ASHWAUBENON, WI (WTAQ) – Ashwaubenon residents can keep proudly displaying Packers flags, but there’s still an issue with signs.
There was confusion after a man put on social media that the village asked him and his neighbors to take down their Packers flags and signs at the Game Day apartments on Oneida Street.
Andy Sevick lives there.
“spitting distance from Lambeau Field, right across from the Don Hutson Center….it would almost be crazy not to have Packers flags and what-not hanging off”
Sevcik wasn’t happy when his neighbor told him someone from Ashwaubenon’s inspection department came by telling him his Packers and Badgers signs had to be taken down.
But Village President Mike Aubinger says it’s not the flags they have issue with…..it’s the signs.
“the ordinance says you can’t put up temporary signs for more than 30 days….and you need a permit to do it”
There were signs at the apartment building up for longer than 30 days and the village took action after multiple complaints.
The problem was with three plywood signs hanging from the building. The signs have rope lights in the shapes of a W, G, and number 4.
Sevcik says his other flags will be staying up. He says he has more being shipped to hang up as well.
