! <br />! <br /> <br />RAMSEY SIGN AMENDMENT <br /> <br />9,12 SIGNS <br /> <br />AREAS OF CONFUSION AND/OR CONCERN <br /> <br />9.12. SIGNS ~ (Page 1) <br />Based on context, and especially 9.12.02 "Sign", Believe the <br />title "9.12 OUTDOOR SIGNS" would be more descriptive. <br /> <br />9.12.03 Subd. 13. (Page. 6) - In lin~ 4, suggest fourth word read "evidence" <br /> - Suggest sentence beginning line 5 "When any..." become <br /> paragraph bo (new subject). <br /> - Paragraph b. becomes c. <br /> <br />9.12.04 Subd.~ 6. (Page 8) <br /> - Is portion of text missing? <br /> <br />9.12.09 Heading (Page 11) <br /> - Suggest fourth word read "Warehouse" <br /> <br />9.12.12 Subd.~. <br />Discussion <br /> <br />Construction Specifications (Page 13) <br /> <br />Council's concern focused on the appearance of signs (i.e., the <br />undesirable esthetics of hand painted signs). This Subd. speaks <br />only to construction, installation, alteration. It does not <br />require that painting/lettering/facing be professionally done; <br />does not defihe "professional sign companies"; does not specify <br />what kind of ~u£ine$$ contractors must be licensed to do <br />business .... <br /> <br />As written, this Subd. would allow a kid with a can of spray <br />paint to paint a sign on a piece of plywood which was cut to size <br />by a "Contractor licensed...(to waterproof basements) who could <br />then erect it. It would, however prohibit: <br /> 1. The S~perbowl (and others) from periodically changing the <br /> copy on their signs; or <br />2. Lakeview Development from to putting up and taking down <br />the signboards (from existing structure) as office tenants <br />change; etc. <br />The requirement to hire a contractor or "professional sign <br />company" (whatever that is) to change text, or even to hang an <br />attractive, professionally painted sign, clearly conflicts with <br />spirit of 9.1~.01, line 6, is unreasonable, and unenforceable. <br /> <br />RAMSEY SIGN AHENDMENT P. 1 OF 3 <br /> <br /> <br />
