The Town of Barton Zoning Administrator is hereby designated
as the Town's authorized agent to record and file all applications
for sign permits with any accompanying plans and documents, make inspections
of signs in the Town of Barton, and make such reports as the Town
may require.
Upon application to the Plan Commission, the Plan Commission may, in its judgment, waive or vary the provisions of this chapter or determinations pertaining to this chapter made by the Zoning Administrator where it would further the public interest. No such waiver or variance, however, shall be used to waive or vary any requirement of Chapter
500, Zoning, or any other code or ordinance of the Town. Further appeal of the Plan Commission's affirmation of any such determinations made by the Zoning Administrator pertaining to this chapter shall be made to the Zoning Board of Appeals for the Town of Barton.
Any person who installs or maintains a sign(s) which involves,
in whole or in part, the location, erection, movement, reconstruction,
enlargement, expansion, alteration, conversion, operation, maintenance,
placement, relocation, or removal of a sign or any other sign work
shall agree to hold harmless and indemnify the Town of Barton, its
officers, agents, consultants, and employees, from any and all claims
of negligence resulting from the location, erection, movement, reconstruction,
enlargement, expansion, alteration, conversion, operation, maintenance,
placement, relocation, or removal of a sign or any other sign work
insofar as this chapter has not specifically directed the placement
of the sign.
The Town of Barton's acceptance of fees as provided herein shall
not be deemed as assumption of liability by the Town of Barton. The
owner of any building, structure, or land upon which a sign is located,
erected, moved, reconstructed, enlarged, expanded, altered, converted,
operated, placed, or relocated shall be liable for any damages and
injuries that may be caused to persons or property thereby.
