ELK RIVER ARE A ARTS ALLIANCE ~--4 The Handke Center. 1170 Main Street. Elk River, MN. 55330. Ph: 763.441.4725. Fax: 763. 241.3521 www.elkriverart.org.elkrfverart@sherbtei.net May 16, 2007 Mr. Chris Leeseberg Planning Department City of Elk River 13065 Orono Parkway Elk River, Minnesota 55330 Dear Chris: The Elk River Area Arts Alliance, a 501 (c) 3 nonprofit organization, is again putting on the ArtSoup Elk River Community Festival on the weekend of June 23-24, 2007. Since the inception of ArtSoup in 1999, the Elk River Area Arts Alliance has placed 4 x 8 two-sided signs in four strategic places throughout Elk River to promote the festival. We would like to be able to use those signs again this year. The signs would be installed by the Sherburne County Sentence to Serve crew on approximately May 23'd and would be removed the day after the festival on June 25. Since the City of Elk River is a major funder and supporter of the ArtSoup Festival, we propose that the festival be considered a City of Elk River event in this temporary sign application. ArtSoup has a broad community appeal to people of all ages and their families and has grown to be a positive part of the city's identity. A site plan is attached with the proposed locations of all four signs. We are requesting permission from the City of Elk River again this year to place signs on two city properties: West of Elk River on Highway 10 by the City of Elk River monument sign and at Highway 169 and Main Street by The Emporium. We have permission from ISD 728 to locate a sign at The Handke Center (the ArtSoup Festival location) and from John Houlton for a sign on Jackson Avenue by the Boys and Girls Club. The signs provide exposure that would be hard to reproduce. Thank you for your consideration of our request. Sincerely, Elk River Area Arts Alliance 7mr ;/~Ak/] Tony Darkenwald ArtSoup 2007 Committee Attachment: Sign Site Plan Map with sign locations
