Dear Sign Owner:
Having been in the making for three years, the Springfield Sign Ordinance is a product
of the combined efforts of n. special sign subcommit'tee formed by the Planning Commis-
sion, representatives of the Springfield Chamber of Commerce, and the Springfield Com-
mittee for Citizen Involvement. A number of public hearings also occured for futher .
citizen input. Then, as of January 1981, the Springfield City Council adopted the ne\,. ','
Sign Ordinance. .
.,,~ . .
Section 9-7-21(4) of the Sign Ordinance requires specific ,violations to be corrected
by the sign owner or lessor, when signs are potentially hazardous, Signs Which have
" electrical violations must be corr'ected by 30 days from the date of 'this notice.
. As a result of the recent City-wide sign survey, the following violation was' found on
your property relative to the one year compliance time limit:
, Open: wiring to the projecting sign must be removed. Install conduit as the wiring
'method. Oregon Electrical Safe'ty Specialty Code #600-21 (a)
"
.;",' ,-
,
" ".
.:..
Unless you are both the owner of the building and operator of the business, all elec-
.trical correcti~must be performed by a licensed electrical contractor.
By Febr~ary 12, 1982 , the above referenced violation of the Springfield
Sign Ordinance must be corrected. Because the sign survey was completed in July of
1981, it is possible you have already taken steps to correct or have completed correc-
. ting this violation. If this is the case, please contact this office as soon as pos-
sible. Your required corrections in the future may affect how you choose to perform
the currently required correction.' .
No other sign ordinance violations exist on the property.
