10-9-13: SIGNS NOT TO CONSTITUTE TRAFFIC HAZARD:

No sign as regulated by this chapter shall be erected at the intersection of any street, alley or driveway in such a manner as to obstruct free and clear vision; or at any location where, by reason of the position, shape or color, it may interfere with, obstruct the view of, or be confused with any authorized traffic sign, signal, or device; or which makes use of the words "STOP", "LOOK", "DANGER" or any other word, phrase, symbol, or character in such manner as to interfere with, mislead, or confuse traffic. (Ord. 1530, 1-18-2011)

10-9-14: SUPPLEMENTARY SIGNS:

No supplementary sign or other appendage may be hung from or supported by an approved sign or its supports if it will adversely affect the structure of the approved sign or make the approved sign nonconforming. (Ord. 1530, 1-18-2011)

10-9-15: REMOVAL OF SIGNS:

   A.   Intent: It is the intent of this section to recognize that the eventual elimination, as expeditiously as is reasonable, of existing signs that are not in conformity with the provisions of this chapter is as much a subject of health, safety and welfare as is the prohibition of new signs that would violate the provisions of this chapter. It is also the intent of this section that any elimination of nonconforming, obsolete, unsafe and unlawful signs shall be effected so as to avoid any unreasonable invasion of established private rights.

   B.   Prohibited Signs: All signs prohibited by section 10-9-11 of this chapter shall be removed or made conforming within one hundred eighty (180) days of the effective date hereof.

   C.   Unsafe And Unlawful Signs: If the building inspector finds that any sign regulated herein is structurally unsafe; constitutes a hazard to safety or health by reason of inadequate maintenance, dilapidation, or abandonment; is not kept in good repair; is capable of causing electrical shocks to persons likely to come in contact therewith; or is unlawfully installed, erected, or maintained, he or she shall give written notice to the permittee and/or owner thereof. If the permittee and/or owner fails to remove or alter the structure so as to comply with the standards herein set forth within ten (10) days after such notice, said sign shall be removed by the building inspector at the expense of the permittee or owner of the property upon which it is located. (Ord. 1530, 1-18-2011)
