VILLAGE OF LAKE ELMO, MINN. MEETING OF JUNE 24, 1974 submitted to the Village Office. The Pierres need not appear, again before the PZC. Minnesota Building Movers Association Bill Wacker Building Permit The MBMA proposed designating loth. ST., Co. 17 north of loth. St., and Co. 15 south of loth. St. as "major transportation routes" for the moving of large structures through Lake Elmo. Their proposal was included in a letter and accompanying map, dated June 6, 1974. Williams and Lyons reported the Council had discussed this letter and map, but was apparently unaware of the proposed use of Co. 17 between 10th. St. and 212. The moving of large structures through the "Old:Village" is thought by the PZC to be unfeasible because of existing low wires. Motion by Sovereign, second by Grace, to approve of the proposed route with the exception th&t we delete Co. 17 from loth. St. to Minn. 212 and we recommend the use of Co. 15 north from 10th. St. to 212 and 212 west to Co. 17, and thence northerly. Carried unanimously. Mr. Wacker wants to attach a garage to the east of his house in Sec. 13. The garage is to be located 8 feet west from the alley to the east, and 8 feet from the side yard lot line to the north. The adjacent garage to the north is 3 feet further east. The Old Village Ordinance #21. Sec. 57, defines sideyard set back for all buildings as 5 feet. No mention is made in the new codification of side and rear lot -line setbacks for garages. Motion by Dreher, second by Grace that we recommend that a variance be granted for issuance of the building permit. The variance allows the garage to be located no less than 5 feet from the side and rear lot lines. The PZC requests that a copy of the site plan be placed in its file. Carried unanimously. Motion by Williams, second by Sovereign, that B. Folz submit a new setback ordinance for residential zoning districts, The PZC will review the requirements for garage setbacks. Carried unanimously. Meeting adjourned at 10:45 P.M. Respectfully submitted, Todd R. Williams Acting Rec. Secretary MEMBER Gentlemene 0 Subjeott Placement of over d utility and cable television power lines, traffic signals and control signs. The Minnesota Building Mover's Association and the Heavy Hauling, Machinery Moving, Rigging and Ereoting Division of the Metropolitan Transfer Men's Association have joined together in a Traffic and Safety Program for our industries. We are aware that various state, county, and municipal governmental agenoies are permitting installation of overhead utility and cable television power lines at 18 feet, traffic signals and control signs at 16 feet heights from the street. The installation of these overhead lines, signs, and signals create traffic movement problems for our industries as well as others. After considerable study and many meetings with governmental officials, it was suggestedito us that we prepare and submit to the various interested agencies of government and to the Cable Television Industry "proposed" or "suggested" major transportation routes. Stich routes do not necessarily mean that these are the only routes or streets that will be used for moving buildings or oversize objects. These oversize routes should be regulated or controlled in a manner so that no overhead obstructions to travel would be located any closer to the streets than 24 feet. Traffic oontrol signs and signals could be installed with hinges (as has been done by the Highway Department in many areas) and not oreate any serious problems for any hauling industry. We respectfully request that you study these proposed or suggested major oversize routes and advise us if there is any reason which may make them unsuitable for such uses. We can, we believe, by working together, your agency and our industry, put together a program that will improve traffic flow, safety, and reduce costs and expenses for all concerned. Enclosed is a map showing the proposed major oversize moving routes. If you are included in the area of this map which is the first phase of this program we will look forward to your study and review of this proposal and your comments, sugges- tions, or recommendations. However, if you believe a meeting of the various parties is desirable, please let us know and we will be pleased to arrange a meeting.
