� g Feb 14, 2011 Appeal Staff Decision Denying Additional Temporary Sign Permit Days Barry Tanner— Navarre Lanes at 3435 Shoreline Drive Application Summary: Navarre Lanes opened for business in December of 2010. Winter weather conditions and frost have not allowed for construction of a new monument sign for the existing multi-tenant building. In order to draw customers to the newly opened bowling alley, Mr. Tanner placed temporary signage on the property. City Code allows four 10-day permits for temporary signage per calendar year. These permits may be lumped together into one 40-day time period. Mr. Tanner applied for and received temporary sign permits for the dates December 3 through December 31, 2010. Additionally, Mr. Tanner applied for and received temporary sign permits from January 1 through February 10, 2011. These recently issued sign permits utilize all of the available �days for 2011. Mr. Tanner requested additional signage days. Additional days would be considered a variance. Staff denied this request based on the limitation within the code. On January 19, 2011, the City received Mr. Tanner's appeal. The code is not specific when dealing with multi-tenant buildings, but in the past, Staff has allowed 40 days per tenant each year. In the Otten Bros. building some of the businesses do not have a need to display temporary signage and have coordinated or shared their temporary signage days with another tenant. This could be a solution for Mr. Tanner; however staff recommends that only occupied spaces' signage days be available for use. The downside of this is that it may result in what appears to be continual display of temporary signage for one business. In closing, Staff recommends Council deny Mr. Tanner's appeal for additional signage days. If the Council feels it is appropriate Mr. Tanner could be directed to explore an agreement with another tenant in the building to use some of their allotted temporary sign permit days.
