MAY 7 1986 <br />BOOK 64 u-U-C3!�� <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />The staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners adopt <br />the proposed sign ordinance. <br />Planner DeBlois reviewed the purpose and intent of the <br />ordinance, noting that the present ordinance is somewhat vague <br />and the proposed one has been made more specific. <br />Planner Challacombe stated that he would briefly go over the <br />regulations and explain how the Commission and the community will <br />live with this ordinance. He referred to temporary signs that <br />require permits, i.e., political signs and special event signs, <br />and advised these will not require individual permits, but <br />blanket permits with time limits on installation and removal. <br />Commissioner Wodtke noted that political signs, for <br />instance, generally are made out of 4 x 8 plywood, and asked if <br />there is any reason all such signs can't be 16' sq. ft. which <br />would be half a sheet of plywood. <br />Planner Challacombe did not believe staff would have any <br />major concern with that. <br />Discussion continued re various type temporary signs for <br />real estate, construction, etc., the proportion of sizes in <br />difference areas, and Administrator Wright asked how developments <br />that are under construction for more than a year would be <br />handled. <br />Planner Challacombe explained that information would be <br />placed on the permit application and put on a tickler file for <br />review. He noted that the ordinance will grandfather in all <br />existing signs that were legally placed as long as they are <br />properly -maintained. <br />Chairman Scurlock raised a question about signs that are <br />maintained, but are ugly, and Planner Challacombe reported that <br />numerous discussion were held in the workshops re aesthetics and <br />what is "ugly," and the input received indicated that it was felt <br />staff was trying to regulate too much that way. <br />38 <br />
