CITY OF SHAKOPEE
Memorandum
CASE LOG NO.: 04085
TO: Mayor and City Council
Mark McNeill, City Administrator
FROM: R. Michael Leek, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Request by Sever Peterson to allow an off-premises for sign for Sever's Com
Maze
MEETING DATE: September 7, 2004
INTRODUCTION:
Sever Peterson has requested Council approval to locate a temporary, truck-mounted sign about Y2.
mile east ofCR. 83 and north ofSTH 169 for the period from September 18,2004 until October 31,
2004. (See letter of Sever Peterson dated 8/26/2004, and copy of photo)
DISCUSSION:
Mr. Peterson operates a seasonal attraction located south of Canterbury Park. The City's sign
regulations do not have separate provisions for temporary signage for such uses, and the proposed sign
does not comply with current regulations. The sign regulations do allow on-site freestanding signs for
"Major Commercial Recreation" uses (City Code Sec. 11.70, Subd.. 8, G.). Staff believes that the
purposes served by restricting off-premises signage such as that proposed are sound, and so will
recommend denial of the request.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Offer and pass a motion denying Sever Peterson's request to place a temporary, truck-mounted
sign to be displayed Yz mile east of CR. 83 and north of STH 169 for the period from September
18, 2004 until October 31, 2004
2. Offer and pass a motion approving Sever Peterson's request to place a temporary, truck-
mounted sign to be displayed Y2. mile east of CR. 83 and north of STH 169 for the period from
September 18, 2004 until October 31, 2004 with the issuance of a temporary sign permit.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends alternative no. 1.

To Shakopee Mayor John Schmitt and council members,
On behalf of Sever's Corn Maze I am requesting permission from the City of
Shakopee to locate a mobile sign along Hwy. 169. Th~ sign would be
located 1/2 mile east of the Canterbury Rd. exit on the north side of Hwy.
169. It would be located off DOT right of way on private property for which I
have the permission of the land owner.
I have enclosed a photo of the sign. It is on the side of our truck and is
eight feet by twenty feet.
We are open weekends Sept. 18th thru Oct. 31st. We would like to place
the sign Friday Sept. 17th and would remove it Oct. 31 st.
Respectfully,
.... ~~
Sever Peterson
