Re: Pylon Sign Structure
Dear Mr. Watson and/or Store Manager:
The pylon sign for Valley Trophy was damaged over the Winter and is currently lying upon the ground. I
have not observed any activity as to attending to its repair nor have I heard from anyone as to the same.
Zoning Ordinance 401.15.G.12 Maintenance does direct that all signs, together with all of their supports,
braces, guys and anchors be kept in repair and in proper state of preservation. Zoning Ordinance
401.15.G.15 Removal of Unsafe and Illegal Signs directs the removal of any sign or sign structure if the
Zoning Administrator or designee finds that the sign or sign structure is unsafe or in violation of City
Ordinance.
This letter directs that the sign is to be repaired or removed no later than Monday,April 23, 2018.
Repair may occur with no alteration to the sign face area or pole height. A sign permit is required to be
secured by a licensed sign contractor prior to its repair. If you opt to remove the sign, please note that
the ground area is to be restored to a condition consistent with the ground area around the sign.
Electrical work does require a work permit from the Department of Labor and Industry Electrical Division
and inspection by their regional representative. If power to this sign has not been terminated while it is
in disrepair, have this attended to immediately as a matter of safety.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. Thank you for your prompt attention.
Sincerely,
PLANNING &CODE ENFORCEMENT
