Sandwich board signs shall be kept on private property and shall not be placed in the right-of-way, easement, sidewalk, sight triangle or in the roadway, but must be located within ten feet of the main entrance of the business.
(B) The sign shall be anchored so as not to blow away with the wind into pedestrian or vehicular traffic or be knocked over by other actions. A permit is required per entity erecting such a sign.

Upon completion of the 30 days, a new application and fee can be submitted for reissue. Any violation of the terms of this section beyond the first offense shall result in the revocation of the business’s permit for this sign and a penalty as outlined in § 152.999 of this chapter.
