Re: Temporary /Special Event Advertisement — Special Event Permit Requirement
Dear Manager:
I am following up to my letter of June 24, 2009, wherein I advised you of City Ordinance
401.15.G.8, which regulates temporary, special event signage, within the City of Oak Park
Heights. A copy of the ordinance and a special event permit application was enclosed and is
being sent to you again.
In my June 24, 2009 letter, l directed removal of the special event signage or submission of a
permit application for its placement no later than the end of the day, Tuesday, June 30, 2009.
I further notified you that there was no charge for this permit; however failure to obtain one
is considered a City Ordinance violation, which may be treated as misdemeanor offense.
A site visit was made today, wherein it was found that the banner by the drive through area
had not been removed. Additional free standing, ground signs at the area, near the building
were also in place. A special event permit has not been requested for these signs. As I
notified you in my earlier letter, the banner placed at your business is considered special
event signage, as is the other signage placed since my communication to you.
A & W Restaurant continues to be in violation of City Ordinance 401.15.G.8 Special Events in
that a permit has not been obtained for special event, advertisement display.
At this time, you are hereby directed to remove all special event advertisements at the A & W
Restaurant business site or have submitted and received a special event for its display prior to the end
of the day, July 15, 2009.
If a special event permit has not been issued by the end of the day July 15, 2009, a second
compliance check shall be made. Compliance failure will be noted and the matter forwarded
to the Oak Park Heights Police Department for their review and citation consideration.

As your business uses window space for advertisement, I have also enclosed City Ordinance
401.15.G.6 as it pertains to permanent and temporary window signage for your convenience.
Please keep this information as a handy reference when utilizing your window space for
advertisement.
If you have any questions regarding the Ordinance information or my request, contact me
immediately so that I may assist you in meeting compliance.
Sincerely,
