MEMORANDUM <br /> DATE: 06/11/02 MEETING DATE: 06/18/02 <br /> TO: Planning Commission Members <br /> FROM: Susan M.H. Hall, Assistant City Manager <br /> SUBJECT: Ground Sign Placement <br /> Requested Action: <br /> Amend City Ordinance Section 1400.10 subd. 5(2) regulating the placement of ground <br /> signs to: "Signs must be located at least 15 feet from the traveled portion of any public <br /> street and cannot be placed within any street right of way or governmental easement." <br /> Background: <br /> There has been some confusion, particularly on the staff level, about where the 15 feet <br /> is counted from (public street, property line) with ground signs. The bottom line is, and <br /> the biggest reason for the amendment, is the sign cannot be placed in an easement. <br /> The City intentionally did not use property line because in some circumstances the <br /> property line is in the middle of the street and would likely cause more confusion. <br /> Staff Recommendation: <br /> For clarification purposes, staff_recommends approval of the amendment to the City <br /> Ordinance in relation to the placement of ground signs. <br /> Attachment: <br />
