signs is same reason discussed for freestanding church and institution signs: to avoid <br /> unnecessary clear cut just to place a sign and also make signage easier to read. <br /> 11. By revising the fourth and fifth sentences of Section 174-55C to read as follows: <br /> Such signs may not exceed forty (40) square feet in signboard area and may not be closer <br /> than five (5) feet to any lot line or block a line of sight for pedestrian and traffic safety if so <br /> determined by the D.P.,W. Director. The top edge of any such freestanding shall be not <br /> higher than fifteen (15) feet vertical measure above the average level of the ground <br /> between the supports of each sign. <br /> Explanation: The first change is being made for reasons previously discussed. The lowering of <br /> signs from 25 to 15 feet is suggested because otherwise freestanding signs in commercial zones <br /> would be at height that approaches, that of the building height in C zones. <br /> N. Section 174-55D currently reads: Advertising signs or other devices of any kind advertising <br /> products or services for sale shall not be permitted to be affixed to the outside or inside <br /> windows of any structure so as to be visible from outside of the structure, except that such signs <br /> or devices advertising seasonal products or sale items may be permitted, but in no event shall <br /> more than ten percent 10% of the area of the window be covered by said sign or device. <br /> 1. Also by deleting Section 474-55D and replacing it with the following: <br /> Sign coverage of a window shall not exceed 25% of the total window size. A window sign <br /> shall be any sign, picture, symbol, or combination thereof that is placed 'Inside a window <br /> or affixed to the window pane or elass and is intentionally visible from the exterior of the <br /> window. No sign shall be affixed to, the outside of window. <br /> Explanation: This section, as currently written, is, a situation where an attempt is being made to <br /> regulate the "copy" of signs and has been found to be unconstitutional. Therefore it is being <br /> rewritten so that a reasonable amount of window signage can be provided. <br /> 0. Section 174-55E currently reads: No freestanding sign shall have signboard area (or display <br /> area if no signb�o�ard) exceeding the dimensions allowed under Subsection. C above, measured <br /> from the tops of the topmost display elements, and including in such measurements any blank <br /> space between display elements. No display or signboard dimensions shall exceed forty (40) <br /> feet for a freestanding sign. <br /> 1. By revising Section 174-55E to read as follows: <br /> No sign shall have signboard area (or display area if no signboard) exceeding the <br /> 0 0 0 <br /> dimensions allowed, and included in any such area measurements is any space between <br /> display elements'. <br /> Explanation: Changes are being proposed in order to reduce redundancy to the sign article and <br /> make it clearer to read, as Section 174-55C outlines the size requirements. <br /> 46� <br />
