proposed amendments to Chapter 23 relating to real estate signage .
Following are our conclusions :
. in answer to a question posed by the Town Attorney when

are considered temporary so there is no need to include the
word ' temporary ' in the ordinance .
. the general language of the amendment was acceptable ; however ,
the following changes were requested :
under b) ( 2 ) the size of the sign shall read :
9 " in height x 12 " in width
under b ) ( 3 ) all references to the size of black
angle iron to be used shall read :
1 "x1 "xl /8 "
. an inclusion relative to a time certain for the the removal
of signs after sale or rent was requested , i . e . five ( 5 )
working days .
. ultimate language changes to other sections of Chapter 23
having to be made to conform to the changes reflected in this
proposed amendment will be made at the discretion of the
Town Attorney .
We extend sincere thanks to you for coordinating our efforts in this
regard with the Town Attorney in so timely a manner , and look forward
to receiving a final draft for review before transmitting our
recommendation for amendment to Code .
