Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes March 19, 1992 ,, Page 2 2 appropriate to delay it unduly (as would occur if it were to be done as part of the overall zoning update). Chairperson Randall asked Mr. Newton who will interpret which of the four real estate signs are permitted at an intersection? Mr. Newton stated that will be handled by the zoning administrator. Just as he is now forced to face the issue as to whether 3, 4, or 5 signs are permitted, and which 3, 4, or 5 will it be. Mr. Newton stated there is no doubt in terms of, if we have to enforce these signs continually with the real estate companies, we are going to have headaches. But he trusts the realtors and the realtors association to work with the department on this. We have presented this to the zoning update committee before hand, and one of the members of the committee was Bob Smith who also brought the issue up last month. He asked Mr. Smith to tell the board what the committee felt about it. Mr. Smith stated, not speaking for everyone, because the committee did not really bring it ~up to discuss in general. But he does not think that anyone had a problem with it. He thinks in most cases people have some of the same concerns he had last time. Mr. Smith said he does have a question, in item 2, if they have to get a permit, should that permit be registered with us. Mr. Downs said they might want to add an extra line in number 2 stating that we have a copy in our office. Mr. Amos asked if there is any great emergency of acting on this tonight because we have only had a couple minutes to see this. He would feel more comfortable if he had between now and the next meeting to further review this. And if there were any issues the board could propose, maybe some additional wording to address these concerns .so that we do not act in haste. Mr. Newton stated he feels there is a sense of urgency to this document. We have an unfair ordinance in place now. We have sent letters out to realtors asking them to comply with'the ordinance as it has been written for the past series of years but held in abeyance until this board acted as the board of adjustment last month. To act tonight will be a recommendation which would not be received by the Board of Commissioners for another 3 or 4 weeks. It is a relatively simple text amendment of enforceabilities. Compared to what we have now, it is much clearer. He said he would urge the board members to recommend its approval to the County Commissioners.
