Introduction The City Council is being asked to authorize a limited use permit with the State of Minnesota Department of Transportation for the City’s monument sign located at the southwest corner of TH13/CSAH42. This permit is necessary to construct and maintain the monument sign in State right-of-way. History As part of the construction for the current CSAH42 improvements it was necessary to temporarily remove the City’s monument sign that was located in the southwest corner of TH13/CSAH42 to facilitate the construction of a retaining wall and ac- commodate changes to the grades in that location. Current Circumstances The CSAH42 improvements are nearing completion and it is now appropriate to reinstall the City’s monument sign. The location of the sign is within the TH13 right-of-way, so City staff contacted MnDOT to confirm what permission was needed to reinstall the sign. It was discovered that there was not a current per- mit in place for the original sign. It is therefore necessary to enter into a Limited Use Permit for the installation of the City’s monument sign within MnDOT’s right- of -way. Conclusion Staff recommends approval of the limited use permit as shown in the attached resolution. ISSUES: The limited use permit is a standard document which should have been in place previously to allow for its location within MnDOT’s right-of-way. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The monument sign will be maintained by the City similar to the other monument signs located throughout the City. No unusual fiscal impact is expected for the sign maintenance. 2 The installation of the sign will be completed by City staff, so no outside costs will be incurred for this work. ALTERNATIVES: 1.Consider Approval of a Resolution as Part of the Consent Agenda Authorizing a Limited Use Permit with the State of Minnesota Department of Transportation for the TH13/CSAH42 Mon-ument Sign, City Project No. TRN17-000001. 2.Remove this item from the consent agenda for further discussion.
