No old Business

New Business: 
Greyline Signs � Kyle Stritchfield was present to answer the questions of the board. It was noted that his application was denied by the Code Enforcement Officer in accordance with existing town code sections 161-49B (1) �Separate business uses are permitted no more than 300 square feet of outdoor advertising, so long as no single sign face has more than 60 square feet of area.� The total surface of the proposed sign is 288 square feet, but exceeds the 60 square feet of sign face area. The application calls for 12x24 which is 288 square feet per face.

After a lengthy discussion, no compelling reason was presented to reverse the Code Enforcement Officers decision. In addition, it was pointed out by Neil that under the Limitations Law section 161-49-D6 �No freestanding billboards shall be allowed�.

A motion was made by Neil and 2nd by Joe to recommend to the Town Board and Zoning Board of Appeals to uphold the current law as it stands. Carried.
A letter of this recommendation is attached.
