[Amended 7-10-2014 by Ord. No. 30-14]
No sign shall be constructed or displayed unless a permit shall have first been obtained from the Zoning Officer, unless specifically exempted by this chapter. No permanent freestanding sign shall be permitted until a site plan showing the location and size of the proposed freestanding sign is approved by the Planning Board, except that freestanding residential nameplates permitted in § 166-142 are exempted from the requirement of site plan approval.
[Amended 12-14-2017 by Ord. No. 26-2017]
A. 
For purposes of this chapter, the area of signs shall be calculated as follows:
(1) 
The sign area shall be calculated based upon the entire face of the sign, including the advertising surface and any framing, trim, or molding, and any defined background (e.g., color panel, sign board, etc.). See illustration below.
SIGN AREA = AREA OF CIRCLE
SIGN AREA = A X B
(2) 
When there is no defined sign background, for example, when individual letters are mounted on a wall of a building without any different color or material than the balance of the wall, or when the defined sign background is smaller than the sign letters or symbols, the sign area shall be calculated based upon the area of the smallest rectangle which includes all of the sign elements. See illustration below.
(3) 
When a sign is comprised of multiple elements, for example, in a directory sign, the sign area shall be calculated based upon the area of the smallest rectangle which includes all of the sign elements, including the advertising surface and any framing, trim, or molding, and any defined background (e.g., color panel, sign board, etc.), including the space between the sign elements. See illustration below.
(4) 
When a sign is comprised of multiple elements, some with a defined background and some without a defined background, the sign area shall include the area of the smallest rectangle which includes all of the sign elements.
SIGN AREA = A X B
(5) 
The area of freestanding signs shall be calculated in the same manner as other signs, except that those structures used solely for support of the sign, and not designed as part of the face of the sign (such face including the advertising surface and any framing, trim, or molding, and any defined background) shall be excluded from the sign area.
(6) 
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions for calculating the area of signs with multiple elements, if in the judgment of the reviewing agency such multiple elements are not designed to be viewed together as a single sign, such elements shall be construed to be separate signs, with the area of each sign to be calculated separately, and such signs shall be subject to any applicable restrictions on the maximum permitted number of signs.
B. 
The height of a sign shall be computed as the distance from normal grade to, in the case of signs attached to buildings or other similar structures, the top of the highest point of the sign or, in the case of freestanding signs, the highest point of any structure upon which the sign is located, whichever is greater. Normal grade shall be construed to be the newly established grade after construction, exclusive of any filling, berms, mounding or excavating installed primarily for the purpose of locating the sign.
A. 
All applications seeking approval for signs shall submit at least the following information concerning said sign(s):
(1) 
Sign area, dimensions and height above ground;
(2)

(4) 
A cross section of the end view of the sign;
(5) 
A description of sign materials, including type, color, texture, etc.;
(6) 
The method of sign illumination (if any), including a detail showing the number, location and wattage of bulbs or other light sources, reflectors and shields, type of light source, etc.;
(7) 
A detail showing the construction of the sign base, pole or other support; and
(8) 
Any landscaping which exists or is proposed in proximity to the sign.

No sign shall be placed as to interfere with or be mistaken for a traffic light or similar safety device. No sign shall be located so as to create a traffic safety problem or reduce visibility at intersections or driveways.
C.

[Amended 12-14-2017 by Ord. No. 26-2017]
(2) 
All lights used for the illumination of any sign shall be completely shielded from the view of vehicular traffic using the road(s) abutting the properties containing such signs and shall be directed so as to prevent excessive glare on adjacent properties or sidewalks.
(3)

[Amended 12-14-2017 by Ord. No. 26-2017]
