Dear Mr. Knacke:
This is to remind you that the display of temporary business signs (banners, readerboards,
etc) is regulated by Orono City Code, which can be summarized as follows:
a. There shall be no more than four temporary business sign permit issued per
calendar year per business, each for a period of not more than ten days. The sign
(including banners or balloons), sign supports or portable stand must be removed
from public view at the end of the period.
b. Total area of the sign shall not exceed 32 square feet per surface (64 square feet
total signage allowed for two-sided portable sign). Advertising balloons are not
subject to area restrictions but must meet all applicable federal and state
standards. There shall be no more than one temporary sign per street frontage,
and, if separate multiple signs are proposed,the total area of the signs shall not
exceed 32 square feet.
c. Temporary business signs require a permit from the city. Multi-tenant buildings
are allowed one permit at a time. Allocation of the temporary business sign
permit to tenants is the responsibility of the property owner or designated
manager, who must sign all applications for sign permits.
d. The owner or manager of the business and the owner of the property are equally
responsible for the proper location, maintenance and removal of the sign. All
temporary signs shall be located on a property so that they do not impede safety
by obstructing vision of pedestrians or motor vehicle operators.
e. The city may, without notice, remove any temporary sign erected in violation of
this section or any other federal, state, or local law or ordinance. Any signs not
claimed within 30 days after removal may be destroyed by the city.
