In reviewing the sign codes of other cities, the codes do not provide standards for advertising balloons, nor is this specific type of signage addressed. Staff has been advised that this method of advertising is very expensive. John O'Sullivan advised that only O'Sullivans and Rick's Super Valu in the Navarre business district will probably make use of balloon advertising. Otten Brothers Nursery made use of banners at the time of the opening. Balloons have been used in the Long Lake business district on a temporary basis. The Planning Commission recommends permits be required and that they be credited against a property as one of the four temporary signs allowed for the year. All balloons shall meet applicable Federal and State regulations. In the case of special event signage involving the use of banners, flags, etc., signage should be reviewed by the Council as part of the comprehensive planning for the special event (i.e. Navarre Christmas decorations, special school evwnts, special Navarre business district events). The Planning Commission did not feel it appropriate for the City to issue temporary business permits for community-wide events: Council's review and approval should be all that is needed. Proposed Ordinance Aaendment - The original ordinance amendment has been amended to include now a temporary sign definition, as follows: "Sign - Business - Temporary, A sign perm..'w: - - for a limited period of time used to advertise or promote the interests of a single or multi-use commercial or industrial use. A temporary sign may be attached to a principal structure or detached. Such signage shall include mobile/message board signs, banners and advertising balloons that meet all applicable Federal and State standards." The temporary sign section has been eunended so that banners and balloons are considered temporary signs requiring permits. The enclosed ordinance is presented for Council's review and final action. - -> ' V V .
