6-a. Title 14 Code Revisions
Kebschull reported she and the City Attorney researched sign codes for a sample
dealing with aerial signs. Kebschull continued, they found many areas don't allow
them and staff recommended balloons or other gas-filled figures not be permitted. A
lengthy discussion ensued regarding aerial signs. Bryson asked if the height
requirement for the signs could be changed to equal the post extensions anal/or
property lines. Discussion took place on the variable winds in Kenai and how the sign
may encroach onto neighboring properties as a result. Kebschull pointed out
enforcement would be very difficult. After much discussion it was decided Kebschull
would go back to the City Attorney to determine whether or not an actual airspace
encroachment would exist, and if sa, aerial signs would not be permitted.

City to keep the Board intact. Councilman Frazer noted, and it was confirmed by
Councilwoman Swarner, that attendance was a problem for the Board. Kebschull
