Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes <br />March 19, 1992 <br /> <br />Page 23 <br /> <br />Chairperson Randall opened the public hearing on Petition 92-01(t) <br />asking if anyone would like to speak for or against this petition. <br /> <br />Mr. Amos asked if the board is in violation of the <br />ordinance in that there was no public notice given that <br />this issue was coming up before the board tonight? <br /> <br />Mr. Newton stated no. Mr. Alexander, Attorney for the <br />Board, stated that since this is a recommendation by the <br />planning staff, this would not require public notice. <br /> <br />Mr. Hartgen asked Mr. Newton if he is comfortable with <br />number 3. <br /> <br />Mr. NeWton stated this has been discussed in the office. <br />When he drafted it, he tOok it to Mr. Downs and they <br />talked about the difficulty of enforcing that provision, <br />but it is much clearer and easier to enforce than the <br />current one. <br /> <br />Mr. Huie said he thinks if the board if going to act on <br />something that is going to benefit these people <br />livelihood we need to make a good solid decision. If the <br />board cannot make that tonight, he would like for the <br />board to table this petition. <br /> <br />Mr. Prince, Realtor, stated that number 1 eliminates him. <br />He is over 2 miles from any crossroads so he could not <br />put up a sign, it would not help him one bit. He has got <br />to be able to direct traffic from a major thoroughfare <br />like 49 or 1-85. He is back in the country. The rest of <br />them do not count if number 1 is held up. <br /> <br />Mr. Amos asked Mr. Prince if these changes were going to <br />help him. Mr. Prince stated no. Mr. Amos said the <br />understanding he got from Mr. Newton was that that was <br />one of the intents here in trying to address concerns <br />such as this gentlemans. <br /> <br />Mr. Newton said the intent of this ordinance is to take <br />care of the generic black and white signs. Second, to <br />clarify the use of directional signs. Third is to not <br />have directional signage going to commercial property <br />which is currently permitted. Rather, let it be for the <br />purpose of residential activity. This does not permit <br />signage being placed on utility poles, rocks, the back of <br />speed limit signs or any of those other locations which <br />can be found out there currently. <br /> <br /> <br />
