` "'T04 Minnesota <br />t6 Department of Transportation <br />Q District 9 <br />ti''oF rer�'yi 3485 Hadley Avenue North <br />Oakdale, Minnesota 55109 <br />May 9, 1989 <br />Mr. Donald F. Pauley <br />Clerk -Administrator <br />City of Hounds View <br />2401 Highway 10 <br />Hounds View, Minnesota 55112 <br />Dear Mr. Pauley: <br />SUBJECT: C.S. 6204 (TH 10) <br />Placement of City Signs <br />This is in response to your April 5, 1989 letter requesting an exemption <br />to Mn/DOT s policy limiting the placement of signs within highway <br />right-of-way, so that "city signs" could be installed along T.H. 10 <br />at the east and west entrances to your city. <br />On Friday, April 28, 1989, Mary LaPlante and Bruce Hall of our District <br />Traffic Office, met with Rick Minetor of the City of Hounds View, to <br />discuss the type of sign that the city Is requesting and to field review <br />the possible locations for these signs. <br />While the type of sign that the city is proposing is aesthetically <br />pleasing, we feel that due to its permanency, and in keeping with State <br />Statute, we cannot allow the installation of this sign on Trunk Highway <br />right-of-way. <br />In 1986, we allowed, by permit, the installation of a "Welcome To The <br />City of Hounds View" sign, on the east side of T.H. 10 between Rice <br />Creek and County Road H. In reviewing this location with our District <br />Right of Way Engineer, Adeel Lari, we find that the Possibility exists <br />for the city to purchase a parcel of land to the southeast quadrant <br />of the intersection of T.H. 10 and County Road H, as shown on the attached <br />sketch. Mn/DOT would be receptive to a reconveyance in this area, and <br />would conduct a formal review upon receipt of a written request by the <br />City of Mounds View. <br />Sincerely, <br />Kermit K. McRae, P.E. <br />District Engineer <br />Attachment: <br />M <br />An Equal Opportunity Employer <br />
