Home My WebLink About8.1 Dublin Blvd Banner Encroachment Permit CITY OF DUBLIN AGENDA STATEMENT MEETING DATE : September 12 , 1983 SUBJECT : Encroachment Request - Banner Over Dublin Boulevard EXHIBITS ATTACHED: 1 ) Letter From the Children ' s Theatre Workshop 2 ) Copy of City of Livermore Standards For Banners RECOMMENDATION: 1 ) Approve installation of permanent poles for banner erection on the east side of San Ramon Road between Dublin Boulevard and Amador Valley Boulevard 2 ) Authorize installation . of an advertising banner by Children ' s Theatre Workshop subject to installation of banner poles, waive encroachment permit fees , inspection fees and bonds, subject to a certificate of insurance covering the City against damage caused by reason of the sign being placed over the roadway FINANCIAL STATEMENT : Banner pole installation will cost approximately $800 DECRIPTION: The Children ' s Theater Workshop, a non-profit organization, will be holding plays within the City of Dublin four times within this fiscal year . The Workshop has requested the City ' s authorization to hang a banner advertising each performance for a two-week period preceeding each performance . Inasmuch as the banner would need to be attached to both a PG&E pole and a Pacific Telephone pole, this request was referred to the Dublin Underground Utility Committee . At the Committee meeting , PG&E indicated that it would not permit banners to be attached to its utility poles due to dangerous past experiences . Pacific Telephone & Telegraph indicated it would permit a banner to be attached to its poles . The Underground Utility Committee recommended that the best location for the banner using existing poles would be on the south side of Dublin Boulevard between San Ramon Road and Regional Street, to span from a PT&T pole on the south curb line to a State-owned light pole in the median. Staff contacted the State of California and the State indicated that it would not permit any banners to be attached to its light poles . Since neither PG&E nor the State of California will permit banners attached to their facilities, the installation of advertising banners would be precluded in the City. PG&E has offered to donate two metal poles to the City of Dublin within the next few months to be used as permanent banner standards . The installation of such poles would enable the City to accommodate groups advertising events of interest to the entire community. The City would have to pay for the installation of the metal poles . Staff has reviewed the locations for the permanent banner poles and recommends that the poles be placed on the east side of San Ramon Road between Dublin Boulevard and Amador Valley Boulevard, one pole in the median and one pole in the east sidewalk area . With respect to the Children ' s Theatre Workshop encroachment request for the installation of an advertising banner and waiver of permit fees , it is recommended that the City Council authorize the installation of the advertising banner pending the installation of the permanent banner poles, and further that the Council waive the encroachment permit fees, inspection fees and bonds, subject to the Children ' s Theatre Workshop providing the City with a certificate of insurance covering the City against damage caused by reason of the sign being placed over the roadway. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ COPIES T0: Children ' s Theater Workshop PG&E, PT&T, Dublin Police, ITEM NO. 8. 1 DSRSD Fire Dept .a x l.�d e� Wea tte G Off" eS�I 00 ........... l � 5 r y4 `:{ y"t,.9'+,�. j";iY, ll lY t,ll�l;t4 I :�6 1.�t L ��',�ITaI� tl '.I. IV A d' June 16, 1983 � �= CtiVEp i Mr. Lee Thompson JUN 2 f-_31983 7051 Dublin Blvd. ary Or i?i,aLyt! Dublin, CA 94568 Dear Mr. Thompson: Children's Theatre Workshop, a non-profit, award winning theatre company produces high quality plays for the valley's children and their families. We perform each of our productions in Dublin, Pleasanton and Livermore. At this time, we are requesting a permit for encroachment to hang an advertising banner on Dublin Blvd between RB Furniture and Grand/Auto. Our banner, made to the City of Livermore specifi- cations , is constructed of _durable canvas with wind pressure relief holes, 30' x 3' in size with sufficient nylon rope to hang from two facing utility poles , designed to- withstand wind loads. It hangs at least 16' from the centerline of the street at the lowest point, and is printed on both sides. We request permission to hang it two weeks before each of our performances at Dublin High School 's Little Theatre. The dates are as follows: 1983 - Nov. 14 thru Nov. 28 A Christmas Carol 1984 - Jan. 2 thru Jan. 16 Androcles and the Lion Feb. 20 thru Mar. 5 Rumpelstiltskin Apr. 23 thru May 7 Dr. Doolittle . Because of CTW's limited budget, we are requesting a waiver of fees. In the past two years , we have found that a banner hung on a main street in Livermore and Pleasanton is an invaluable advertising tool for our theatre productions. We hope to attract a larger Dublin audience in this way as we continue to serve the children of your city. Please call me if there are any questions regarding this matter. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, . v Andy Jorgensen Executive Director Post Office Box 1922 Pleasanton, California 94566-0192 415/846-5400 May 10, 1982 POLICY STATEMENT STREET BANNER ERECTION AND REMOVAL A street banner is occasionally approved for erection across Fourth Street between "J" and "K" Streets for the advertisement of various civic activities in the community.
