Sign request for United Unitarian Universalist Congregation in right-of-way dies for lack of motion
Summary
A referral seeking permission to place a metal sign for the United Unitarian Universalist Congregation at Summit and Washington was discussed; city engineering recommended against installing signs in the right-of-way under an existing ordinance and no member moved to approve the exception.
The Waukesha City Building & Grounds Committee discussed a request from Alderman Camacho to allow a metal sign for the United Unitarian Universalist Congregation in the public right-of-way at Summit Avenue and Washington.
Darren, a city engineering staff member, told the committee that an existing city ordinance prohibits private signs in the right-of-way and that "our recommendation from engineering is that no signs be installed within the right away for the congregation." He said the congregation can pursue alternative signage on its own property and should coordinate with community development.
Committee members asked whether existing signs were grandfathered; Darren confirmed they are. After discussion about policy and consistency, no member moved to approve an exception to the ordinance. The Chair said the referral "died for lack of a motion."
The committee directed no formal action and advised Alderman Camacho and the congregation to work with community development on on-property signage options.
