In Section 17-7.1, SIGNS, subpart 1, Purpose, the Ordinance states that "The purpose of these standards is to protect the general welfare and safety of the City by providing a policy of aesthetic development to prevent signs from intruding on the rural and residential character of the City; to provide adequate signs for direction and property identification purposes; and to provide adequate and effective signs for commercial use. " In Section 17-7.1, SIGNS, subpart 2, Required Permits,the Ordinance states that "All signs are considered structures and require a Zoning Permit. . . " In Section 17-7.1, SIGNS, subpart 6, Offsite Signs—General,the Ordinance states that "Offsite signs are prohibited, except for residential or commercial directory signs. . . " I have been to your property and taken the enclosed picture. If this picture accurately depicts your property, I would have to find that you are in violation of these provisions of the Ordinance. As opposed to formally citing you for a violation of the Ordinance, we would like the opportunity to work with you to correct the situation. We are requesting that by no later than October 13,2008,you permanently remove this trailer from your property.
