Subject: Request for Temporary Rooftop Balloon
Metro Sales, 1620 East 78th Street
Council Members:
Wiederkehr Balloons, 130 North St. Croix Trail, Lakeland,
MN, has applied for a permit to place a balloon on the roof of
Metro Sales, 1620 East 78th Street from the morning of May 2
until approximately 6:00 p.m. on May 3, 1985 to announce Metro
Sales' grand opening on those dates. The balloon (copies
attached) would be tied down to the roof, and measure
approximately 20 feet high by 9 1/2 feet wide. Operation of
the balloon would be supervised at all times it is stationed
on the roof.
City ordinance provides that oversize temporary advertising
signs of this nature must be approved by the city council.
The chief inspector and the city planner recommend denial of
this permit as the balloon is oversized and may start a
precedent for advertising signs of this nature. Although city
staff recommends denial of this permit based upon city
ordinances, the city manager recommends that the city council
evaluate this permit request giving consideration to the short
duration of this temporary sign and the potential benefit to a
new business in the community.
This item has been placed on the April 29, 1985, special
city council meeting agenda for council consideration and
action.
