City Council meeting of 4/17/89 Page 5 T,H. #61 AND_COUNTY ROAD -8 SAFETY RESOL TION Consistent with the City Council's priority list, it appears appropriate to initiate some action to get other governmental agencies involved in the resolution of potential traffic problem at the intersection in question. This is the type of process that will probably involve not only the City, but the railroad, Washington County, MNDOT, and other agencies. Adoption of the resolution would at least open a dialogue between all the agencies involved. It does not appear that this is a problem that will be solved easily, and it is appropriate to at least begin the process for future discussions. McAllister made motion, Jesinski seconded, to adopt RESOLUTION 89-10, RESOLUTION REQUESTING TRAFFIC SAFETY ASSISTANCE FOR THE INTERSECTION OF TH 61 AND COUNTY ROAD 8 IN THE CITY OF HUGQ. VOTING AYE: McAllister, Jesinski, Olson, Vail, Atkinson VOTING NAY: NONE Motion Carried. RESOLUTION ON PROCESSING VARIANCES The City is continually being faced with requests allowing for garages exceeding the square footage permitted, and allowing garages to be located between the principal building and the roadway' In light of the fact that the City is in the process of changing its ordinance relating to these issues, the Council may want to consider establishing a formal policy on the administrative processing of these requests with subsequent ratification by the City Council. Atkinson made motion, Vail seconded, to adopt RESOLUTION 1989-11, RESOLU- TION AUTHORIZING ADMINISTRATIVE ACTION REGARDING VARIANCES FOR GARAGES AND ACCESSORY BUILDINGS. VOTING AYE: McAllister, Jesinski, Olson, Vail, Atkinson VOTING NAY: NONE Motion Carried. This matter was tabled from the Council meeting of 4/3/89. As per Council direction, the city staff has met with area residents and Mr. Thomas Frampton regarding possible code violations relating to his nursery/landscaping business located south of Sunset Lake and west of Round Lake' The property in question involves approximately 30 acres, and is controlled by a Special Use Permit and site plan approved in 1977, as well as other municipal ordinances. In reviewing the file on this SUP and activities taking place on site, it appears that Mr. Frampton is in violation of city ordinances with regard to the following: 1. Advertising signs have been located on site without securing the proper permits from the city.
