CC Regular Session 4. 3. Meeting Date: 08/28/2012 By: Len Linton, Engineering/Public Works Information Title: Accept Resident Petition to Consider the Installation of a Stop Sign at 152nd Lane and Helium Street Background: On August 17, 2012 staff received a petition from residents in the neighborhood near the intersection of 152nd Lane and Helium Street. They are requesting the installation of a stop sign at this intersection (see attached maps). City Charter requires the Council to receive all petitions submitted at the next available meeting. Traffic related requests such as this are typically forwarded to the Public Works Committee for review and comment prior to coming before the City Council for final direction. The action item for this case is to accept the attached petition and forward to the Public Works Committee for Consideration. Notification: The organizer of the petition will be notified that this item is being placed on the City Council consent agenda to accept the petition. He has already been instructed on the process that is required to investigate the matter, and the approximate timing to complete the analysis. Observations: The petition has 5 signatures from residents near the intersection, including the properties on both sides of 152nd Lane NW. Staff has reviewed the signatures and compared them to the Anoka County property records and there appears be three signatures that match the property owner as identified in the Anoka County system. There is often a lag in updating the County system once a property transfers so this may be the case for these particular proprieties, but at this time staff is considering the petition complete with 3 confirmed property owner signatures. There are additional properties in the area that are not represented on the petition. Recommendation: Staff recommends accepting the attached petition and forwarding to the Public Works Committee for consideration. Funding Source: The investigation and analysis of this petition request will be accomplished utilizing staff time. Council Action: Motion to accept the attached petition, for the installation of a stop sign at 152nd Lane and Helium Street and forward to the Public Works Committee for consideration.
