RE:Flags
Mr.Pesses,
City Ordinance 401.15.G.5(o)does allow flags to be displayed outside of a building,but the limit shall be
three(3)flags. Clearly your site(14702 N.60th Street)exceeds this value.Please remove all flags,except
the three you wish to maintain.
After these flags are removed,the City would consider increasing this limit to six(6)flags provided you
apply and are granted an interim use permit under 401.05.Other standards are also applicable to this limit
of six(6)flags.
For you files I have attached a copy of the City's Ordinance related to FLAGS.
'.cerely,
it
