Mr. <br />Haden agreed that they should state th e signs are professionally lettered. <br /> <br />The Board decided to add profession ally lettering to the banners. <br /> <br />Mr. Smyser states stringers were allowed at the present time, but they could be eliminated <br />completely also, which was his preference. He indicated a definition should also be <br />added. <br /> <br />Mr. Hyden asked why staff did not like stringe rs. Mr. Smyser replied he believed they <br />were unsightly, but he could see a business having them up for a couple of weeks when <br />they were having their grand opening, but he did not like the idea of them being up for a <br />long period of time. <br /> <br />Mr. Hyden noted an applicant could only apply for the stringers, or a banner and not both <br />and that a stringer could only ta ke up 32 square feet. Mr. Smyser replied what existed <br />right now was not relevant and they needed to decide how they wanted this for the future. <br />He stated if they were going to require pe rmits for the stringers, banners and stringers <br />both would not be allowed and there would be a time limit for stringers also. However, <br />they could also prohibit them. <br /> <br />Mr. Pogalz noted if stringers were treated the same way as banners, he did not believe <br />anyone would come in and apply for a stringer permit if they were only allowed to have <br />one or the other, so he agr eed they should be prohibited. <br /> <br />Mr. Root stated there might be a situation where the pennant had words on them, but he <br />agreed it should be treated as a banner. <br /> <br />Mr. Laden stated he believed there were appr opriate uses for pennants and did not think <br />they should be part of the banners. <br /> <br />Mr. Tralle noted typically pennants are used in car lots and model homes. Mr. Hayden <br />stated pennants could be atta ched to the building also. <br /> <br />Chair Rafferty stated he was in favor of pr ohibiting stringers because of the aesthetic <br />look. <br /> <br />Mr. Hayden asked what the defini tion of a pennant was. <br /> <br />Mr. Laden stated a used car lo t was an appropriate use of pennants as long as they were <br />properly maintained. <br /> <br />Mr. Haden stated he viewed pennants as being used for a new business opening. He <br />acknowledged model homes used them to bri ng the attention to the new homes and car <br />lots used them to draw attent ion to their lots. He noted pennants should be kept under the <br />32 square foot rule and be limited to a number of days, but he did not believe they should <br />be ruled out entirely. He believed it was an either or situation and both banners and <br />pennants should not be allowed.
