1019 Riverview Drive UPDATED 8-10-15

Oh look...1019 Riverview Drive has 5 flags erected 7-24-15. Pictured above.

This home at  609 First St NE  had at least 15-20 flags and signs (or more) on July 12, 2015. Sign ordinance only allows 2 flags or one sign and one flag. Signs cannot exceed 4 sq.ft. if you have one flag, otherwise you can have no more than 8 sq ft of sign space and no flags. Those flag banners mounted to the house count as flags or banners.  This property also has 2 large wooden flags (not pictured) attached to the north side of their home and another on the front of their garage.

They are in violation of the sign ordinance. As of today 7-24-15, all of these flags and signs are still up.

This is  1401 Riverview Drive, about half mile from the city attorney Toni Wetzels home. These pictures were taken 7-12-15 and the giant flag attached to the porch counts as a banner and is more than 8 sq ft.  They COULD legally fly that flag on a pole or suspend so that the top is affixed to pole and bottom flies loose in the wind. That is legal. Size of flag doesn't matter if flag flies in typical fashion.. It has been taken down.

This home is at 1107  West Broadway and in the picture below of their side yard, they are over the 2 flag limit of the sign ordinance. Look closely, they are tiny but every one counts as a flag.  Only time Little Falls residents can have UNLIMITED SIGNS AND FLAGS(SIGN MAYHEM) is before an election.

These flags have all been removed.   

Now so that everyone understands clearly. I OPPOSE having a restrictive sign ordinance. Little Falls would be waaaay better off without one, altogether. Who cares if I have large signs up (or anyone else for that matter)?  For all the time, energy and money spent on enacting the Hopkins model ordinance, everyone is now feeling the pinch...not just me.  If I have to obey the sign ordinance, so do all the rest of you Littlefallsians.  Tis only fair. When enough of you are sick of it, sign the online petition to delete it.

Oh look....even Our Lady of Lourdes Church appears to be in violation of MnDot law, that prohibits signs and banners in the road right of way without a permit from them. This picture was taken July 12, 2015. UPDATE......MN STATUTE 173 allows service clubs and religious organizations to post signs without a permit in the road right of way. Thank you Rich Munsch of MNDOT for informing me.

Wonder how much the church raked in from Budweiser company for helping adverti$e their product?
