(A) The person desiring to erect or maintain any illuminated or other sign shall make written application to the City Council which application shall give full information as to the size, weight and character of the sign, together with the distance it will project over the sidewalk and shall furnish a drawing or other data showing the method of securing and fastening the same.
(B) If, upon the information and data submitted, the Council shall be satisfied that such sign will be safe and secure and not a menace to the public passing along such street or sidewalk where said sign or signs are sought to be located, it shall, by appropriate motion or resolution, instruct and authorize the City Clerk to issue a permit therefor.
(C) The permit in the possession of the owner of any such sign or signs shall constitute the only authority for such person to erect or maintain such sign.
