Chesterfield committee flags sign-size change on ballot, reviews rules for town/state/private property
Summary
Committee members noted a ballot question to change sign-size rules and reviewed how signage is treated on town-owned, state-owned and private property; no ballot wording was available at the meeting.
The Chesterfield Economic Development Committee discussed a proposed change to the town's sign ordinance that will appear on an upcoming ballot, limited to sign size. Committee members did not have formal ballot language available at the Jan. 22 meeting.
Committee member John Pieper described how signage rules apply in different contexts: on town-owned property exceptions may be granted with permission; state-owned property may be treated differently with state permission; and private property must conform to town ordinances. The committee discussed those distinctions as background for how the ballot change could affect enforcement and exemptions.
No formal vote or ordinance text was recorded at the meeting. Committee members asked for clarity on ballot wording and any interactions with state rights-of-way before public materials are finalized.
