<br />If this is the ordinance then it is definitely restrictive. Here are a couple of my <br />thoughts: <br />7a - ok <br />7b - ok <br />7c - ok, but kind of a pain. <br />7d - doesn't this limit non-profit, election specific items or other special event <br />advertising because the event is not likely to be held at that location? <br />7 e - ok <br />7f - who decides who gets the banner up on that site? <br />7g - ok <br />7h - some landlords will not allow it to be "affixed" to the structure - also this might <br />conflict with 7i <br />7i - they want the signs 8 feet up in the air? Wouldn't it be better to allow a close <br />to the ground sign for a temporary sign? The costs of having these temporary <br />signs would become prohibitive if you have to have a 12 or 14 foot pole to stick into <br />the ground. <br /> <br />Best Regards, <br /> <br />Jeff Knollenberg <br /> <br />Jeff, <br /> <br />I don't use the "black" signs that you were talking about, but I do use banners for <br />special promotions to advertise a promotion for a radio personality or a banner on <br />the Green house stating the hours of operation. I think that we've always use good <br />judgement on use and placement of such banners, and I would hate to have to run <br />and get a "temporary use" permit to hang a 3' X 5' banner. If this is a situation that <br />is getting out of control for Elk River, I would be willing to follow some guidelines, <br />but I share my building with four other business's, and I think it would be hard to <br />have only one sign out for all these business's. <br /> <br />Thank you for your concern, <br /> <br />Gary Reff <br /> <br />PROHIBITION OF TEMPORARY SIGNS <br />Elk River Area Chamber of Commerce <br />Page 3 of 6 <br />
