SIGN ORDINANCE The proposed new sign ordinance for Arden Hills is now available and it provides hours of fascinating reading. The first 6 pages are devoted to def- initions so that we are all on the same wavelength. Then the ordinance lists' five groups of signs,from those that will require no permit at all (public signs, temporary signs such as political or garage sale, etc.) down through those signs that will be totally forbidden (billboards, animated signs, etc.). County Road , E. Industrial Structures, Shopping Centers, etc, are treated separately. If you want to take a look at this ordinance before it gets to the Council, stop at the Village Hall. While on the subject of signs, it might be mentioned that the Council has approved a temporary sign at the entrance to the Briarknoll project (Hamline and Colleen) to identify the area. OPEN HOUSE The League of Women Voters has scheduled an open house for Arden Hills on Wednesday, Sept. 19, from 7s00 to 9:00 p.m. at the Village Hall. (Here's hop this letter gets to you before then!) Although there will be no bus tour as had been considered, this would be a great time to come out and check our Pub- lic Works, Fire, and Police equipment and personnel. Do bring the kids also. ' Council, Mayor, and Committee representatives will be available on an in- formal basis if you have any questions or problems. Light refreshments will be served, and, honestly, . it's sort of a fun evening to meet your City. , P.S. The Town Crier newsletter will also have a terrific display!!!
