Maurer stated he would contact Mn/DOT and let them know the access is no longer <br />needed He stated Mn/DOT would probably temporarily restrict the access until they could <br />come in later to eliminate it permanently. <br />Mayor Klinzing stated the sign ordinance allows the addition of an extra sign when there is <br />over 300' of frontage but doesn't address if there is 600' ox 900' plus.
