Nantucket and Siasconset, or before the Historic District Act of 1970
elsewhere, may continue to be maintained, unless any such sign is
enlarged, reworded, redesigned, or altered in any way, including repainting
in a different color. If and when the sign cannot continue to be maintained
pursuant to the foregoing, immediate application must be made for

The armature was in use before the effective date of the Historic
District Act of 1959 in the Historic Districts of Nantucket and Siasconset,
or before the Historic District Act of 1970 elsewhere, or there exists
a certificate of appropriateness issued by the HDC for the armature
and a sign.
(2)
An approved or preexisting sign and armature was maintained within
three years of the date of application.
(3)
The size of the new sign shall be equal to the size of the previously
approved sign for that armature. Documentation of the previously approved
and/or erected sign shall be submitted.
