Elkhorn, NE, Self-Storage Facility Gets Approval for 12-Story Flagpole

Dino’s Storage, which operates self-storage facilities in Iowa and Nebraska as well as Winnipeg, Canada, received approval on Wednesday to erect a 12-story flagpole at Elkhorn, Neb., location. Owner Dave Paladino requested a permit from the Omaha Planning Board to add the 125-foot pole to the property at 20800 W. Dodge Road. City zoning regulations limit pole height to 75 feet, according to the source.

The idea for the super-high pole came from company president Jena Bailey. It’ll generally display the American flag, though Paladino will also fly a Nebraska Cornhuskers college-football flag on game days. The flags will measure 20-by-30 or 30-by-40 feet, the source reported.

“We just want to send a statement that we just need to be more patriotic,” said Paladino, who also displays Bible verses on his facility business message boards. “I wish Americans loved America as much as other countries love America.”

Paladino and Bailey expected the board to deny the request after the city’s planning department recommended its rejection. However, board member Trenton Magid moved to approve the permit, and all seven board members agreed. Now the request goes to the city council. If it’s approved, Paladino plans to immediately install the pole, which will cost about $50,000.

Paladino founded Dino’s Storage in 1998. It operates three facilities in Iowa, eight in Nebraska and a single site in Winnipeg. Paladino also owns Landmark Group, a boutique real estate agency.
