COMMIJNICATIONS: Memo from Safety Department regarding the Timber Trails ground signs which were referred to the BZD committee on February 26th which reads as follows: On February 27, 1985, we received a request to review ground sign plans and comment on any concerns./ This request was forwarded to the North Olmsted Police Department for their review and comments. Their Capt. R. Krynak advises that he would not recommend any sign which is set within the Right Of Way. He states that Section 2-A-3 of the Uniform Traffic Control Devises states this well. He quotes "Any sign placed on the highway Right Of Way by a private organiza- tion or individual constitutes a Public Nuisance. All unofficial signs should be removed as they weaken the value of Traffic Signs. Furthermore, he agrees with the Asst. Law Director when he showed concern to the Planning Commission over potential liability for these signs. Capt. Krynak states several reasons they should not be placed, and they are as follows: /1. They would damage a vehicle extensively if struck, they are not break away, they are in fact very sturdy looking signs./ 2. They are a height and size that kids may hide behind them and run into traffic from behind them./ 3. They have the strong possibility of being struck by either a bike or a vehicle./ 4. They will catch all snow and salt from plows and I think they will deteriorate rapidly./ 5. Less then 2 car lengths from the Stop Sign will detract from the Stop Sign. / cc: Ron Tallon, Councilman/ Chairman - BZD Committee It was noted that the BZD Committee received the memo and that signs were approved by Council.
