§ 14.9. Temporary signs.

Temporary signs may be established in all districts provided they conform to all provisions maintained in this appendix and chapter 6 of the Village Municipal Code and the following:

A.

The establishment wishing to display such sign shall contact the building official for a temporary permit application which will provide the village with the exact area, size, structure, design, location and time period proposed for the sign.

B.

Upon receipt of a properly completed permit application, and its accordance with chapter 6 of the Village Municipal Code, temporary sign requests shall be reviewed by the village on an individual basis who shall also hold final approval for such sign.

C.

Temporary signs in the form of "for sale" or "for rent" signs may be established only in accordance with section 14.11 of this appendix.

D.

All temporary signs shall be limited to a time period of no more than fourteen (14) days except where noted, excluding temporary construction signs. After completion of this time period, any temporary signs remaining will be considered abandoned and be subject to removal procedures as indicated in subsections 14.4D. and E. of this appendix. Temporary construction signs shall be permitted in accordance with regulations set in subsection 14.6B. of this appendix.

E.

Garage sale signs shall be no larger than three (3) square feet. Such signs may remain for four (4) days on private property where sale is being conducted and must be removed upon close of the event.

F.

Search lights and beacons are permitted in commercial and industrial districts in conjunction with grand openings or special events, not to exceed five (5) consecutive days, and may only occur four (4) times a year, for any specific area. Area refers to entire shopping centers, not individual stores; therefore two (2) stores sponsoring search lights or beacons shall would equate to two (2) of the four (4) occurrences in one (1) year. Search lights must be attended during operation.
