Mayor Grabek & Orono Council Members <br />City Administrator Bernhardson <br />From:Michael P, Gaffron, Asst Planning & Zoning Administrator <br />Date: <br />Subject: <br />February 8, 1989 CDOKCIL MEFTiKG <br />#1330 Fullerton Properties, 880 Townline Road <br />Review of Proposed Entry Monument riB <br />List of Exhibits <br />A <br />B <br />C <br />D <br />E <br />F <br />Side Elevation <br />Dimensioned Side Elevation <br />Plan View in Relation to Roadways <br />Dimensioned Plan View <br />Proposed Corner Marker (Temporary Use Only) <br />Municipal Code Section 6.06 - Excerpts <br />CITY OF OftONO <br />Attached are plans for the proposed entry monument for thr ’'ainters <br />Woods Subdivision. The monument is proposed to be constru within <br />Outlot A, within the proposed road island. The structure appa* .ly will <br />have less than a 1* setback from the right-of-way line. The plaque portion <br />of the monument will be facing towards Town line Road, just the reverse of <br />the Coffin & Gronberg survey depiction (verified by applicant 1/7/89). <br />The entry and exit lanes on either side of the monument are proposed <br />at 14* paved width, and have a straight apron length of approximately 30* <br />back from the paved portion of Townline Road. <br />As staff has previously discusse'd, the Municipal Code contains no <br />standards for the type of island entry me lent proposed, nor for when such <br />a monument is located on a private buildxi*g lot. Municipal Code Section <br />6.07, Obstructions in Streets and Private Roads, Subdivision 4 states: <br />**Signs and Other Structures. It is a misdemeanor for any person to place <br />or maintain a sign, advertisement, or other structure in any street or the <br />right-of-way of any private road." Certainly the proposed structure <br />requires a variance to this Municipal Code Section, although the regulation <br />is not technically a zoning code matter and need not be the subject of a <br />public hearing. <br />Ordinance No. 54, adopted July 25, 1988, puts a new twist on the <br />approval process for improvements to private roadways such as that <br />proposed. Section 6.06, Subdivision 3 states that the Public Works <br />Director shall have the authority to refuse to issue a permit (for such <br />construction) when, in the judgement of the Public Works Director, the <br />requested construction would impose an unreasonable hazard to the public. <br />Such a decision may be appealed in writing by the applicant to the City <br />Council. The City Council shall have the power to affirm, reverse or <br />modify the decision of the Public Works Director.
