§ 78-19. Subdivision directional signs.

Subdivision directional signs shall be permitted within any zoning district, provided they serve a temporary purpose, are maintained in an attractive and sound manner, and are removed at the owner's expense. They are intended to encourage parties involved in subdivision development projects in proximity to one another to work together and place directional information for multiple projects on one sign or sign structure. Subdivision directional signs may be allowed for a period of time from the beginning of the project until ten days following the sale of the final property. Subdivision directional signs shall be subject to the following requirements:

(1)

Shall not be located within ten feet of the pavement of any street and shall not be permitted on any public right-of-way.

(2)

Shall not be illuminated or affixed in any manner to trees, street or light poles, utility poles, other signs or sign structures.

(3)

Shall be made of wood.

(4)

Shall include the name, address and phone number of the owner or party responsible for the removal and maintenance of the sign. This information must be written in weatherproof ink or paint on at least one face of the sign in letters not exceeding one-half inch in height.

(5)

Shall be located no greater than two miles or two intersections as shown on the long range road classification map, whichever is greater, from the project or property to which they refer, as measured along existing streets.

(6)

Signs prohibited under this chapter shall not be used as a subdivision directional sign.

(7)

Subdivision directional signs shall not exceed 24 square feet in total sign area per face with no one project allowed more than four total square feet per face (four projects per face) and shall not exceed eight feet in height, excluding embellishments which shall not exceed two feet above the maximum height of the sign structure.

(8)

Subdivision directional signs shall be limited to four per intersection with no more than one per corner.

(9)

Subdivision directional signs shall be located within 200 feet of an intersection but no closer than 20 feet from the intersection.

(10)

These signs require a sign permit.
