Visual requirements of highway billboards.
(a)
Any highway billboard shall be constructed so
that the advertising surfaces of the highway billboard are oriented
in a manner that advertising on both sides of the structure are as
perpendicular to I-95 as possible. The widest part of the sign structure
shall face I-95. The highway billboard structure shall be painted
in a dull gray/blue finish, or in such other color as the Planning

of the structure on the surrounding area.

Lighting for a highway billboard shall be designed
so as to preclude glare and light spillover to any residential dwelling
within 1,000 feet of the proposed sign. If it is determined by the

affect dwellings within 1,000 feet, the sign shall incorporate a device
capable of turning off all lighting until two hours before sunrise
as determined by the National Weather Service under NOAA.
(c)
No sign under this article shall include revolving,
blinking, flashing, sequential type lighting or similar type of lighting.
Lighting used to provide time, date or temperature and occupying less
than 20% of the area of the sign is permitted.

If the Planning Board requires a determination
as to the impact of any proposed lighting, the analysis shall be conducted
by a qualified professional retained by the Board and paid by an escrow
fund to be provided by the applicant.
(9)
Content of a sign. No sign shall be permitted which
advertises activities that are illegal under federal, state or local
law, or which is misleading.
