CARRIED
PUBLIC INPUT SESSION
There were no questions from the public.
NEW BUSINESS
Sign Permit #141-15, Commercial Highway Bulletin
Applicant: Airdrie Chamber of Commerce
Owner: City of Airdrie
Location: East Side of Highway 2, West of Springhaven Court SE
Staff Contact: Will Czaban
The Airdrie Chamber of Commerce has applied for a development permit to
renew the approval for their existing Highway Bulletin Sign located on the east
side of Highway 2 and immediately west of Springhaven Court SE.
A question arose as to the purpose of the north facing advertising on the east
side of the highway. Lorna Hunt, Executive Director, Airdrie Chamber of
Commerce advised that the sign has always been two sided. The two sides
make the sign more valuable and bring in additional revenue. The north facing
advertising is quite visible to southbound traffic on the west side of the highway.
A comment was made that the previous renewal expired on November 15, 2015
so the applicant is technically in violation of the Land Use Bylaw. W. Czaban
advised that the application was received prior to November 15, 2015 and has
been under review.
It was questioned whether Alberta Transportation has an approval process for
signs along Hwy 2. T. Corbett advised that Alberta Transportation does give
some direction, especially for any signage that could confuse drivers or restrict
traffic flow.
2016-P-009
Sign Permit #141-15
K. Terry “that the Airdrie Municipal Planning Commission approve Sign Permit
#141-15 by the Airdrie Chamber of Commerce for a development permit to
renew the approval for their existing Highway Bulletin Sign located on the east
side of Highway 2 and immediately west of Springhaven Court SE, subject to
the following conditions and notations:
1. This permit shall expire three years from date of issuance, or at such time as
the property owner (City Council) requires the sign to be removed, whichever
is earlier.
2. The approved development, including any landscaping and site
improvements, shall be completed as per the approved plans and in
accordance with the requirements of the City of Airdrie’s Land Use Bylaw
and Engineering Standards, to the satisfaction of the City of Airdrie,
notwithstanding any variances granted by the Development Authority.
3. The Highway Bulletin shall be constructed and installed in accordance with
the approved plans.
4. The Highway Bulletin shall be illuminated in accordance with the Land Use
Bylaw.
5. The lawful owner of the Highway Bulletin shall be responsible for the
maintenance of that sign to an acceptable standard, to the satisfaction of the
Approving Authority.
Notations
• The Municipality shall not be held liable for any injury, loss or damage
suffered by any person or corporate body which is caused by any sign
located in the Municipality, whether or not the sign is in accordance with the
requirements of this Bylaw.
• Compliance is to be maintained with Land Use Bylaw No. 09/2005 (copy
available at City office), this permit and the approved site and design plans.
• All other necessary permits and inspections are the responsibility of the
applicant.”
CARRIED
INFORMALS
M. Steffler – Status of Fletcher Village application? T. Corbett advised that the

response has been received, although she understands that Fletcher Village did
hire an independent lawyer.
A. Holmes – Would it be possible to get “minimums” and “maximums” for
requirements?
F. Burley – How often is the display on the LED sign on Hwy 2 just south of
