The City Attorney had also reviewed the changes recommended by the local firm, who is experienced in relief association bylaw work, and concurred and recommended that the City Council approve the bylaw changes. Leroux made motion, Haas seconded, to approve the bylaw changes as recommended by the City Attorney and K. Boston Legal Services. All Ayes. Motion carried. NO PARKING SIGNS ON 130TH STJFARNHAM AVE. Wilson Tool, 12912 Farnham Ave. N., requested the City of Hugo install `No Parking' signs on 130'h St. and Farnham Ave. In a letter to the City, Wilson Tool had sited a number of factors to support their request: parking on its premises was adequate to accommodate all employees; vehicular traffic had significantly increased with the opening of Fenway Boulevard and the new residential subdivision; deliveries within the industrial park had increased causing congestion, which was exacerbated by street parking, creating unsafe sight lines; and snowplowing and snow removal was difficult with on -street parking, especially on Farnham Ave., as it is a dead end street. This request was reviewed by Chris Petree, Public Works Director, who concurred with the safety concerns raised by Wilson Tool and recommended the approval of the request. Stoltzman made motion, Leroux seconded, to approve the installation of `No Parking' signs on 130'" Street and Farnham Ave. All Ayes. Motion carried. COMPANY SIGN FOR WILSON TOOL The City Council considered the request of Wilson Tool, 12912 Farnham Ave. N., to construct a monument sign, which would replace its existing company sign on the corner of 130'h St., and Farnham. The City's Building Official reviewed the request, and determined it met all requirements of the City's sign ordinance. Petryk made motion, Stoltzman seconded, to approve the new Wilson Tool Company sign as requested. All Ayes. Motion carried.
