RESOLUTION NO. 2003-440
AUTHORIZING A 30 MPH SPEED LIMIT ON
FERNDALE ROAD FROM COUNTY ROAD 6 TO
THE PLYMOUTH CITY LIMITS
WHEREAS, City Council Resolution No. 2003-371 was adopted on August 26, 2003, requesting
the Commissioner of MN/DOT to conduct a speed zoning study on Ferndale Road from County
Road 6 to the Plymouth city limits; and
WHEREAS, since the adoption on that resolution, it has been brought to the attention of City
staff that this roadway may be classified as an Urban District; and
WHEREAS, the definition of Urban District, described in MS 169.01 Subd. 59, includes any
street that has structures at intervals of less than 100 feet for a distance of a quarter mile or more;
and
WHEREAS, in accordance with Minnesota Statute MS 169.14, Subd. 5b, the governing body can
by resolution declare such a street an Urban District and authorize a 30 mph speed limit; and
WHEREAS, it has been determined that Ferndale Road has dwelling units that are situated at
intervals of less than 100 feet for a distance of a quarter mile or more; and
WHEREAS, the design speed of Ferndale Road and residential nature suggests 30 miles per hour
as an appropriate speed; and
