1. By revising in Section 174-54D to read: <br /> One (1) "for sale" or "for rent" s,ign, not more than five (5) square feet in signboard area <br /> 0 <br /> and advertising only the premises on which the sign is located, is permitted. <br /> Explanation: The industry standard real estate sign is five square feet. Therefore this change is <br /> suggested to have a reasonably enforceable By-law. <br /> F. Section 174-54E currently reads: One (1) real estate sign, not more than three (3) square feet <br /> in signboard area, is permitted. Such sign shall be removed forthwith upon the signing of a <br /> legally binding purchase and sales agreement or lease agreement. <br /> By changing the first sentence of Section 174-54E to read: <br /> One (1) real estate sign, not more than five (5) square feet in signboard area, is permitted. <br /> Explanation: Same reason as above. <br /> G. Section 174-54G currently reads: In residential districts, all sign or advertising devices <br /> shall be stationary and shall not contain any visible moving or movable parts. No sign or <br /> advertising device in such districts shall 'be of neon, neon-type or illuminated tube type. <br /> Lighting or any sign or advertising device shall be continuous (not intermittent nor flashing nor <br /> changing)�, and shall be so placed or hooded as to prevent direct light from shining onto any <br /> street or adjacent property. No sign or advertising device shall be illuminated after 11:00 p.m., <br /> except as permitted by the Board of Selectmen, upon application to it for a permit, citing <br /> reasons for the exceptions. <br /> 1. By changing the second sentence of Section 174-54G and inserting a third sentence as <br /> follows: No sign or advertising device on residential property shall be of neon, neon-type <br /> or illuminated tube type. Signs on residential property shall be externally lit. <br /> Explanation: There are only a few nonresidential uses in residentially zoned districts. As these <br /> changes will provide that the only type of lighting allowed on residential property is of the <br /> external type, do not want to exclude nonresidential uses from having these forrns of lighting, so <br /> long as they meet conditions. <br /> H. Section 174-54H currently reads: Subdivisions. One (1) subdivision name sign, not to <br /> exceed twenty (20) square feet, may be permitted for each entry to a subdivision from a public <br /> way. <br /> By changing Section 174-54H to read as follows: <br /> H.
