improve the visual appearance of the City..."
and "...to encourage sound signing
practices..." (Section 14.12.01.)
(2) A seventy foot flagpole would be out of scale
with surrounding development.

unnecessarily attract attention to the site.

competition between businesses to construct
similarly excessively tall flagpoles.

the City Sign Ordinance can adequately serve
the purpose of flying the flag proudly.
