<br />I am unable to attend the meetings and request my comments be included. <br /> <br />I would request that the ordinance be less restrictive. I am a very small business <br />located in Elk River. Although my primary business is repeat business it is <br />imperative that new people find me. I have tried many different advertising <br />mediums and have found that using the portable sign once or twice a year has <br />been one of the better ways for the cost. I have had people say they drive by my <br />building twice a day and have not noticed the building sign, but when I used the <br />portable sign, they found I was there and called. <br /> <br />Victoria: <br />I am in favor of using these signs. They stand out and encourage all of us to be <br />apart of community events. This is just my opinion. Thank you, Nancy Ruhl <br /> <br />Jeff, <br />I would like to voice my displeasure with the proposed city ordinance on portable <br />signs. <br />It is a way for us to get the word out to prospective customer's when we are doing <br />something special at our business in a very economical way. <br />We have made the investment & we own our own portable sign. At present we <br />probably only use it a couple of times per year. <br />It would seem to me with the amount of tax dollars that all the business in the City <br />of Elk River are paying & expected to pay in the future that the City should be <br />doing everything in there power to try to help the local business's stay in business <br />not put on restrictions that could lead to there demise. <br />Thank you, <br />Kenneth Dehn Jr. <br />Dehn's 4 Seasons Hq Inc <br /> <br />Jeff, <br />After thinking about this issue all afternoon another items comes to mind & that is <br />all of the Realtor signs & all of the other little signs that people are putting on both <br />private property as well as public property. You know the ones that I am talking <br />about that come on the wire frame that you just push in the ground. It's nothing for <br />us to come by our business on a Sunday morning & have 25 Realtor signs on our <br />property in the ditch in front of our place. <br />I guess not being at the meetings I am not sure what they are objecting to as far as <br />portable signs but would think that these small signs would have to fall into the <br />portable sign category also. <br />Actually I feel that these small signs that seem to be popping up everywhere are <br />more of an eyesore than our larger portable reader board signs. <br />Thanks again, <br />Jay <br /> <br />PROHIBITION OF TEMPORARY SIGNS <br />Elk River Area Chamber of Commerce <br />Page 4 of 6 <br />
