CASE NUMBER: 1304!81 <br />APPLICANT: City of Roseville <br />6 May 1981 <br />Pag e 4 <br />in our residential areas, which all communities have taken great pains to <br />attempt to protect by the adoption of numerous controlling ordinance <br />relating to residential development and occupancy. Once the investment <br />is made, and all the tubes are in place, it will be too late and perhaps <br />unreasonable to demand that they all be removed. Thus, it would seem <br />as though if a solution is to be evolved, the time perhaps is now. <br />9. Some general numbers on cost were elicited from the meeting including a <br />figure of $5.00 per hour paid to the motorized route carrier and a mileage <br />rate of $0.23 per mile. The costs relating to an at -door delivery, compared <br />with motorized delivery in tube under varying conditions is the cost <br />element most related to the general solution. perhaps this cast versus <br />benefit on the part of the consumer is the crucial question. Hopefully, <br />the Planning Commission and Council will be able to resolve a reasonable <br />solution with the cooperation of the newspaper representatives concerned. <br />10 T It would seem as though the hest solution in terms of service and minimal <br />aesthetic impact is one where the papers delivered to the door without the <br />presence of a newspaper tube at the curb. A compromise solution might <br />include the use of a single earth -tone colored unmarked tube placed one <br />per household, or perhaps shared by more than one (perhaps two) . A <br />townhouse project in Roseville, we are informed, utilized a sham box <br />system. The newspaper representatives in general, however, claim that <br />such a system results in frequent stolen and m.islocated papers for <br />individual customers <br />
