(A) Definitions. For the purpose of this section, the following definitions shall apply unless the context clearly indicates or requires a different meaning.
BLOCK. The portion of the street between the two intersections with other public streets nearest the specified location on each side; provided, if, on either or both sides of the location, there is no intersection within 300 feet of the center of the specified location, the BLOCK shall be considered as terminating at a point 300 feet from the center.
STREET. Highways that have been dedicated by either common law or statutory dedication as public streets and are actually in use as such. STREET shall not be construed to include or mean merely service highways, which are commonly known as “alleys”.
(B) 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 the street on both sides within the block.
(C) Frontage consents once secured and filed shall not be withdrawn and need not be renewed, except on the construction of a new billboard to replace the one for which the consents were granted. 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 shall be secured and filed in accordance with the provisions of this section.
