manner it sees fit, including negotiating the release of the

· o: City Commission
From: David N. Tolces, Assistant City Attorne~
Subject: Revisions LO section 6.3.3 "Newsracks, Benches and
Oth,r Unattached Fixtures in the Rlqh~-of-Wa¥"
This ordinance revises the movable fixture ordinance which
regulates the placement of newsracks, benches and other
unattached fixtures within the Cltyes rights-of-way. The
Commission has reviewed these revisions previously and this
memo will briefly describe the specific revisions.
On Page 3 of the ordinance, the City will now require that all
movable~f/~tures be located no closer than 15 ~ee~ from a fire
hydrant. In area~ where there is & 6 inch high vertically
faced curb, the newsrack may be placed no closer than 2 1/2
feet ~o the curb. In areas where there is not a vertically
faced curb, the movable fixture shall be located no closer than
$0 feet from the edge of the pavement where 10 feet is
available.
Th£s ordinance sets up a 40' by 40' sight triangle at all
~ntersect$ons where movable fixtures over 36" in height will
not be permitted. The ordinance also sets forth a procedure
whereby the City Manager or his designee will desigfl maps
showing locations where movable f~x~ures may be located at City
facilities.
Finally, ~his ordinance deletes the limitation of placing more
than one newsrack within 1,000 feet of another newsrack, and
also removes the color requirement and the res~r£c~ons which
were placed on advertising. I~ is this Office's opinion that
adoption of the revisions to the movable fixture ordinance will
likely withstand a constitutional challenge if one is brought.
Our office is still ztud¥Ing options regarding the repair of
swales for damage caused by =he placement of movable fixtures,
and the possib£1it¥ of obtaining reimbursement from the company
or orpani~ation who places the movable fix=ute there.

CITy _MllNanr°'~ 0F£1c£
To: City Co~ission - .
From: David N. Tolces, Assistant City Attorne~
Subject: Revisions to Newsrack Ordinance
The City Commission, at its April 27, 1993 meeting, granted an
extension of time during which the newsrack ordinance would not
be enforced. The Commission granted an extension of time until
May 25, 1993. Following another meeting with the newspaper
representatives, and Commissioners' comments, it is suggested
that this item be placed on a workshop agenda in order to
clarify some of the changes which are to be made to the
newsrack ordinance. Therefore, at this time it is necessary
that we~equest an extension on the enforcement abatement
period until after a workshop meeting can be held and an
ordinance can be passed. It is anticipated that the newsrack
ordinance will be on your June 8, 1993 meeting. Therefore, the
enforcement abatement should be extended until June 30, 1993.
This would allow for a workshop meeting to be held, the
ordinance presented to the Planning & Zoning Board for review,
and two readings before the City Commission.
If you have any questions regarding this item, please call.
