Each sign shall be maintained in good order and repair at all
times so that it does not constitute any danger or hazard to public
safety, and is free of peeling paint, major cracks, or loose and dangling
materials.
A.
Any sign lawfully existing or under construction on the effective
date of this chapter, that does not conform to one or more of the
provisions of this chapter, may be continued in operation and maintained
as a legal nonconforming sign. Normal maintenance of such signs, including
changing of copy, necessary repairs, and incidental alterations that
do not extend or intensify the nonconforming features of the sign
shall be permitted. However, no enlargement or extension shall be
made to a legal nonconforming sign unless it will result in the elimination
of the nonconforming features of the sign. If a legal nonconforming
sign is damaged or destroyed by any means, Planning Board review is
required to replace said sign.
B.
The following criteria apply to nonconforming signs:
(1)
No nonconforming sign shall be enlarged or replaced by another
nonconforming sign.
(2)
No alteration or repair shall be made without review and approval
by the Planning Board.
(3)
A nonconforming sign may be temporarily removed for painting
or other normal maintenance for a period not to exceed one month.
A.
Obsolete signs. Any sign, whether existing on or erected after the
effective date of this chapter, that advertises a nonresidential use
no longer being conducted or a product no longer being offered for
sale in or from the premises on which the sign is located, shall be
removed within one year upon the cessation of such nonresidential
use or sale of such product by the owner, agent, or person having
the beneficial interest in the building or premises on which such
sign is located. If the Code Enforcement Officer (CEO) shall find
that any such sign advertising a nonresidential use no longer being
conducted or a product no longer being offered for sale in or from
the premises on which the sign is located has not been removed within
one year upon the cessation of such nonresidential use or sale of
such product, he shall give written notices to the owner, agent, or
person having the beneficial interest in the building or the premises
on which such sign is located. Removal of the sign shall be affected
within 10 days after receipt of the notice from the Code Enforcement
Officer (CEO).
B.
Damaged or unsafe signs. If the Code Enforcement Officer (CEO) shall
find that any sign is damaged, in disrepair, vandalized, unsafe or
insecure, he shall give written notice to the owner, agent, or person
having the beneficial interest in the building or the premises on
which such sign is located. Correction to the condition that caused
the Code Enforcement Officer (CEO) to give such notice shall be effected
within 10 days after receipt of the notice.
