Re: Temporary "Special Event" & Permanent Signage @ 13321 60 St. N.
To Whom It May Concern:
The E.B. Games store located at the Shoppes of Oak Park Heights has been placing a banner
to the exterior of the storefront window. Please be advised that this type of signage violates
Oak Park Heights Zoning Ordinance 401, which regulates temporary "special event" and
permanent signage.
Banners such as those placed at the exterior window are not considered to be permanent
signage and are subject to the regulations of City Ordinance 404.15.G.8 which allows their
placement with a special event permit having been issued for up to fifty days each calendar
year. I have enclosed this ordinance and permit application for Your use. It can also be
viewed at the City's web site www.cityofoakparkheights.com.
Please note that the special event permit is a "no fee" permit; however placing special event
signage without having first obtained a permit is a violation of the City's Ordinance
requirements, which may be subject to misdemeanor penalties.
With this letter you are requested to remove any and all special event signage placed upon
the store exterior walls /windows and any other special event signage or devices upon the
business site prior to the end of the day, Wednesday, February 29, 2012. A compliance check
shall be made after the compliance deadline.
