MAY 7 1986 BOOK 64 F Gr.3, 32 <br />Nancy Offutt, liaison for the Chamber of Commerce and the <br />Board of Realtors, felt the ordinance as proposed is quite <br />acceptable, but in regard to the statement made that <br />grandfathering should not prevail against change of use, she <br />explained that was argued against in workshop because it was felt <br />consideration must be given to the large economic investment such <br />a sign might represent, sometimes as much as $20-30,000. The <br />compromise was to suggest an abandoned sign could be done away <br />with. Mrs. Offutt urged that the Board not change grandfathering <br />re change of use. In regard to aesthetics, she noted it is very <br />difficult to try to define ugly. She believed the community is <br />interested in aesthetics and also felt it is generally accepted <br />that attractive signs are in the interest of good marketing and <br />promotion. She recommended the Board adopt the ordinance as <br />proposed. <br />It was determined no one else wished to be heard. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED by Commis- <br />sioner Bowman, the Board unanimously closed the <br />public hearing. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED by Commis- <br />sioner Wodtke, the Board unanimously adopted Ordi- <br />nance 86-31 as amended with the thought that it still <br />does not properly address the issue of aesthetics. <br />46 <br />W <br />
