(a) Signs required. Within seven days after the filing of an application for sketch plan approval, signs that face all contiguous rights of way shall be posted on the property and the developer shall file a certification with clear photographic evidence to verify compliance with this subsection. The Office of Planning and Zoning shall furnish signs to the developer that contain, at a minimum, the project and subdivision number, the name of the applicant, and a telephone number for additional information. The developer is responsible for posting and maintaining the signs.
(b) Location. Signs shall be located not more than 10 feet from each boundary of the property that abuts a public road or navigable water, except that, if required by flora covering the property or topographic conditions of the land, a sign may be posted farther than 10 feet from the boundary to enhance its visibility. If the property does not abut a public road, one or more signs shall be posted in locations that can be readily seen by the public. The bottom of each sign shall be erected three feet above the ground.
(c) Notice to community associations and others. Within seven days after the filing of an application for subdivision that proposes to create additional lots, the Office of Planning and Zoning shall provide to the Office of the County Executive the information contained on the signs; the Councilmanic District where the property is located; and, if the property abuts another Councilmanic District, an identification of that Councilmanic District. The Office of the County Executive shall send a notice containing that information to each community association, person, and organization on its list that is located in the Councilmanic District of the property proposed for subdivision and any abutting Councilmanic District.
