HomeMy WebLinkAboutCOM 0160.005 1998-2000 Re: Bill #280 Draft#2 Amending Chapter 3 Article 1
Section 3-9 (B): Residential signs advertising the sale, rental or lease of the
residential premises shall be 8 sq. ft. as ordinance currently reads and delete
3.5 sq. ft. This change would adversely affect our industry.
Add in the following: "that on vacant land for sale or lease signs of parcels
35 acres or larger the sign may not exceed 32 sq. ft."
Section 3-7 (3): Delete "only 1 ground sign shall be permitted per lot,
even if the lot is occupied by multiple businesses" This is unfair to small business
owners and is an unnecessary restriction.
Section 3-9 (B): Delete "that upon escrow closing sign must be removed
within 48 hours." Usually the realtor or new owner removes the sign. Since this
is not a problem there is no justification for more government cumbersome
regulations.
Re 3-35 (A): Delete section "a". Any sign already permitted should be
grandfathered in. We should not be penalizing business owners for following the
existing regulations and permit process. This would cause a tremendous hardship
costing businesses thousands of dollars in the process. In this poor economy
many businesses could not survive this economic hardship.
Section 3-12 (6): Change 25% to 100%. A window sign should be
whatever the business owner deems reasonable for his business.
Section 3-7 (b) (1) (2): Delete the word "dedicated" as many subdivisions
are not County roads.
Section 3-38: The fine in Draft 3 is much to severe. The wording from
Draft 1 should be acceptable. R~~EO
