TO: City Council FROM: Jim And CUBJECT: Newspape Tubes .The Planning Commission at its July 1, meeting on a 4 aye and 3 nay I M vote,, recommended that the Council adopt an orainance w i h*ch would place certain restrictions on the use of newspaper tubes as follows: Tubes, boxes or receptacles intended for delivery of newspapers and advertising flyers, etc. shall be prohibited except as follows: I. Where such tubes or receptacles are attached to a how. or garage by the property owner or Where one such tube, box or receptacle, at the request of the property owner is pooned directly beneath the mail box on the same stand or post and i's colored in either dark brown or to match the mailbo 3. Where need is shown, a temporary permit may be issued at the property owner's request for more than one receptacle or mountija of the receptacle on a separate post, i Number 1 above would permit the property owner to attach a tube, supplied by himself or the newspaper company, to his home. It apparently was the intent of the Commission that the tube be painteda dark brown color as �rovided in num be r 2. Number 2 permits a tube to be placed on the same post as the maflbox,, with the owner's permission, The tube would be elther dark brown or a color ts match the mailbox, Number 3 would require a property owner to obtain a permit if more than one tube was needed or if the tube was to be mounted on a separate post, Although discussed by the Planning Commission, there was no specific recommendat * staff. ion on whether the permit would be issued by the Council or Also, the Commission did not indicate the duration of the temporary 6 t pe rml Exception number 3 could prove to be an administrative problem. There are areas in Roseville that have no mailboxes, and therefore, all of those homeowners would be required to obtain a permit for a separate post, Also, if the permit was temporary, there would need to be a process established for renewalS
