(a) The permitted size of a sign shall apply to the entire area enclosing the extreme limits of writing, representation, emblem or figure, together with any frame or other material or embellishment forming an integral part of the display. Necessary supports or uprights on which a sign is placed are excluded from the measurement of sign area.
(b) The height of a sign shall be computed as the distance from the base of the sign at normal grade to the top of the highest attached component to the sign. Normal grade shall be construed to be the lower of existing grade prior to construction or the newly established grade after construction, exclusive of any filling, berming, mounding or excavating solely for the purpose of locating the sign.
