-418- Case # 3 Update on Highway 47 Speed Study Background: In August of this year, MnDOT completed a routine speed study of the Highway 47 corridor though the City of Ramsey. The data was presented to the Public Works Committee. Discussion ensued and Staff was directed to investigate the cost to remove a hump that is located south of the intersection of 167~ Avenue NW and Trunk Highway 47.

Council Action: None Case # 4 Design of "Future Thru Street" Signs Background: Staff presented examples of the "Future Thru Street" sign that is being installed at the end of existing and proposed stub streets that are anticipated to be future through streets. After a brief discussion, a motion was made to stay with our current design of red lettering on white background. Council Action: Ratify the recommendation of the Public Works Committee. Case # 5 Consider moratorium on development for Highway 10 Corridor Background: Consideration was given to establishing a moratorium on development on the property north of Highway 10 and south of the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad. Concern was expressed about the existing moratorium on development for the possible new bridge crossing over the Mississippi River and whether there was any overlapping area to this moratorium. There was also discussion over the length of the term of the existing moratorium and questions relating to the total length of time a moratorium can last. A motion was made to recommend to the City Council to establish a moratorium on the land located between the existing Trunk Highway 10 and the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad which passed on a 4-1 vote. Community Development Director Sylvia Frolik wrote a case that is enclosed explaining the concerns that were expressed at the Public Works Committee meeting and a proposed Ordinance that would initiate the new moratorium. Council Action: Ratify the recommendation of the Public Works Committee. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I i I
