Re: Temporary /Special Event Advertisement — Special Event Permit Requirement
Dear Manager:
Please be advised that Oak Park Heights City Ordinance 401.15.G.8 regulates temporary,
special event signage within its City boundaries. A copy of this ordinance and a special event
permit application is enclosed.
Recently TCF had an A -frame style advertisement sign in place. By City Ordinance, such
displays are considered special event advertisement and as such it was found in violation of
City Ordinance 401.15.G.8 Special Events in that a permit had not been obtained for its
display. The sign was collected by City staff and can be retrieved at City Hall. The sign shall be
held until December 30, 2010 after which date it shall be disposed of.
At no such time, without a permit issued by the City, shall any exterior advertisement be
placed. I ask that you review the enclosed information and inventory your site for special
event advertisement and request that prior to placing any future advertisement displays to
the exterior of your building, you obtain a special event permit as required by City Ordinance.
Fifty (50) calendar days per year is permitted for special event advertisement. Special event
permits may be dropped off at City Hall or faxed to my attention at 651- 439 -0574. Please
note that there is no charge for this permit; however failure to obtain one is considered a City
Ordinance violation, which may treated as misdemeanor offense.
Thank you for your anticipated prompt attention to this request. Please contact me, via email
or a phone call, immediately with any questions you may have.
Sincerely,
Ju 'e A. Hultman
PI ning & Code Enforcement Officer
