To:Mayor Grabek & Orono Council Members <br />Planning Commission Chairman Kelley <br />Orono Planning Commission Members <br />City Administrator Bernhardson <br />From: <br />Date <br />Jeanne A. Mabusth, Building 6 Zoning Administrator <br />December 13, 1990 <br />Subject: 3 (2) Temporary Signs in Commercial Districts <br />In 1988 the City amended it's temporary sign ordinance to <br />prohibit the use of such signs on commercially used property in <br />residential zones (i.e. Busy Beaver, Dog House, 1960 Shoreline <br />Drive (former transmission site - proposed boat sales), churches, <br />etc.)* The ordinance amendment established a limit on the <br />number of temporary signs that could be issued for a commercial <br />property limiting temporary signs to one sign per 24 months and <br />that sign would be allowed for a maximum 3 month period. <br />m <br />R <br />’Wr- <br />Original Ordinance <br />----- Temporary signs._ There shall be no more than one <br />temporary (3 months or less) sign in any required yard <br />area, and there shall be no more than three (3) such <br />signs on any lot, and the total area of such signs <br />shall not exceed 25 square feet. <br />Amended Ordinance in 1988 <br />Temporary Sicyns# There shall be no more than one <br />temporary (three months or less) sign in any required <br />y ' yard area, and ^''*re shall be no more than three such <br />signs on any lot, and the total area of such signs <br />shall not exceed 25 square feet. Such signs require a <br />temporary sign permit from the City. No such permit <br />shall be issued by the City if a conditional use permit <br />under Sub-paragraph A of this Subdivision or a <br />temporary sign permit under this sub-paragraph had been <br />issued in the previous 24 months to that property. No <br />such signs shall be allowed in residential zones unless <br />permitted as election or sales signs under this <br />Subdivision. <br />The Navarre business community has voiced major concern with <br />the limitation of one sign per every 24 months noting that <br />temporary signs may only be on the property for a 2-week perxod <br />of time at the most and that a three month time period is not <br />realistic. <br />Staff has reviewed temporary sign ordinances with other <br />communities. The majority of the ordinances allow a specific <br />number of temporary signs within a ona year period. <br />tiTiii TrmmVtfhiif^
