SUBJECT:ENCROACHMENT PERMIT FOR SIGN OUTSIDE BUILDING AT 119 MAIN
STREET - MARY JANE'S BAR & STAGE
COUNCIL ACTION FORM
BACKGROUND:
The tenant in the building at 119 Main Street, Mary Jane's Bar & Stage, is seeking approval for
a sign outside the building that is 47 inches high and 47 inches wide . An Encroachment Permit
is necessary to allow this sign to be installed over the right-of-way.
Chapter 22.3(3) of the Ames Municipal Code requires approval of the Encroachment Permit
Agreement by the City Council before the Permit can be issued. By signing the Agreement,
the applicant and owner agree to hold harmless the City against any loss or liability as a result
of the encroachment, to submit a certificate of liability insurance that protects the City in case
of an accident, and to pay the fee for the Encroachment Permit. The applicant and owner also
understand that this approval may be revoked at any time by the City Council. The fee for this
permit was calculated at $25, and the full amount has been received by the City Clerk’s Office
along with the certificate of liability insurance.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Approve the request for an encroachment permit.
2. Deny the request for an encroachment permit.
CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
The application meets the criteria for the approval of an Encroachment Permit, and the
required fee and insurance have been received by the City Clerk’s Office. It is therefore,
the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt Alternative No. 1, as
described above.
