o Is the temporary billboard allowed?
The zoning Ordinance allows temporary signs for city-wide and
community events. The proposed billboard is approximately 10' x
25'. A billboard of this size is allowed. Attached is a copy of
the ordinance.
o What events will the billboard advertise?
The billboard is proposed to advertise the following events:
o Raspberry Festival
o Music in the Park
o Farmers, Market
o Heritage Days
o Other special events
o How long will the billboard be used?
The billboard is allowed by ordinance to remain in place two
weeks following the last event. The last day of the Farmers
Market is October 26. The Committee is hoping the billboard will
be in place from June through October~ However, because this
billboard space is being donated by Naegele there is a
possibility that it may not be at the City's disposal for the
whole time between June through October. The city will be able
to use this billboard as it is available.
o Where will the billboard be looated?
The Mainstreet Improvement proj ect steering commi ttee has
indicated that their desired location on ci ty property is as
close to 11th Avenue as 'possible. The exact location will depend
on not obstructing the . traffic sight lines of' 11th Avenue and
County Road 3. Staff is working wi th the Mainstreet project
Manager regarding the location of the billboard as relatedi.to the
storage of the contractor's equipment for the Mainstreet project.
