    The sign shall be kept in good repair and shall be maintained in place until a final decision on the petition has been made by the council, and shall be removed by the petitioner within five days after the final decision.

If the signs are not kept in good repair or removed as required, then the signs shall be deemed a nuisance and may be abated by the city by proceedings under Minn. Stats. ch. 429, or any other then applicable provisions of this Code or state law, and the cost of abatement, including administrative expenses and attorneys' fees, may be levied as a special assessment against the property upon which the sign is located.
