed ordinance has a maximum size of 32 square feet. I would not
recommend a larger size. A smaller size could be the maximum. A limitation on color
is another option. An example is The Blake School sign, which has white message with
a black background.
Vadnais Heiqhts
Attached is an article regarding the City of Vadnais Heights amending their sign
ordinance to allow dynamic signs to change message every eight seconds. What was
interesting is that the Vadnais Heights City Council decided that changing a sign too
infrequently was also distracting.
�
� Additional information from applicant
Also attached is additional information from the applicant.
Proposed Ordinance
Below is the proposed ordinance from Holiday, except for the time duration. The 20
minutes is the recommendation from the Planning Commission.
570.44 Dynamic Changeable Copy Siqn

maximum illumination of .3 foot candles above ambient light levels as measured from
one hundred (100) feet from the sign's face. All signs with dynamic displays must be
equipped with an automatic dimmer control or other mechanism that automatically
controls the sign's brightness to comply with this requirement. If there is a violation of '"
the brightness standards, the adjustment must be made within one (1) business day
upon notice of noncompliance from the city.
Subd. 12. Malfunctioninq dvnamic siqns. Signs with dynamic displays must be
designed and equipped to freeze the sign face in one position if a malfunction occurs.
Signs with dynamic displays must also be equipped with a means to immediately

Re: Identification of eligible sites for effecti��e use of an Electronic Messa�e Center
The attached materials respond to the Planning Commission's request for information on the sites in the City a-here
effective EMC's ��ould be permitted under the standards of the proposed text amendment.As�ve agreed when�ve
met last Thursday [ ha��e done an initial analysis for you to revie���and pass on to the Commissioners.
The first attachment uses the City of Hopkins Zonin� Map from the ��ebsite to identify the locations of the areas in
the Ciry zoned B-3.
The follo�vin�pages provide a more detailed look,includin;parcel information from the County,at the fi��e areas
---� and the sites in those areas that��ould be potentially eligible for effective use of an EMC.The fi��e areas are:
1 11'�A�•enue&Ezcelsior Bl��d.
2 Shady Oak &Main Street
3 Hwy 7& Hopkins Crossroads
� H�vy 7&Blake Road
7 Walser
Detailed revie�vs�vere not prepared for the other areas in the City zoned B-3 for these reasons:
Area 3 south of H�vy 7.The B-3 district is south of H�vy 7 on 17'h A��enue.Cty 73 does not extend south of H�vy 7.
Area 5.None of these parcels have 370 ft of frontage.The auto repair north of 2^d Street has a combined 337 ft of
fronta�e on Blake Rd and 2°d Street.The Oasis has a combined 22�ft of frontage.The Bakers Square has 206 ft of
frontage on Blake Rd.If the redevelopment of the currently vacant Oasis and Baker's Square sites combines these
parcels,the redevelopment���ould have more than 370 ft of fronta�e.
Area 6.Blake Schools has acquired this limited B-3 area(�vhat I recal] as a former sen�ice station site)and
combined it into their parcel.The Blake parcel has more than 370 ft of frontage on Excelsior Blvd.Blake would be
eligible to relocate their sign from their entrance to the corner of Blake Rd.and Excelsior Blvd.
.—� Area 8.This part of Main Street is not a Count� or State Hi�hway as required by the amendment.
Area 9. 11'��Avenue is not a County or State Hi�h���ay as required by the amendment.
Also,«e respectfully request an amendment to our request to reduce the minimum fronta�e from the initially
proposed minimum of 500 ft of frontage to 370 ft.As I �vas calculating the frontage for the Auto Mall and Wendy's I
�
realiaed I did not use the correct frontage for the Holiday Stationstore.The reduced minimum of 370 ft rather than
500 ft will allo�v effective use of an EMC at Holiday and Tuttle's on Shady Oak Rd.
Reducin�lhe minimum qualifying frontage further��-ould include the additional properties as noted in the
descriptions of the qualifying areas.
I am encouraoed by the results of the revie�v.There were no surprises at the 370 ft minimum fronta�e. I think�ve
ha�-e been conservative and accomplished our goal of restricting the initial effective EMC's to only the most
commercially developed districts and to only the most compatible sites in those areas.
Thanks,
Mike

OVERVIEW
The purpose of this study is to examine the st�.isticai re!a;ionship between di�ifai
6i;lbnards and traffic safety in the�reater Rea�ir,g Arpa,B�rks Courty,Pennsylv�nia.
This study analyzes traffic and accident data along roads near 20 locations with
26 existing,digita(billbaard faces{see figure 1)with traffic volumes on roads
coliectively representing approximately 233 rnillion vehicles per year. The study uses
official data as collected,complied and recorded independentiy by municipal police
departments and the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation.
The study includes eight yeara a#accider.t data representing approximately
r� 35 thousand accidents near twenty locations in 8erks County. The billboards were
converted to digital format between Z005 and 2009 and afford periods of comparison as
long as 8 years{98 months).
Temporal(when and how frequentfy)and spatial(where and how far)siatistics are
summarized near billboards within multipie vicinity ranges as large as one-haif mile for
areas that are upstream and downstream of the biliboards. Subsets of daytime and
nighttime accidents and driver age are analyzed for before and after comparisons.
Additionally,an Empirical Bayes Method(EBM)analysis is performed to estimate the
number of accidents that could statistically be expected without the introduction of
digital signs. This method is the basis of the safety analysis and science-based,
predictive models introduced within the 2010 Nighwoy Safety Manua!of the American
Association of State Highway Official(AASHTd,Reference 14). This report establishes
benchmarks for the basis of accident records at pre-digital locations and also uses other
comparison sites in Reading.
The overall conclusion ofi the study is that the digital billboards in the Grealer Readin�
krea have no s'tatisticaily significU��t relationship with the�ccurrence of atcidents.
This study also finds that the age of drivers(younger/elderly}and the time of day
(daytime/nighttime)are neutral factors which show no significant increase in accident
rates near the digital billboards. The results are consistent for 6,8 and 10 second dwell
times(see Figure 2). These conciusions are based o��Police Department data and an
objective statistical analysis;th�daia show no significart�ncrease in accident ratcs.

FINDINGS
The Greater Reading Area of Berks County,Pennsylvania,is a unique opportunity for this
study about the statistical associations between digital billboards and traffic safety using
robust data-sets and analyzing multipie locations for periods of as long as eight years.
The overall ronclusion is that these digital billboards in Reading have no statisticaliy
significant relationship with the occurrence of accidents. This conclusion is based on
local Poiice and PennDOT data and an objective statistical analysis;the data show no
statistically significant increase in accident rates. This study aiso finds that the dwei(
time at 5,8 or 10 se44nds,the age oi Yhe driver(younger,�Eder}and the#ime of day
(nighttime,8aytime)are neutrat factars which show no increase in accident rates the
near digital biliboards along the local roads in the Greater Reading Area.
The specific conclusions af this study indicate the following.
• The b��or�arid�fier r�tes of accides�ts r-�ear ti3e twei�t•y digital t+illbc�arefs shaw an
11..1°r;:��trease within 0.5 miles of ail digital billboards over eight years near twenty
locations. Similar decreases and trends in both averages and peaks are observed for
both smaller and larger vicinity ranges,and for specific groups of locations by dwell
��
time.
• i he ae.ciclent sta�istics a�d metrics remai�consist�nt,exhibiting statisticaliy
insignificant variations at each of the digital billboards. The metrics inciude the total
number of accidents in any given month,the average number of accidents,the peak
number of accidents in any given month,and the number of accident-free months.
These conciusions account for variations in traffic-volume and other metrics_
•The statistical evaluaYion of the Empirical Bayes method and actual versus predicted
results show that the tota!s�rurriber of accidenks is a�praxirnateiy eq4ivatent ta whai
kvou[d b�ststisticaliy exp2cted with or withaut the introductio��s af tiigitai xechnolagy
and that the safety near this locations are consistent with the model benchmarked by
77 iocations within Berks County.
•The overall conc?usion of the study is that the�e digitat'aNlocsards in the Greater
Reading Area have rio statistically sigt�ificant re3a�iar�ship with the accurrc�nce af
accide�-�ts.
This study also finds that the age of drivers(youngerJelderly)and the time of day
(daytimeJnighttime)are neutral factors which show no significant increase in accident
rates near the digital billbaards. The r2sults are consistent for the 6,8 and 10 second
dweil times. These conclusion�are based on the coilected Police Department data and
an objective statistical analysis.
