HomeMy WebLinkAbout2008-11-03 Ordinance6b Marian Karr From: Jane & Walter Kopsa [happykay@earthlink.net] Sent: Monday, October 27, 2008 9:00 AM To: Council Subject: Sign ordinance Council Members, My wife and I own some small rental properties in Iowa City. This is my second E-mail on the subject of temporary rental signs. I feel that the timeline in the present ordinance would greatly diminish the usefulness of temporary signage ,making it more difficult for both tenants to find apartments and landlords to find tenants. I would like to address some of the reasons stated by council for regulating temporary signs . I use temporary signs only to advertise apartments in the building where the sign is placed and remove the sign once a lease has been signed. The risk of theft or vandalism and the inconvenience of answering the phone when you have nothing to say but "It's been rented." Is plenty of incentive to remove these signs when their job is done. I also realize that there are many ways to advertise in this hi-tech era, but this is still one of the most cost effective. Students especially often drive or walk through areas where they would like to live and respond to these signs. I would point out that if a house is for sale a temporary sign is usually placed on the property. It is not unusual for sellers to list homes in January with a summer possession, longer than the four month limit in the proposed ordinance. At the public hearing when the subject of temporary signs was brought up, the representative for the Northside Association said that they were not concerned about this type of sign. I would like any ordinance to allow me to use temporary signage when I know a unit is available. If it forces me to remove the sign once the unit is rented, that's something I would do without a sign ordinance.

Is the vehicle parked at a prominent location? b. Can people driving by the sign easily read the sign? c. Is the vehicle in the same or similar locations for several hours during the same day or for several days during the same week? d. Are there any stated or apparent reasons, other than for signage purposes, that justify the vehicle being at that location? B. Removal of Prohibited or Illegal Signs In accordance with the following procedure, the Building OfFcial or designee is authorized to require the removal of any illegal or prohibited sign: Before taking action to require the removal of any illegal or prohibited sign, the Building Official or designee will provide written notice to the owner or operator of the business to which the sign relates. 2. The notice will specify that the illegal or prohibited sign must be removed or brought into compliance with this Article within a reasonable time of such notice. 3. If the sign is not removed or repaired, as the case may be, within the time allowed, the Building Official or designee is hereby authorized to have the sign removed to be used as evidence and assess the costs of removal against the property for collection in the same manner as a property tax. 14-56-7 Measurement Standards A. Maximum Sign Area Where the size of a sign is regulated by the area of a wall, an awning or a canopy, the maximum sign area is calculated as a percentage of the total area of the wall, the awning, or the canopy on which the sign is affixed. PAGE 5B-7 14-SB Sign Regulations 2. For entranceway signs located on the front elevation of the subject archway, the maximum sign area is calculated as a percentage of the total area delineated by the archway. For entranceway signs located on the side of the archway, the maximum sign area is calculated as a percentage of the surface area of the side of the archway support on which the sign is located. Figure 5B.1 illustrates how to measure the total area delineated by the archway and the surface area of the side of the archway support. The total area delineated by the archway in Figure 5B.1 = x(y). The surface area of the side of the archway support in Figure 5B.1 = a(b). Figure 56.1 3. The total building signage on a wall, canopy, or awning shall not exceed the maximum sign allowance for that wall, canopy, or awning, regardless of the number of uses or occupants in the building. For example, if the maximum sign area for facia signs is 15 percent, then no more than 15 percent of any single wall of the building may be covered by facia signs, regardless of how many businesses are located in the building. B. Measuring Sign Area The area of each sign, regardless of shape, shall be computed by determining the area of a triangle, rectangle or circle that completely encloses the outer perimeter of the sign face. In the case of a sign composed of characters or words that are attached directly to a building, an appurtenance to a building, or a masonry wall, the area of the sign will be computed by determining the area of a triangle, rectangle, or circle that completely encloses the whole group of characters or words. C. Measuring Sign Height The maximum height of a sign shall be the measurement from grade to the highest point on the sign. In the case where a minimum height is established, the minimum height shall be measured from grade to the lowest point on the sign.

Purpose: The purpose of this section is to provide a system to declare and notify persons of snow emergencies and enforce the provisions for same. Without such provisions, cars remain parked on city streets, impairing effective plowing and snow removal. Consequently, potential hazards are created by unplowed snow and cars parking too far from the curb. B.

The following parking regulations shall be in effect during snow emergencies: 1. On all streets where parking is allowed on both sides, vehicles shall be parked on only the even street numbered side of the street on even days of the month after eight o'clock (8:00) A.M. 2. On all streets where parking is allowed on both sides, vehicles shall be parked on only the odd street numbered side of the street on odd days of the month after eight o'clock (8:00) A.M. 3. On all streets where parking is allowed on only one side, vehicles shall be parked on only the even street numbered side of the street on .even days of the month after eight o'clock (8:00) A.M. and shall be parked on only the odd street numbered side of the street on odd days of the month after eight o'clock (8:00) A.M. No parking shall be permitted on the side of the street where parking is prohibited, 4. All other posted parking regulations and prohibitions, shall remain in effect. For example, on all streets where odd-even calendar parking or other restrictions are posted, those restrictions shall continue in force and effect notwithstanding subsections 1 and 2 above. 5. These regulations shall not apply to metered parking spaces, designated loading zones, and those streets located within the Central Business District, which, starting at the intersection of Burlington and Gilbert Street, is bounded by Iowa Avenue to the north, Capitol Street to the west, Burlington Street to the South and Gilbert Street to the east, with the entirety of the right-of-way of said Central Business District included within this exemption. (1978 Code §23-297; amd. 1994 Code) C. Effective Time Of Snow Emergency: A snow emergency shall take effect not earlier than four (4) hours after it is declared, except if a snow emergency is declared after eight o'clock (8:00) P.M., it shall not take effect until eight o'clock (8:00) A.M. the next day, unless otherwise indicated in the declaration. A snow emergency shall be in force for a minimum of forty-eight (48) hours after taking effect unless cancelled or changed under subsection 9-4-9D below. (1978 Code §23-299) D. Declaration and Notice: 1. The city manager or designee shall declare a snow emergency by written signed notice, filed with the city clerk, stating the beginning and ending time for the period of snow emergency, which ending time shall be a minimum of forty-eight (48) hours after taking effect. If the office of the city clerk is closed, the city manager or designee shall file such notice promptly when the office next is open during normal business hours. 2. The city manager or designee may cancel such declaration or change the beginning or ending time. Notice as provided in subsection D1 of this section shall be given for such cancellations or changes. 3. The city manager or designee shall inform the Iowa City/Cedar Rapids area radio and television stations and the Iowa City newspapers of the snow emergency declaration and when the snow emergency parking regulations for Iowa City will be in effect and ask that public service announcements be made. 4.

The city manager or designee may take such other actions to inform the public of the snow emergency as appropriate. (1978 Code §23-300) E. Towing of Improperly Parked Vehicles: Any vehicle found to be parked where not permitted during a snow emergency will be issued a notice of parking violation pursuant to 9-4-14 of this code and towed to a place designated for the storage of impounded vehicles pursuant to chapter 9 of this title.

This past winter we had problems with people parking on both sides of the streets on Ealing from Cardiff to Aber Drive. It was so bad that I went out and took pictures of the situation. The snow plow was unable to go down the street because of the small clearance between cars. This effectively cut off our access to the safest way out of our "No Outlet" street. I measured a SUV that had later parked on our driveway. There was only a one inch clearance between the parked cars and the side mirrors of the SUV. I witnessed several of my neighbors on numerous occasions unable to come up the Ealing hill to reach Cardiff Circle. One of those days when we had snow, but no removal from the lower part of Ealing, I myself was stuck trying to go up Ealing. It happened to be day I was scheduled to take my 92-year-old mother-in-law to her University of Iowa gerontologist appointment. That appointment was cancelled due to our inability to get out of street. These people all had double driveways in which to put their vehicles but chose on-street parking. Of course, after the snowplow had left, so did they, but the snow was left behind. I support your ordinance of one-sided parking. I feel that my safety in regards to emergency crews access to Cardiff Circle is greatly compromised by the parking situation on Ealing Drive from Cardiff to Aber Avenue. If you wish more information, please contact me at my home. Andrea Rauer 100 Cardiff Circle Iowa City 337-2551 11/3/2008 ,L~, air r i~~ ~ T +, ~ to «l~•'l, ' .}~ < i ~ E.s,x ~~; t ?
