· Awnings, canopies and marquees must meet specific structural design <br /> requirements. <br /> <br />Staff searched the code for several other cities that have buildings in close proximity to the <br />right-of-way to get additional information. Hopkins requires a conditional use permit for <br />all canopies and insurance naming the city as an insured must be maintained while the <br />canopy is in place. St. Paul requires a permit for right-of-way encroachments excluding <br />awnings. <br /> <br />The area between the back of curb and the right-of-way in Ramsey Town Center has <br />planter boxes, boulevard trees, light poles and sidewalks above ground with a duct bank <br />for underground utilities. This style of development is clearly different than the traditional <br />standards found in the zoning code outside of the recently adopted Town Center sections. <br />Specific guidelines need to be adopted:to supplement and defme the vision shown in the <br />Town Center sections of the zoning code. <br /> <br />City staff recommended implementation of a:procedure for review and approval of right- <br />of-way encroachments, including aboveground and underground features. The City <br />Attorney should review the proposed policy. <br /> <br />Action: <br /> <br />Motion to recommend that the City Council direct staff to bring forward a policy regarding <br />right of way encroachment as recommended by staff. <br /> <br />COMMITTEE/STAFF INPUT <br /> <br />Reviewed by: <br />Assistant Public Works Director/Principal City Engineer <br />City Engineer <br /> <br />CC: 02/08/05 <br /> <br /> <br />
