Section 4 - Permissible Signs in Use Districts
Reference was made to the fact that outparcel Class 5 signs should be brought
before the Board for approval.
Prohibited Signs
Page 24, No. 2: Mr. Del Ferro suggested that new businesses might be allowed to
erect a balloon. Requirements might be that the minimum setback would be the
height of the balloon; the maximum height would be subject to the setback
requirement, it would be nonilluminated, and tethered to the ground or struc-
ture.
The consensus was to allow balloons under Class 4 and eliminate the reference
under prohibited signs. They should be allowed for promotional events with the
same time limits and number of permits as banners.
General Regulations
Board Member Hatcher suggested that the cable channel be considered under the
Sign Board. He suggested that the Board should consider reviewing items that
appear on that channel.
sign Permits
It was suggested that language might be added to the repair permit section
indicating that if the amount of the repair was 50% or more of the cost of the sign,
then the sign should be removed.
Chairman Claytor suggested that a deposit be collected on all temporary signs for
future repairs or removal. The owner should be notified that if the sign is not
repaired within 10 days, the City will repair or remove the sign and applicant
would forfeit their deposit.
Section 10
Board Member Hatcher suggested an attendance clause be added to the ordinance.
The consensus of the Board was to recommend to the City Council that the Sign
Ordinance be amended to include an attendance section such as is included in the
Rules and Regulations of the Planning & Zoning Commission, Sections I, II, and
III.
