Other Business:
Mr. Del Ferro reported that four Class 4 signs have been permitted during August
and September of 1989.
The Board reviewed the previously discussed issue of adding text to the Political
Sign section of the Sign Regulations Ordinance that would indicate that these signs
could not be placed in the medians and the consensus was that the wording should
be taken from the Weekend Directional Signs section and added to the Political Sign
section.
MOTION: Upon a motion by Board Member Leverett and a second by Board
Member Hall, the Board voted 3 FOR and 0 OPPOSED to recommend to
the City Council that additional text be added to the Political Sign
section of the Sign Regulations Ordinance indicating that these signs
are not allowed in street medians, and that the wording be consistent
with that used in the Temporary Weekend Directional Signs section.
The Board discussed a letter received from Business Management Systems
regarding a desire for fewer restrictions on banners. Discussion was held
regarding these requirements. Board Member Leverett stated that he has reviewed
the ordinance with regard to banners in the past, and does not feel there is any
need to change it at this time as the present ordinance allows proper control. He
suggested that the usefulness and effectiveness of a banner is over after two
weeks.
Chairman Chrisman stated that he realized it was difficult to monitor and control
the banners; however, they tend to become worn looking very quickly. He would
not be encouraged to expand the time period that a banner could be allowed.
Board Member Leverett added that he feels that banners are very effective as they
are designed to be used at this time. He suggested the possibility of allowing
banners for a two-week period every 90 days, split one week at a time. He
suggested that the problem referenced in the letter from Business Management
