AUDIENCE COMMENTS
Steve Sabo, 207 April Lane, addressed the Board regarding the situation of roadside signs. Mr. Sabo suggested two ideas in order to control the number of signs being placed within the Village. One idea would be to require signs to include the sign holder’s name, phone number and address. Another suggestion would be to have police watch for the vehicles placing the signs. Trustee Herwig mentioned that a special sign permit could be requested that would allow certain signs to be placed within the Village. Mr. Sabo asked if the Village could charge a recovery fee in order for a developer to get their signs back. McLaughlin said Staff discussed sending the developer a letter first informing them not to place their signs in Village right-of-ways, citing the Village Ordinance and explaining the penalties.
DeWayne Williams mentioned that a number of people have complained about the signs at the intersection of Oak and Orchard. Three of those properties are not in the Village and therefore the Village would be unable to enforce the Ordinance on those developers.
