• <br /> • <br /> May 5, 2000 <br /> To: The City of Elk River Planning Department <br /> From: Ridgewood Homeowners Association <br /> The attached pictures reflect the sign that the Ridgewood Homeowners Association desires <br /> to reinstall at the intersection of Proctor Road and Ridgewood Drive. The orange stake in the <br /> location picture is the Northwest corner of the right-of-way on the corner of Ridgewood Drive <br /> and Proctor Road. We request authorization to vary from the setback requirements and <br /> install the sign on the property line. Following the setback requirements would require trees <br /> to be cut and the sign would be lower in the ditch thus making it much less functional. The <br /> sign was constructed and initially installed approximately four years ago. At the time of <br /> installation, Ridgewood Association was unaware of any sign size or setback requirements. <br /> This past winter, a car slid off the icy road while turning off Proctor onto Ridgewood Drive and <br /> hit the sign while narrowly missing the utility pole. <br /> • The sign is much larger than the City's normal street sign and is more aesthetic. This sign <br /> provides a good landmark when giving directions to the area and provides a source of pride <br /> for the Ridgewood neighborhood. <br /> • <br />
