   No sign shall be erected or maintained so as to obstruct free and clear vision of pedestrian and automotive traffic, and in no case shall a freestanding sign be closer than 20 feet to a street intersection measured from the intersection of the two nearest street lines, except as otherwise allowed. If the Town Administrator shall find any sign unsafe or a menace to the public, or which is in violation of this chapter, he or she shall give written notice of the violation to the owner or valet of the sign. If the person to whom notice is given fails to remove or alter the structure so as to comply with the required standards within 30 days after the notice, the sign may be removed or altered by the Town Administrator so as to bring the sign into compliance with the required standards, and the expense incurred by the town to obtain the compliance shall be charged to the owner of the sign. Any sign which no longer advertises any bona fide business conducted or product sold shall be taken down and removed by the owner, agent, or person having the beneficial use of the property upon which the sign is located.
