Fahey <br />COUNCIL <br />Beverly Sealze <br />Jini LaValle <br />Matt Anderson <br />Rick Montour <br />ADMINISTRATOR <br />Joel R. Hanson <br />Attached is a letter from Mr. Perry Linn asking to discuss our temporary sign ordinance. I <br />believe he will express his concern about the limited availability of permits in multiple tenant <br />buildings. Other businesses have made similar comments. Our current ordinance reads as <br />follows: <br />Temporary use of portable signs, banners, pennants, window signs in excess of that <br />established below, and similar devices shall require a permit pursuant to Section <br />903.110.F. of this ordinance. A permit shall not be issued for more than thirty (30) days <br />nor shall a permit be issued within thirty (30) days from the termination date of a prior <br />permit. In no case shall permits exceed three (3) in a calendar year or a total of sixty <br />(60) days in a calendar year and no temporary sign permit shall be granted for any <br />given property while another temporary sign permit is in effect. If spotlights are used in <br />conjunction with temporary signs, such lights shall not be operated during more than five <br />(5) days in conjunction with any single permit and shall be placed in such a manner as to <br />not constitute a traffic hazard. Temporary signs shall be removed from display <br />immediately upon lapse of permit. Said signs shall be at least five (5) feet from the <br />property line. <br />b. Except as expressly allowed in Section 903.110. C.4. c. below, no <br />temporary sign shall exceed thirty -two (32) square feet in area nor six (6) <br />feet in height, as measured from the ground over which the sign is <br />displayed. <br />c. A lighter than air balloon, blow up sign, no more than thirty-five (35) feet <br />in diameter, may be used as a temporary sign no more than one (1) time a <br />year for no more than five (5) consecutive days. <br />
