Cons <br /> • Ability of residents and businesses to accurately determine which road/intersection is regulated <br /> by city ordinance or county/state regulations. <br /> • Conflicts with city's vision and goals; staff would recommend eliminating Goal C7. <br /> C. Allow signage for specific time-frames <br /> This option would allow the placement of signage for a specific time frame (i.e. 12 noon Thursday—6 <br /> p.m. Sunday) and would be applicable for all content-types (i.e. residential and commercial). Staff <br /> recommends that certain conditions be added to aid in enforcement, such as: <br /> • Requiring the name,address, and contact number of the responsible party placing the sign. <br /> • Signs without the appropriate contact information, or left in place beyond the allowed time- <br /> frame, can be removed and destroyed by the city. <br /> • No sign shall be placed in the public right-of-way abutting private property unless permission to <br /> place such a sign is first obtained from the owner, occupant or other person having control of the <br /> abutting private property. <br /> • Restrict the number of similar signs per 100 feet or per property. <br /> • Consider an administrative fee or fine for removing signs placed in ROW during periods of <br /> restricted use. <br /> Council may wish to consider modifying or deleting Goal C7. <br /> Pros <br /> • Provides for a middle ground between zero-tolerance of signage in the ROW and allowing signs <br /> through the entire week. <br /> • Allows for easier enforcement by providing a clear time-frame on when signage is permitted. <br /> • Involves the property owner of the abutting property. <br /> Cons <br /> • Not applicable to county/state roadways which may result in confusion by residents and <br /> businesses. <br /> • May increase staff time to ensure signs are adequately marked and/or removed in a timely <br /> fashion (enforcement timeframe will now be restricted to days in which signage is not <br /> permitted). <br /> • Will not regulate content and will be applicable to all types of signage. <br /> Financial Impact <br /> At this time,no financial impact is forecasted. Staff does,however,recommend increased public <br /> education and awareness based either the current ordinance or any subsequent revisions (if any). <br /> Attachments <br /> • Exhibit 1: Summary of city ordinances. <br /> • Exhibit 2: Map detailing common intersections for signage. <br /> N:\Public Bodies\Agenda Packets\7-15-2013\Final\x9.2 sr Signs in Right of Way.docx <br />
