Historical society seeks temporary yard signs; town to clarify conditions under Section 6.2(a)
Summary
The Webster Historical Society asked to place temporary foam-core yard signs for a membership campaign; Attorney Taylor Osborne cited Section 6.2(a) allowing community-service signage with board approval and the board will revisit the request after the society specifies intended display duration.
Commissioner Brandon Core reported that the Webster Historical Society wants to use temporary yard signs (foam core with wire stakes) similar to those used for high school graduations as part of a membership campaign. Commissioners noted the current sign ordinance does not explicitly address that sign type. Town Attorney Taylor Osborne referenced Section 6.2(a), which permits community-service signage subject to board approval, and suggested any approval include conditions specifying allowable display periods and hours.
The board reached consensus to revisit the request once the Historical Society clarifies the intended duration of sign placement so the board can consider specific conditions and any time-limited approval.
