Summary
A business owner sought to place a sign near the southeast corner of the town parking lot adjacent to Orleans Public Park; council members said the sign should sit on private property or have written permission, and asked staff to inspect property lines before deciding.
Council members discussed a request by a business owner to place a sign near the southeast corner of the town parking lot adjacent to Orleans Public Park and raised concerns about property lines and visibility.
Staff member (S5) described the proposed sign location and said the business wanted the sign to be visible from the highway. Council member (S3) noted uncertainty about exact property lines and suggested that if the sign would sit on town property the council should require written permission or that the business owner place the sign on private property instead. Chair (S4) suggested a site visit and said the town’s regulations should guide signage placement.
No final permit was issued at the meeting; council asked staff to inspect the site, confirm property boundaries, and report back with a recommended approach that protects public parking and complies with town regulations.
