(C) No support for any sign or any portion thereof shall be placed on or in the ground on the public sidewalk or right-of-way without prior approval of both the Building Inspector and the Board of Commissioners. If the Board of Commissioners grants permission to allow construction of a sign on public property not at that time being used, it shall be subject to the terms and conditions which may be set out by the Board of Commissioners and will always be subject to revocation on 30 days' notice by the Board of Commissioners. The person requesting the permit will be responsible for removing the sign and restoring the grounds to the condition they were in at the time the sign was constructed.
