Commission hears proposal for 10×20 digital billboard at Main and Backbone; members raise concerns
Summary
A developer approached the board about siting a 10‑by‑20‑foot digital billboard at Main and Backbone. Commissioners noted the comprehensive plan discourages billboards near town, flagged safety and aesthetic concerns and asked for broader community input; no formal action was taken.
Planner Michael told the commission a party had asked about placing a 10‑by‑20‑foot digital billboard on a privately owned corner at Main and Backbone, possibly on property owned by Scott Sullivan. Michael said the site’s zoning would not allow the sign without approval and noted the comprehensive plan calls for reducing billboards.
Commissioners raised concerns that a rotating digital billboard could distract drivers at a busy intersection and degrade the visual improvements already made in that area. They asked staff to share community sentiment before the board took any formal position. No motion to change zoning was made at the meeting, and the item was retained as new business for further review.
