Promote the safety, comfort and well-being of the users of streets, roads and highways in the Village;
(4) 
Protect property values, create a more attractive economic and business climate, and protect the physical appearance of the community;

Discourage excessive visual competition in signage and ensure that signs aid orientation and adequately identify uses and activities to the public; and

Structural support. The supporting structure or bracing of a sign shall not be computed as part of the sign area unless such supporting structure or bracing is made a part of the message with the inclusion of any text or graphics. If such is the case, a combination of regular geometric shapes which can encompass the area of said text or graphics shall be included as part of the total sign area computation. See Figures 3 and 4.
B. 
Height of signs.
(1) 
Freestanding sign. The height of a freestanding sign (such as a ground sign or pole sign) shall be calculated by measuring the vertical distance between the topmost edge of such sign or its structure, whichever is highest, to the elevation of the ground directly beneath the center of the sign. See Figures 3 and 4.
(2) 
Other signs. The height of an awning, projecting, suspended, wall, or window sign shall be determined by measuring the vertical distance between the topmost edge of the sign face to the bottommost edge of the sign face. See Figures 1 and 2.

The illuminance of a digital sign shall be measured with an illuminance meter set to measure footcandles accurate to at least two decimals. Illuminance shall be measured with the digital sign off, and again with the digital sign displaying a white image for a full color-capable sign, or a solid message for a single-color sign. All measurements shall be taken at a height of at least five feet and a distance determined by the following calculation. All fractions shall round up to the nearest foot.

B. 
Nothing in this section shall be construed to prevent or discourage repair and maintenance of a nonconforming sign, including sign maintenance, repainting and replacement of broken or deteriorated parts of the sign itself. Supporting structures of nonconforming signs shall not be replaced, unless such replacement will make the sign and sign structure conforming in all respects to this article.
