A. Prior to the issuance of a building permit, a building permit holder shall install or cause to be installed an informational sign at each new construction site providing important information relative to the project. The sign shall:
1. Be thirty six inches (36") high by forty eight inches (48") wide;
2. Be constructed of a rigid material that is capable of withstanding weather conditions for the duration of the project;
3. Be mounted on two (2) posts which are capable of supporting the sign, and provide a bottom clearance of not less than thirty six inches (36");
4. Be printed on both sides; with a white background and black lettering, with a minimum height of the letters of two inches (2"), containing the following information:
a. Name of the owner;
b. Name of the general contractor, if different from owner;
c. Name and phone number of a contact person accountable for activities on the construction site that will be available twenty four (24) hours, seven (7) days a week; the designation of a contact can be general in nature, e.g., project manager;
d. Listing the permitted days and hours of work permitted by the village of Winfield, in accordance with this code; and
e. Contain the following wording: "In the event that you have any questions, please call the Village of Winfield, 630-933-7117";
5. Be used to display a copy of the building permit issued by the village; and/or hold any advisory notices, e.g., stop work order from the village.
B. In the event that the project subject to a permit is part of a multiple lot development, one informational sign may be installed at the entryway to the project. A smaller sign with a dimension of eighteen inches by twenty four inches (18" x 24") shall be placed in front of the lot; which shall contain a copy of the building permit.
C. The permit holder shall attempt to contact owners and/or occupants of properties within two hundred feet (200') from any border of the development site to provide the same information required for the information sign. If the resident is not home, a letter shall be sent by first class mail to the address. Group meetings with neighbors are encouraged as an effective means of achieving this obligation.
