(a) Any permitted or nonconforming sign or sign structure which has been damaged may be repaired and used as before, provided all repairs are initiated within 60 days and completed within 120 days of such damage. However, if the sign should be declared unsafe by the village building inspector, the owner of the sign or the owner of the property whereon the sign is located, shall immediately correct all unsafe conditions in a manner satisfactory to the village building inspector.
(b) For purposes of this section, a nonconforming sign (or its structure) shall be considered destroyed, and therefore shall not be repaired or replaced, if it receives damage to the extent of more than 50 percent of its value as determined by the village building inspector. Signs destroyed by proven vandalism may be replaced, but may not be changed, altered, or enlarged from their original state.
