The permit shall be posted in a conspicuous place on the premises, outdoors or at the front entrance to the garage, patio or yard. The permit shall be posted in a place which is readily visible from the permitted address street frontage, unless the sale is taking place in a location in which the address frontage is an alley way, in which case the permit shall be posted in a place which is calculated most reasonably to give notice to anyone driving by of the content of the permit.

The permit fee schedule shall be as follows:

• A. First time during calendar year, permit required (no fee);

• B. Second time during calendar year, permit fee as set by the city council;

Sales shall only be located on property that is used for residential purposes. Church rummage sales shall be located on the church property. No sales shall be permitted on properties which are adjacent to school entrances and exits where students are dropped off or picked up other than on days in which there is no school in session such as weekends and holidays.

There shall not be more than two (2) sales allowed per calendar year at any one (1) address, unless a conditional use permit is filed and approved by the planning commission.

Signs advertising a sale shall be located on the property only. Individual signs shall not exceed three (3) square feet; total signs shall not exceed nine (9) square feet in the aggregate, and shall not be placed so as to block vehicular or pedestrian view from adjoining properties. Posting of signs shall be only during time of sale and in conformance with Chapter 17.72 of this title.
