• Commercial businesses weren't looked at in residential zones when current <br /> ordinance was written. <br /> • A 4' X 4' two-sided sign may be large enough. <br /> • Discontinue counting both sides; determine a square footage that is adequate or <br /> reasonable. <br /> • Residential areas are places to live and should be kept in mind when increasing <br /> square footage. <br /> • Rural Residential lots are larger and usually have higher speed zones. <br /> • 55 mph speed zones should have same consideration given as in the commercial <br /> area, with reasonable limits. <br /> • There could be different scales considering the zoning and speed limit. <br /> • Certain types of businesses need off-site signage for direction. <br /> • Use a 7-word guideline for content; less is more. <br /> • Allow up to 32 square feet; 16 sf for two-sided or 32 sf for one-sided. <br /> • Allow signage on accessory structures; 10% or 15% depending on setback from <br /> roadway. <br /> • Sensible guidelines will deter CUP requests for additional signage. <br /> • County State Aid Highways (CSAH's)have a greater setback, larger right-of- <br /> way; need larger sign area than a regular county road. Could use that instead of <br /> the zoning to determine the ordinance. <br /> • Do not limit accessory structures for the placement of signs. Allow one 10% sign <br /> on building, either primary or accessory. <br /> Staff was directed to advertise the meeting for next month. <br /> b.
