The ordinance allows one free standing sign, currently installed along Janris Street. <br />To install a second sign, a variance will be necessary. As an alternative, 5=ou may consider <br />placing a sign on the building. You are permitted one 120 sq. ft. sign. <br />61 The Cith Council will likely impose some time limit associated with the outdoor storage. <br />The sense staff got from the Council during the review of a similar use v=as that their felt it <br />was more of a temporanr feature, rather than a long term feature. ~X~hat is 3=our expected <br />time line <br />Phone: 763.635.1000 <br />Fax: 763.635.1Og0 <br />www ci.elk-river.mn.us <br />
