Request to encroach in the landscaping island within the Menomonee River Parkway, N. 96th Street, and Beverly Place intersection with a sign for the Swan Park Neighborhood Association.
B. Background/Options
The applicant is requesting to encroach in the landscaping island within the Menomonee River Parkway, N. 96th Street, and Beverly Place intersection with a sign for the Swan Park Neighborhood Association. The proposed sign is 36-inches wide by 18-inches tall and is shown in the attachments. It will be mounted on two legs by the sign manufacturer, Gietl Sign. The sign will be purchased by the Swan Park Neighborhood Association.
The applicant must obtain a Street Occupancy - paving permit through the Engineering Services Division. The permit application must include a proposed location drawn on an aerial exhibit and how many feet the sign will be located behind the back of existing curb. The Department of Public Works will review the application to verify that the sign will not be impacted by snow removal operation and meets all vision triangle requirements. The application must also include details regarding sign post installation. It does not appear that the proposed sign will be in conflict with any existing public utilities, but the applicant will be required to contact Diggers Hotline prior to installation. No permitting fees are required for placing poles or posts where the excavation does not exceed four square feet. An encroachment agreement must be fully executed prior to Street Occupancy permit issuance.
