business if she is unable to display the portable sign referred to in
the violation letter.
Heidi Wood, 1411 17th Street NE, Auburn
Ms. Wood stated that she is part owner of Sorello's Espresso. Ms.
Wood requested that Council consider changes to Auburn City
Code Section 18.56.040 "Special Signs". Ms. Wood referred
Councilmembers to item "D" related to portable signs. Ms. Wood
stated that Section 18.56.040 has not been revised since 1986 and
proportions for portable signs have changed significantly. Portable
signs allow additional exposure for small businesses that share
property with larger businesses. Small businesses rely on portable
signs to avoid the high cost of installing permanent signage and the
cost of required permits. Ms. Wood requested that Council
consider changes to the code with regard to size and placement of
portable signs.
Mayor Lewis referred Ms. Borchers' and Ms. Woods' request to
Planning and Community Development Director Krauss for review
in the Planning and Community Development Committee and the
Planning Commission.
