Municipal Consent <br /> HPDP/Scoping/Subject Guidance Mn/DOT <br /> Also, maintenance activities do not trigger the need for municipal consent. <br /> Examples <br /> Permanent Easements (such as Drainage Easements) require municipal consent <br /> (because they take permanent right-of-way). <br /> Roundabouts are used for traffic regulation and as a safety measure, and thus are <br /> exceptions that do not require Municipal Consent even if they involve permanent <br /> right-of-way taking. <br /> Roles and Procedures <br /> Municipal consent should only be requested from a city if it is required. (See Threshold Criteria <br /> above). <br /> Sometimes a city may choose to waive municipal consent on a specific project. In that case the <br /> city council must pass a resolution clearly identifying the project and waiving its right to <br /> municipal consent for that project. However, the typical municipal consent process is as outlined <br /> below. <br /> Procedure (for obtaining municipal consent) <br /> 1. Mn/DOT (District)submits to the city the final layout with a letter requesting city <br /> approval. The letter includes a good faith cost estimate of the city's share of the <br /> project's cost and the following (either in the letter or in an attached report): <br /> • project purpose <br /> • route location <br /> • short description of the proposed design of the highway <br /> • any additional supporting data <br /> 2. City schedules and holds public hearing (within 60 days of submittal). <br /> City must schedule within 15 days of receiving Mn/DOT's request for approval and <br /> must give 30 days public notice. <br /> 3. City passes resolution approving /disapproving (within 90 days of public hearing). <br /> After 90 from the date of the public hearing, if the city has not passed a resolution <br /> disapproving the layout, the layout is deemed approved. <br /> 2of5 <br />
