Sign regulations are established to ensure public safety, protect and stabilize property values; eliminate confusing, distracting and unsafe signs; assure efficient transfer of information; and maintain the aesthetic quality of the town, while still allowing for the identification of residential, office, commercial, industrial and other activities. Sign regulations govern the nature, location and size of signs in addition to providing standards for the erection and maintenance of signs. Sign regulations encourage the effective use of signs as a means of communication within the town, and minimize possible adverse effects of signs on nearby public and private property. Compliance with sign regulations result in a pleasing community image and generally enhance the economic stability of the town.
