A. Once an application has been approved, the applicant must pay the fee set forth in the city of Auburn fee schedule to cover the cost of administration, fabrication, installation and maintenance of the memorial sign.

B. The city will furnish, install, remove, and retain ownership of memorial signs.

C. Signs will be installed in accordance with applicable city policies and standards for signs. This includes posts, hardware, materials, vertical, longitudinal, and lateral positioning.

D. The city of Auburn will not install or maintain a memorial sign if there is written opposition from any immediate family member. If written opposition is received from any immediate family member after the sign has been installed, the city will remove the sign. The application fee for a sign that is removed or not installed due to such opposition shall not be refunded to the applicant.

E. Memorial signs shall be placed only in a city right-of-way, on the right side of the roadway, facing oncoming traffic. Signs will not be installed in the median of any city roadway.

F. Memorial signs shall be placed in close proximity to where the accident occurred at a location where the city determines it is safe and practical to do so.

G. Only one sign will be installed per intersection or per 1,000 feet of roadway for each direction of traffic. However, a memorial sign will not be placed nearer than 200 feet from an existing traffic sign or in a location where the memorial sign obstructs the visibility of an existing traffic sign.

H. The city will not replace the sign should it be vandalized, damaged, or found missing; however, the applicant may apply for a new sign under the requirements of this chapter, including payment of the fee set forth in the city of Auburn fee schedule. (Ord. 6149 §§ 1, 2, 2007.)
