These pictures were taken on Nov. 8, 2014 at 17059 Riverwood Drive, a brick corner house directly south of Grace Covenant Church on Riverwood. Notice the large flag, which counts as one sign and two other stringer signs, one between the trees and over the driveway and another directly placed above their garage door. They are over the sign ordinance allowable signage already. Residences can have two flags or two signs, or one of each...and no more. And then there are restrictions as to the size of the sign one can have besides the one flag. Last Christmas, this residence was allowed overages the entire holiday season without being warned or ticketed. Why?
The sign ordinance is supposed to be enforced uniformly. Why is it not?
This residence is in clear violation of the sign ordinance. Notice the large flag(which counts as one sign) and the stringer of signage over the driveway and another sign hanging directly above their garage. Residences can only have one flag and one sign, and the sign must be no larger than 8 sq feet.
NOW DON'T GET ME WRONG, I AM ALL FOR HOLIDAY DECORATIONS, SIGNS AND FLAGS BEING UNLIMITED, BUT SINCE WE HAVE A SIGN ORDINANCE THAT RESTRICTS ALL OF THOSE ITEMS, everyone must follow them....not just me. Right? MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE. Eventually, others in this city might come to the conclusion that the ultra-restrictive sign ordinance, is costly and should be deleted in its entirety. The sooner the better.
