Town attorney urges a short, simple sign ordinance; board asks for draft
Summary
Town Attorney Aaron Arnette told the board a pending state bill could affect local sign and accessory building ordinances and recommended a concise sign ordinance to prevent large billboard signage; the board asked him to prepare an amendment.
Town Attorney Aaron Arnette told the board he had discussed the Planning Board’s recommendation to amend the town’s sign and accessory building ordinances but cautioned that a state bill currently on the floor could limit local changes. Arnette said he would recommend keeping any local sign ordinance "short and simple" to protect Trent Woods from large billboard signage while the state-level matter remains unsettled.
After discussion, the board asked Attorney Arnette to draft an amendment to the current sign ordinance; the accessory building ordinance will be considered later. The board did not vote on any change at the April 3 meeting and asked staff to return with draft language for review.
