504 Second Street Southeast. Vogl update. 3-5-15

The above photo was taken February 15, 2015. 

The above picture was taken 3-2-15.  Notice they even changed their flag that is mounted to their porch on the south side of their home.

See above warning letter.  NOTICE how Ben reminds them , when they were in last summer 2014 to discuss this matter(their non compliant status) they covered up the word "VOGLS"on the rock, to attain compliance.  So they had been told more than half a year ago, by Ben Oleson exactly what they can have legally.  They just didn't care.

 And then they complain to the cops that I am harassing them by taking pictures and video legally from a public street.  If Randy Bjerkness, Kathy Barthel and Jim and Carol Vogl had the guts to complain to the city council and campaign for more signatures on the petition to get rid of the ultra restrictive sign ordinance....maybe THEN the city would listen to its citizenry.  How bout it guys?      

ALSO NOTEWORTHY.....I PUT THIS BLOG UP JUST TODAY AND WALLA.....THEIR FLAG ATTACHED TO THEIR PORCH IS gone.  

Will they stay compliant....or rebel again????¿¿¿¿   Time will tell.

City continues to enforce SELECTIVELY.  Thanks for the proof Ben.

This photo was taken on December 10, 2014.  They took down both flags and covered the VOGLS etched sign on the rock with duct tape.  Gee, I wonder why.  They were adived by the police officer to contact city hall about the sign ordinance rules and compliance.

Months have passed with them in non compliance of the sign ordinance.    They know full well, that they are in violation and don't seem to care.   I guess they feel they are "above the law."  

According to Ben Oleson, the zoning administrator and sign enforcer, they have been sent a warning letter on Monday of this week.  

Now don't get me wrong folks.  I feel that every homeowner should have the RIGHT TO DISPLAY FREE SPEECH SIGNAGE AND FLAGS TO THEIR HEARTS CONTENT.  But it is not to be in this ultra restrictive city.  

If people don't wish to be on my blog, then don't be out of compliance with the city sign ordinance. 

It is my right to exercise my free speech and I will continue to do so.
