What is the Flavor of the Day? | Jefferson County News

There has been an ongoing dispute over the sign that USED to be located in front of Katie’s Custard on Jeffco next to Rockport School that announced the current flavor of the day. Katie's has noticed a definite decrease in business due to the lack of the sign. They were notified by the City of Arnold on 9/24/2009 that they had 24 hours to remove their sign or the City of Arnold would remove it for them. They cited Chapter 20.5, Section 20.5-4, Prohibited Signs,

The following types of signs are prohibited in all districts:(1) Abandoned signs.(2) Banners, pennants, festoons, search lights (except as allowed in section 20.5-11(6)).(3) Signs imitating or resembling official traffic or government signs or signals.(4) Snipe signs or signs attached to trees, telephone poles, public benches, street lights, or placed on any public right-of-way.(5) Signs placed on vehicles or trailers which are parked or located for the primary purpose of displaying said sign (this does not apply to allowed portable signs or to signs or lettering on buses, taxis, or vehicles operating during the normal course of business).(6) Off-premise signage except as permitted in areas zoned commercial or industrial that are within six hundred sixty (660) feet of primary and interstate highways (see sections 20.5-13 and 20.5-14).(7) Home occupation shall not allow signage.(8) Portable signs.(9) Illegal signsThere was no specific section from above stated as the violation but portable sign was written on a line.

or Section 20.5-11 Temporary Signs. (7) (7) Temporary signs shall be located no closer than fifteen (15) feet from the driving lane or shoulder of any street or road. No political sign shall be located within the right-of-way of any street or road. A temporary sign by their definition is: A sign not constructed or intended for long term use. Which the sign in question was not, as it was permanently anchored to the ground, had no wheels and was quite difficult to remove.

On further investigation it was noted that there a quite a few signs similar to this located at New Hope Church, Immaculate Conception Church, Dylan’s and then of course there are quite a few unsightly signs that definitely are not permanent and are still standing as of today. Aaron's at 141 and Jeffco, The vegetable stand at Tenbrook and Jeffco, the Jiffy Lube on Jeffco. Pictures will be posted see what you think
