The City of Monticello, Iowa
IN THE NAME AND BY THE AUTHORITY OF THE CITY OF MONTICELLO, IOWA
RESOLUTION #19-25
Resolution to approve Pole Sign Request of Monticello Family Dentistry
WHEREAS, Monticello Family Dentistry is going to be under new ownership which will trigger the requirements of the Signage Code that all signs on the property come into compliance with the City Code, and as the sign on this property is a “pole sign” under the Code and commercial properties are supposed to utilize Monument Style signage absent special permission for a pole sign, a request has been brought forward to allow the pole sign to remain in place, and
WHEREAS, The Planning & Zoning Board has considered the request and has recommended that the pole sign be permitted to remain at its’ current location so long as the owners of the property apply for and obtain a Right-of-Way Permit from the City that allows the sign to remain and sets forth the requirements and obligations placed on the owner to move the sign, whether temporarily or permanently, upon the request of the City if and when the City should need to utilize the ROW for City infrastructure or other permissible purposes, and
WHEREAS, The City Council finds that the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Board should be followed and that the pole sign is appropriate for this business at this location after a consideration of the facts and circumstances associated therewith, and should be approved.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of Monticello, Iowa does hereby approve of the Pole Sign request at the Monticello Family Dentistry location, allowing the pole sign to remain moving forward as being consistent with the Code of Ordinances as currently written, with the understanding that the owners will be required to apply for and receive a right-of-way permit, the language of which will allow the City to force the removal, temporary or permanent, of the sign should that become necessary as set forth within the body of this Resolution and further detailed in the ROW Permit.
IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, I have hereunto subscribed my name and caused the Great Seal of the City of Monticello, Iowa to be affixed hereto. Done this 18th day of February, 2019.
