(A) Application for sign permits shall be made in writing upon forms furnished by the Building Official. Such applications shall contain the location by street and number of the proposed sign structure, as well as the name and address of the owner and the person or business erecting the sign. Plans and specifications showing all pertinent sign information shall be submitted with the permit application. In addition, if the erection of the sign involves electrical wiring or connection, the Electrical Inspector of the city shall examine the plans and specifications for compliance with the city's electrical code, and shall approve or disapprove prior to final approval or disapproval by the Building Official.
(B) The plans and specifications shall include the following:
(1) Two copies of a scaled drawing showing the complete, elevation of the building on which the sign is to be placed; such drawing shall include all exterior dimensions of the structure. Superimposed on this drawing shall be the proposed sign drawn to scale showing the dimensions, type, and size of lettering. The drawing shall be drawn to an appropriate scale, which shall be indicated on each sheet.
(2) Two copies of a scaled and fully dimensioned plot plan drawing of the property upon which the sign is proposed to be erected shall be submitted. This drawing shall show all property lines, street lines, driveways, and traffic patterns into and out of the premises, existing structures, utility easements, the location of existing signs, and the location of proposed signs. All set back dimensions shall be indicated also. This shall not be required of signs that are to be affixed to a building.
(3) The drawing for all signs which are to be illuminated shall show the location of electrical outlets, conduits, and lighting sources. The plan shall also indicate the intensity of illumination, which shall not exceed the maximum specified herein, and the Building Official may require certification thereof by a lighting consultant or an electrical engineer. At the contractor or owner's option, a separate electrical permit may be applied for by the electrician per-forming the work. The application must contain the information specified herein and need not be applied for or issued simultaneously with the permit for the sign proper; however, no electrical work shall be done until both permits have been approved and issued.
(4) The drawing shall indicate the method of fastening the sign to the building or other supporting structure.
(5) Any other information deemed necessary by the Building Official in determining whether the proposed sign meets the requirements of this chapter.
