Specifically, Section 1010.03A2 (Government <br />Signs) states: Except for traff c related signage, all permanent cit, or othergovernmental <br />unit signage including flags must be approved by the City Council. <br />1.3 The HRA proposal seeks "A" frame signs to be directional in nature identifying the <br />Living Smarter event. They will be 36 inches wide and 48 inches tall, which is similar to <br />that approved for the Family Motor Coach Association in June. Placement will occur <br />near the Fairview Community Center, along Cleveland Avenue between Prior and <br />County Road S, along Fairview Avenue between Highway 36 and County Road S, and <br />on County Road S2 and Fairview Avenue adjacent Rosedale Center. <br />1.4 The City Planner has spoke to City and County representatives regarding the placement <br />of signs within the public right-of-way at the identified locations. The City <br />representative will not require a permit, but requests that the signs be in locations that do <br />not block vehicle views of on-coming traffic. Ramsey County also indicated that they <br />would not require a permit and urged making sure that signs were not placed in a manner <br />that blocked sight lines of exiting vehicles. <br />2.0 <br />26 2.1 <br />27 <br />28 <br />29 <br />30 <br />31 <br />32 <br />STAFF RECOMMENDATION: <br />The Planning Division would not normally process such a request, however the HRA's <br />desire to purchase portable display signs to promote the Living Smarter Home and <br />Garden Fair was reached after the City Council approved similar temporary signage for <br />other City supported events (January 5, 2009). <br />
