Sabjec� F1N:Real Estate Signs(emphasis-off premise signs) - Public Hearing 3/6/12
Importanae: High
Hello Stuart;Mayor Lewis, Councilwoman Backus, Councilman Peloza, and Mr. Snyder---
Please allow my letter below to be read and considered during the Public hearing this evening.
; ''can't.say enough how important the Home Building Industry is_to our local economy. The industry is still
.itremely fragile as our economy tries to recover--and the home building industry is a key component of an.
economy that is still very weak.
I applaud the Auburn City Council's decision last yeaz to enact this Ordinance---and I encourage the Council to
wisely extend the Ordinance for 2 more yeazs--we need to support the home building industry, and signage is
keyto getting traffic to the various developmeats underway in Auburn.
Thanks for yoiu time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Mike J

Good Moming Stuart---Happy Tuesday!
Please consider this letter to be read at the Public hearing on Real Estate Signs. I would be there in person
myself;however„I azn out of town at this time:
I would like to advocate for extending the current Off-Premise Sign Temporary Ordinance. The Auburn City
Council was wise lasf yeaz in it's decision to enact tlie Off Premise Real Estate Sign Ordinance last yeaz. Home
Building is a key part of the economy that is still shvggling to get out of the depression that the home building ' �
industry has been in for the last 3+years. Home Building is the economic engine that is necessary in order to `
have a suong economy--it is an indushy that employs many people in all typesof uaried industries from
engineers, architects, surveyors;site development companies thatprovide roads, sewers and water.
The home building industry supports steel workers,concrete and masonry workers, carpenters,roofers,painters,
carpet and flooring installers, and home security companies to name a few. The industry also supports stores
like local hardware stores and home improvement stores like Lowe's and Home Depot.
All of these companies have office staff like receptionist,accountants and warehouse personnel.
We have many home builder clients that aze still struggling to make sales as they compete with foreclosed
homes that are a drag on the mazket.,
Our customers are in support of the Temporary Real Estate Sign Ordinance and would like to see it eactended fa
at least 2 more years.
z
', I:tughly recommend that the Aubum City Council extend this temporary ordinance in support of the Home
Building Industry and the jobs and taxes revenues that are generated due to home building activity.

Deaz Mr. Partridge,
Thank you for taking the time to speak with me last Friday on the phone.It is refreshing to speak with a
politiciaii who will listen and acrively dialog with a consrituent.
I am writing in opposition to any lawathat allow the uncontrolled posting of si�s like the ones in the
picture below. There are a number of issues that make these sign§undesirable:
I. They blight our neighborhoods. These signs make bw commariity lookbad.
2. They aredistracting to drivers. They have a tendency to take drivers°eyes off the road, which leads to more
accidents.
j �They aze,an unnecessary traffic hazazd. In the event that a driyer loses control of his vehicle,these signs are
an o6struction that could s,eriously injure or kill the driver or passenger: Imagine hitting the pictured 4x4 posts
and plywood board. Unlike the speed lunit sign(which is likely designed as a breakaway post, and less likely to
i
complicate an auto accident), the advertisement does not pmvide any information that will aid the driver in r
safety.
4. They do not provide any useful information. Many of the signs do not provide directions, contact
information, or even information about the products being sold. Even those signs that do provide information
are generally ineffective, as so many of the new signs added over the past sever�l years have been for home
builders. The majority of home shoppers today use a mix of a hired realtor and online listings such as Zillow or
MLSOnline. Very few people do "drive arounds" to shop for a home.
What kind of community do we want? One that is full of billboards and advertisements,or one that is pleasant
to live in? I want a community WITHOUT signs and banners and advertisements on every streetcomer.
Thank you for your consideration on this issue.

Subject: FW; �fy of Aubum -Notice of Intent to Adopt DevelopmentRegulations- Exped(ted review requested
Morning Stu_art,
Pat O'Leary here at WSDOT. I manage the departmenYs Highway Advertising Control Program.Advertising signs visible
tq city streeu that are part of statelfiighways fall under purview of state/federel laws in addition to your local age,ncy
codes/regulations.In that regard, Leah sent the proposed revision along to me for review.Quick review of regulated
routes in the City of Au6urn indicates SR 18,SR 164 andSR 167 travel through the city.
Here's a link to the WSDOT advertising sign regulation manual:
httn://www.wsdot.wa.eov/aublications/manuals/fulltezt/M22-95/HixhwavAdvertisineControl.odf
To the point . . . I'm sending this email to getsome information and your opinion about the citWssignregulations. Does
the city sign code allow'Real Estate signs in public roadway rights of way? If so,.under what specific conditions(does
ieriphery' mean inside the r/w)? If the code makes such allowance,theremay be a conflict withstate law where the
right of way is state highway right of way.
With the exception of offcial signs such as Moto�istJnformation/Tourist Oriented signsand adopt-a-highway signs,
state law prohibits advertising signs in the state highway right of way. RCW 47.42.080(5) This prohibition includes Real
Estate signs. Real Estate (Property for sale/lease)signs are allowed on private property being offered for sale pursuant
to proVisions of WAC 468-66-050(2).
Without studying your entire sign code, I don't know if it addresses the issue of city street/state highway and
compliance w/state law in addition to city code.
Thanks in advance for your consideretion,
