Fahey <br />COUNCIL <br />Beverly Scalze <br />Jim LaValle <br />Steve Morelan <br />Bob Pedersen <br />ADMINISTRATOR <br />Joel R. Hanson <br />I have surveyed our neighboring cities to determine how they address off - premise real <br />estate signs. The following is the result of that survey: <br />Falcon Heights — The Falcon Heights code prohibits off - premise real estate signs. <br />However, this city ignores these signs unless they are left up for long periods of times or <br />if they receive a complaint. In those instances, the city will remove the signs. <br />Maplewood — Maplewood Code allows off - premise real estate signs without a permit. <br />The signs can be no larger than 3 square feet in size, can be located within the right -of- <br />way, but no closer than 8 feet to the pavement or 2 feet from a sidewalk or trail. Hours <br />that the signs can be up are also limited. During weekdays, the signs can be up from 12 <br />Noon until 8 P.M. On weekends the signs are allowed from 6 A. M. until 8 P.M. <br />Roseville — Roseville code prohibits off- premises real estate signs. However, Roseville <br />ignores the signs since the agents usually remove them quickly. If they are left up for <br />long periods of time, city staff will remove the signs. <br />Shoreview — Shoreview allows off premise real estate signs without a permit. Signs can <br />be no larger than 3 square feet in size, can be located within the right -of -way, can be no <br />closer than 9 feet from the pavement. Hours the signs can be up are limited to 7 A.M. <br />until 8 P.M. on weekdays, and can be up overnight through the weekends. <br />Page 36 <br />
