<br />Zoning Commission looked at sign ordinances from numerous cities in formulating this <br />new ordinance. <br /> <br />Council Member Capra noted the Economic Development Committee has requested that <br />Council not approve this until it receives clarification on commercial signage concerning <br />wall signs. <br /> <br />Council Member Nelson stated she objects to home-based businesses with county road <br />frontage being allowed 24 square feet of signage. Her main concern is for allowing a <br />commercial type sign in a residential yard. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers stated she did not believe there were very many <br />locations where this new signage would apply. <br /> <br />Council Member Nelson expressed a concern for the size of the sign and stated she <br />believed the issue was worth the expense and time of re-noticing for a public hearing. <br />She stated she would be more comfortable if a larger sign were allowed just along Main <br />Street but not all county roads. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated she believed the size of the sign would be <br />more of a problem along Main Street than along county roads where vehicles travel at a <br />higher rate of speed. <br /> <br />Mr. March stated he believed based on the speed of traffic, the sign would not appear that <br />large. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers inquired as to the cost of publishing for a public <br />hearing. Mr. March indicated the cost was approximately $75. <br /> <br />Council Member Nelson would like to remove the last two (2) sentences and allow home- <br />based businesses a sign of only four (4) square feet. <br /> <br />Motion bv Council Member Nelson. seconded bv Council Member Capra to send <br />Ordinance #39 back to the Plannin!!: and Zonin!: Commission to review the section <br />of the ordinance concernine home-based business si!!:ns.
