� I' Paula Lee - would like to leave in effect the directional signs
portion of the ordinance.
2' Barbara Rust - endorses Paula Lee's oonuneuts'
3' Phil Salyer - wants more than one sign on each property. Two
signs maximum, builder a real estate'
4' Ed Tweedy - agrees with having three directional signs of
site and agrees with Phil Salyer on having
two signs on new houses being built'
Chairman Hamper then explained why we should not deviate from original
intent to allow more than one sign per property. He suggested we may need
to change the real estate sign. They promote the company and not the
agent. The Town's objective is to eliminate clutter.
