BROOWLYN CENTER, MINN. �
We have previously made inquiries into the possibilities of placing
an identification sign for Northwestern Bell Telephone Company at the
junction of County Road 10 and Shingle Creek Parkway. We appreciate
the assistance given by Mr. Murphy, Building Inspector, your City
Engineer, and Administrative Assistant in explaining the restrictions
on signs in your community. However, we feel justified in asking
further consideration be given to the need of our request.
m
You are aware, I am sure, that the name Shingle Creek Parkway currently
has very little meaning to people who live and conduct business in the
area. The name of the street does not appear on any map as yet;
according to the Hudson Map Company, it will not appear until the new
map is issued sometime in March of 1970.
After a review of your ordinances, we
exists in our not having a directional
for the following reasons:
feel that a particular hardship
sign at the above named location
1. In producing, printing, and delivery of directories for
Minnesota and North Dakota, the scheduling of such projects is on
almost an hourly basis. Deviation from this schedule could involve
delays for our customers, the public, or our company. It is
necessary for us to have special deliveries of material on time to
prevent these delays.
Since moving our forces to the Brooklyn Center building, we have had
several instances where this material was not delivered for two
days, because the Post Office special delivery man was unable to
locate 5910 Shingle Creek Parkway. The Post Office has several
people who may be involved with deliveries to this location, and would
face the same problem.
2. We frequently require our clerical force to work overtime as
late as 9 or 10 PM. This requires taxi cabs to be ordered to
transport them home. There have been times when the taxi cabs were
Planning Commission -2- October 24, 1969
unable to locate the building, resulting in our employees waiting
in this building unitl they could find a ride home.
3. This building also houses the Employment Office of our company
for the Northern Area, and the address of this building appears in
newspaper ads. We are sure prospective employees face similar
problems in finding the location.
4. This building will also have a Public Office to serve our
customers in this area. Many customers wish to come to our
office in person to order telephone service or discuss their
telephone problems and would encounter the same problem in
locating the building.
We assure you that we wish to conform with your restrictions, but feel the
installation of a directional sign for six months would help eliminate the
above problems. We also feel that in six months the people would be aware
of the location of the building and new street maps would be out to assist
delivery people, cab companies, and so forth.
If you concur on this request, the sign will be made to your specifications
and placement only.
Thank you for your consideration on this matter.
Yours truly,
