The Marthasville Board of Aldermen unanimously approved a request from Joe Hackmann to place signage along Highway O during their meeting Dec. 17.
The issue had previously been discussed during the board’s Nov. 19 meeting but it was noted that the city’s current ordinance was not clear with respect to the fee to be charged for such permit applications.
During the Dec. 17 meeting, Hackmann presented his proposal to place two eight-foot by eight-foot signs on his property located on Highway O for the purposes of soliciting advertising. After some discussion regarding fees, it was ultimately decided to approve Hackmann’s application without charging a fee. While the implementation of a fee for future applications was discussed, no fee was set.
The board also spent time discussing the possibility of installing a sidewalk along 5 Street, but the board could not agree on whether to place the sidewalk on the east or west side of the street. Alderman Nicholas Lange argued for placing it on the west side of the street, while Mayor David Lange said the sidewalk would need to be placed on the east side of the street. Ultimately after going back and forth over which side of the street to place the sidewalk on, the board ultimately voted to not install a sidewalk on either side.
