MEMO TO: MAYOR AND CITY COU\��NCCI{{ }��,�},�� <br />FROM: CLERK -ADMINISTRATOR <br />DATE: MAY 16, 1989 °� <br />SUBJECT: CITY SIGNS <br />As you know, the City recently sent a letter to Mr. Kermit <br />McRae of the Minnesota Department of Transportation <br />regarding permits for the placement of City signs on Highway <br />10 right-of-way at the east and west entrances to the City. <br />Attached please find a letter from Mr. McRae which indicates <br />that the Minnesota Department of Transportation would not be <br />:tilling to issue a permit for the placement of a permanent <br />sign on the right-of-way but would be interested in working <br />with the City to reconvey a small parcel of land on which <br />our current .sign is located and is at the intersection of <br />Highway 10 and County Road H on the northeast corner. <br />Discussions regarding the placement of a City sign on the <br />west end of the City revealed that no right-of-wav is <br />available for a sign and that our current City sign was <br />installed without a permit. Representatives of the <br />Minnesota Department of Transportation have suggested that <br />we contact the owners association at Knollwood Green to <br />determine the feasibility of placing a City entrance sign on <br />their property, directly off of highway right-of-way. <br />At this time, Staff is requesting Council direction as to <br />the acquisition of surplus land from the Department of <br />Transportation for the east entrance sign and communication <br />with the Knollwood Green owners association for the west <br />entrance sign. Should you direct us to pursue these <br />matters, Staff will be making appropriate contacts with the <br />two groups to determine the willingness of them to give us <br />the right-of-way and any costs that might be associated <br />thereto. Your direction in this matter would be <br />appreciated. <br />DFP/MJS <br />Attachment: <br />
