W., New Brighton MN 55112 <br /> 11 <br /> March 24, 2006 <br /> Matthew Fulton <br /> City Manager <br /> 803 Old Highway 8 NW <br /> New Brighton, MN 55112 <br /> Dear Mr.Fulton: <br /> Subject: Guide Signs to Local Churches <br /> We are writing to ask for the City's guidance in enabling us to place standard guide signs at various <br /> locations in the City that will direct visitors to our location on Seventh Street. Because of the many <br /> activities we share with the broader community and the number of weddings and funerals that we <br /> conduct,we frequently encounter people who have difficulty in finding us. We believe that this <br /> difficulty involves unnecessary stress in trying times but also a public safety concern if drivers are not <br /> sure of their route. <br /> Before we invest in signage we would appreciate learning what we should and should not do in order <br /> to guide people to our church. We have observed signs placed by other churches in New Brighton and <br /> other communities and would like to move forward with our own as a part of our current plan to <br /> expand communication efforts. <br /> Based on preliminary discussions to date with your staff and Ramsey County staff,we understand: <br /> 1. Silver Lake Road is a Ramsey County road. <br /> 2. Eighth Avenue NW at 7th Street is a City street <br /> 3. Current city codes are not clear as to placing signs of the type we are proposing <br /> 4. Placement on private property adjacent to the public rights of way would require consent of the <br /> property owners. <br /> 5. Placement of signs should include a prior Gopher One call to ensure that underground utilities <br /> are not damaged. <br /> Please let me know if you need additional information and whether we need to meet with you or the <br /> Council to complete this task. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> 62,4,1 <br /> '4 <br /> Pastor Paul Larsen, Senior Pastor <br /> Christ the King Lutheran Church <br /> 1400 Seventh Street NW <br /> CC: Mayor Steve Larson <br /> CTK Church Council <br /> GUIDED BY THE GOSPEL: GATHERING • GROWING • GIVING <br />
