Re: Business Relocation - Sign Removal
To Whom It May Concern,
Thank you for your recent notification of your business relocation to Stillwater, MN.
Prior to your relocation, I want to bring to your attention City Ordinance 401.15.G.15.c that
requires business signage to be removed within thirty days of a business closure - in this case
your relocation on April 1S
Please remove the business signage as part of your relocation tasks. The site will be checked
to verify that ordinance compliance has been satisfied.
Thank you for your attention to this and good luck to you in your new location. Glad you are
still in the Valley.
Sincerely,
Julie ultman, Building Official
