(A) No person, firm or corporation shall locate, build, construct, operate or maintain any billboard in any block in the village where a majority of the houses abutting on both sides of the street in the block are used exclusively for residence purposes without having first secured the written consent of the owners of a majority of the frontage abutting on the street on both sides within the block.
(B) The term
BLOCK as used in this section shall be construed to mean and include that portion of the street between the two intersections with other public streets nearest the specified location on each side, provided that if on either or both sides of the location there is no intersection within three hundred feet of the center of the specified location the block shall be considered as terminating at a point 300 feet from the center.
(C) The term
STREET as used in this section shall be construed to mean and include the highways as have been dedicated by either common law or statutory dedication as public streets and are actually in use as such, and the term STREET shall not be construed to include or mean merely service highways which are commonly known as alleys.
(D) Frontage consents, once secured and filed, shall not be withdrawn and need not be renewed excepting on the construction of a new billboard to replace the one for which the consents were granted. But where consents are required and have been obtained for the construction of one or more billboards on any particular lot, additional consents for any additional billboard on the same lot must be secured and filed in accordance with the provision of this section.
(E) Notwithstanding the above, no sign or billboard shall be located within a residential zoning district. Any sign within 200 feet of a residential district shall require a special use permit, subject to the procedures in this chapter. This special use permit shall be in addition to any other requirement.
