(A) The purpose of these requirements is to provide a framework within which the identification and informational needs of all land uses can be harmonized with the desires and aesthetic standards of the general public.
(B) It is intended through the provisions contained herein to give recognition to the legitimate needs of business, industry, and other activities in attaining their identification and informational objectives.
(C) However, it is a basic tenet of this subchapter that unrestricted signage does not benefit either private enterprise or the community at-large.
(1) Signs should not, by reason of their size, location, construction, or manner of display, endanger life and limb, confuse or mislead traffic, obstruct vision, impede traffic safety, annoy or disturb the residents of the village, or adversely impair property values.
(2) All signs erected or structurally altered shall conform to all codes and ordinances of the village and shall require approval and a permit.
