<br />ARDEN HILLS REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES <br />MARCH 29, 2004 <br /> <br />8 <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />Councilmember Larson asked instead of a "Local Traffic Only" sign, maybe they only needed <br />the sign that stated "No Right Turn". He pointed out that two signs in that area was confusing. <br /> <br />David McClung, 4370 North Snelling Avenue, stated he supported this "Local Traffic Only" <br />sign. He noted the problem was the people turning right out of the North Heights property. He <br />stated he did not believe there was currently a problem with people exiting off of Highway 96 <br />onto Snelling A venue to get to Hamline Avenue. He stated the problem was the traffic leaving <br />North Heights Church. He noted the question was the enforceability of the sign. He encouraged <br />thc Council to look at the issue of the "No Right Turn" sign and make it enforceable. <br /> <br />Councilmember Aplikowski asked how many other signs in the City did the Council need to <br />pass Resolutions on that were currently not enforceable. Mr. Filla stated it was required by State <br />law that all signs be approved by the City and most cities approved all of their signs with one <br />motion. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden stated she wanted a "Local Traffic Only" sign in this location. <br /> <br />Mr. Parrish suggested the following be added to the Resolution: Third Whereas, a "No Right <br />Turn" sign is a condition of North Heights 1984 Planning and Development approval and NOW <br />THEREFORE, be it resolved that the City Council approved the placement of the "No Right e <br />Turn" sign as generally outlined on Exhibit A. Mayor Aplikowski stated she would not agree to <br />this. <br /> <br />MOTION: Councilmember Holden moved and CounciJmember Rem seconded a <br />motion to approve Resolution No. 04-29, Approving a Sign Location on <br />North Snelling, the placement of the "Local Traffic Only" sign on the west <br />side of North Snelling Avenue, in the City's right of way, 25 feet south of <br />the North Heights Lutheran Church entrance. The motion failed (0-5). <br /> <br />Mr. Filla stated they could take action on this at their next Council meeting with a new notice and <br />revised Resolution. <br /> <br />Mayor ApIikowski stated the motion would stand and requested staff to research the location of <br />the "No Right Turn" sign and bring this back to the Council at their next regular meeting. <br /> <br />Councilmember Larson stated he would prefer the "Local Traffic Only" sign be removed. <br /> <br />Councilmember Grant asked staff to review this road to see if it is an MSA street and if MSA <br />allow "Local Traffic Only" signs on MSA streets. Mr. Moore replied it was not an MSA street <br />and therefore, would not be an issue. <br /> <br />Mr. Filla stated the current "No Right Turn" sign was not up to MnDOT's specifications and <br />therefore, it would need to be brought up to those specifications. <br /> <br />e <br />
