Councilmember Look stated we will have Realtor signs. We need to figure out square footage <br />and added that he is okay with signs larger than the average Realtor sign having to be a permitted <br />use. He agreed with Mayor Ramsey's idea of coming up with. a decal or permit right on the sign. <br />Councilmember Wise stated he did not feel it is a good idea to go after these real estate signs. <br />He mentioned all the signs for the Town Center and Jim Deal's property. He would like to see <br />real estate signs exempted. <br />Associate Planner Gladhill commented that we have to be careful how we word that as it cannot <br />be content based and that's what it would appear if we exempt real estate signs in general. <br />Councilmember McGlone stated that anything in the right-of--way is out. He likes the idea of <br />having anything over the size of a "typical real estate" sign have to be permitted. He added that <br />he is not really in favor of spending money for stickers on the signs -that could all be recorded <br />at City Hall instead. <br />Councilmember Wise talked about sings on trailers, etc. <br />Councilmember Dehen inquired if the feeling is that small signs should not have to be regulated. <br />Councilmember Look suggested that we should have different types of signs listed as permanent, <br />less than permanent, etc., and maybe also have a maintenance requirement. <br />Mr. Gladhill offered that the City does have a provision in the Code about unkempt signs and the <br />Code does address displays on vehicles. He read a portion of the Code dealing with signs. <br />Councilmember Elvig commented on unkempt signs and stated he did not see anything attractive <br />about the signs presented on the screen. <br />Councilmember McGlone stated that we need to make sure we (the City) get permits as well. <br />We are required to do what we require the public to dq. <br />Banners were mentioned and Ms. Miller reported that banners aze part of a special events permit <br />Councilmember Look felt that banners needed to be exempted. <br />Councilmember Wise stated that we have an ordinance now and it is pretty difficult to enforce. <br />Mayor Ramsey stated he would recommend passing a resolution authorizing City staff to pick up <br />signs in the right-of--way. <br />Mr. Gladhill stated that signs in the right-of--way would be an easy fix but it is hard to prove the <br />amount of time other signs have been up. <br />City Council Work Session -May 4, 2010 <br />Page 6 of 13 <br />
