Subject: Temporary Sign Ordinance exception UPDATE
UPDATE to recent post – it was a town employee enforcing the ordinance and he was super nice about it and is allowing us to put them out until the end of the week. They were NOT confiscated. The ordinance is a county-wide thing, but the county is not enforcing the off-premise signs in the right-of-way, which is what we have, until they get more information from the state regarding authority to do so (per Sally Kost via reply e-mail). Per William Terry, town manager, they are enforcing the ordinance.
My only concern is why our two signs are such an issue. We put them out and pick them up everday. They are neatly done and small enough for commuters to see. I am sure the ordinance was not put in place for the reason we have them so why can’t our signs be an exception?
FYI…we do plan on getting a permanent sign in conjunction with the business that is opening up where we are located, but that isn’t for a few months or more.
Thank you,
Tina Meeks
