Poolesville commissioners opened a public hearing Oct. 5 on proposed Ordinance No. 237, a zoning text amendment to Appendix B of the town sign code that would repeal the sign review board, assign sign-permit review to the town manager (with appeals to the Board of Zoning Appeals), and revise standards for banners and temporary signs. Chair opened the hearing, explained the packet available for the record, and invited testimony with a 2-minute limit.
