Springfield, Oregon
RE: Sign at 2251 Main Street, Springfield,
Oregon
97477
Dear Sign Owner:
In the planning stages for three years, the Springfield Sign Ordinance is a product
of the combined efforts of a special sign subcommittee 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 further
citizen input. Then, in January 1981, the Springfield City Council adopted the new
Sign Ordinance.
Section 9-7-22 (,3) of'the Sign Ordinance requires specific violations to be corrected
by the sign o~~er or lessor within one year of'the date of its adoption. Rotating or
moving signs, signs "i th blinking or flashing lights" banners, flags, posters, pennants,
ribbons, streamers, signs which are located too close to overhead power lines or con-
ductors, and off-premise signs (advertising a business or activity not conducted on the
premises where the sign is located) are among the signs made ,non-conforming by the new
Sign Ordinance.
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:
A sign with flashing lights is located on your property.
By February 14, 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 correcting this
violation. If this is the case, please contact this office as soon as possible.
