Other Issues:
Should Dolphins in an established marina require a public hearing if the marina was approved?
Chapter 23-Signs Should a base be allowed under a sign, and if so should the height be limited?
• Chapter 23-Signs Should logo's be allowed? Several. Condo's have logos.
Vacant lots after a building is torn down. Other than code enforcement issues, we have no requirements in
zoning, should they be fenced? Sodded?
Have Construction trailers and containers been readdressed?
