A legal non-conforming sign does not conform to the requirements of this chapter, but can be demonstrated by the owner to have been lawfully erected but made non-conforming by adoption of subsequent amendments of village ordinances. Such signs must be maintained and repaired to ensure safe and attractive conditions. Legal non-conforming signs shall not be otherwise altered or moved unless made to comply with the regulations of this section. Further, any sign or parts thereof which is removed or requires repairs which exceed 60% of its reproduction value, shall not be rebuilt or relocated unless made to comply with all regulations of this section. The message of a legal non-conforming sign may be changed; provided that such a change does not increase the non-conformity.
