DISCUSSION OF CITY CODE RELATING TO TEMPORARY ADVERTISING SIGNS
DEFERRED FROM 10/12/88
Baldwin reviewed Council's discussion at the October 12th
meeting regarding whether or not non-profit organizations should
be exempt from licensing and sign fees, and the impact on local
businesses by temporary signs which the Lions Club had installed
advertising their Christmas Tree Sales lot at the City Park. He
explained that staff had contacted other communities and found
they do not exempt non-profit organizations from these code
requirements. Ramsey County was also contacted and indicated
they do not allow signage on any County road right-of-way and do
not issue permits. Following a discussion, it was determined
that the sign indicating hours of operation of the Lions lot
will require a permit and fee, as will the proposed sign at
Hamline and Roselawn. Council directed staff to re-work the
entire sign portion of the code in the near future.
