The Commission reviewed the final changes and held discussion of the completed Sign Ordinance and Resource Extraction Ordinance with Rob Eggers from Spicer Group. A public hearing will be held on these ordinance changes at the next Planning Commission meeting on July 19, 2016.
The Planning Commission asks the Township Board to complete a photographic sign inventory of all current commercial/industrial signs. The photographs will require a date stamp, location/parcel-number/address and estimated size. Once the inventory is completed, a permit process will need to be enforced by requiring a sign permit approval process and by placing a registration tag/sticker on all newly approved signs or modified existing signs. New or modified signs without proper approval will be required to comply with the ordinance or be removed.
The next meeting is scheduled for July 19, 2016
The meeting adjourned at 7:45 pm
