3201 RUCKER AVE 2018-01-02 MF Import

NOTE: This agenda item came in from Mr. Heinzen after he had discussed the�� matter of his sign location wit!) the appropriate City departments, and a 1 learned that he could not receive a permit for the location he wants, but that the ordinance does provide for an appeal to the City Council for an exception to the code. There is 9 feet of City right of way between his property line and the 5-ft. sidewalk, making 14 feet to the curb on Rucker. His sign is 9 feet wide. For maximum visibility, he would like to install it with one side inside his property line and the rest of it extending approximately 8 feet into the City right of Wray, or about a foot from the edge of the sidewalk and approximately even with the existing light poles. Section 5 of the existing ordinance reads: "No sign structure, support, pole, stand, brace or appurtenance of any sign shall be placed on public property. " It also reads: "It is the intention of this ordinance that no sign shall extend over public property more than 10 feet and in no event shall be closer than 5 feet to the curb line. " Section C-3 reads "Any person aggrieved by a final determination of the Building Inspection Department shall have thf- right of further appeal to the City Council....... The decision of the City Council shall be final. " Mr. Heinzen will be at the Council meeting at which this is discussed to present his appeal in person. bn.
