RE: Off-Premise Signage
DATE: November 18, 2004
Previously, the City Council has directed staff to research the issue of proposing
regulations for off-premise signage. As you may recall, the issue arose from discussions
with Sever Peterson regarding signage for his seasonal business. Staff has researched
other cities zoning ordinances and has been unable to find regulations and/or a situation
that closely mirrors those discussed in Shakopee.
As a result, staffhas prepared, as a starting point, the following language relative to off-
premise signage.
Off-premise signs shall be allowed for the purpose of advertising temporary seasonal
community events open to the general public. Off-premise signs shall comply with the
following:
. shall obtain a temporary sign permit;
. shall be limited to total display time of30 days per calendar year;
. shall be located along Highway 169 frontage;
. shall provide written consent from the property owner;
. shall be limited to 150 square feet in size;
. shall be a one sided sign;
. shall not exceed 20 feet in height:
. shall be limited to interchange locations on Highway 169 and no two off-premise
signs shall be located closer than 500 feet to each other;
. shall be setback 10 feet from the property line.
This information is intended to serve as a starting point for conversation of the issue.
City Council had also directed that staffbe in contact with Mr. Peterson regarding any
proposals. It is the intent of staff to obtain any feedback from City Council members
prior to contacting Mr. Peterson.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions, comments, or suggestions that you may
have.
