Minutes of the Regular Meeting of Council Monday, February 25, 2019 Page 14 First Read'nng of Oa-dinance No. 2019-09, entitled, "An Ordinance repealing and replacing Codified Ordinance Chapter 1185 relating to signs regulations." Introduced by Mayor Bodnar. (Law Department) Mr. Coyne stated, if you have any questions on this, I will certainly answer them. There is one section I would like to have considered to be an amendment to it. 1185.08, Signs Permitted in Anv District, specifically Section (f), if you look at (f)(4), it says "Such signs shall be located as close to the center of the property as possible as measured by the front footage, but in no event less than 10 feet from the property line." Section (fl(1) says "Such signs shall be located not less than 20 feet from the right-of-way line." In speaking with Mr. Marrelli and also at the Department Heads meeting, we had a discussion about how you would be able to measure that, particularly on streets where there might not be a sidewalk and there might not be a clear delineation of where the right of way line is. To enforce it, it was suggested that we modify Section (f)(1) to state it would be 10 feet from the edge of the roadway surface. So it would have to be on private property, 10 feet back from the edge of the roadway surface. Council President Saponaro asked, tell me this section again? Mr. Coyne replied, it would be amending Section 1185.08(f)(1). It says 20 feet from the right- of-way line. I will have this corrected for the next meeting. The end of that should be 10 feet from the edge of the roadway surface. Council President Saponaro asked, all right, so such signs shall be located not less than 10 feet from the edge of the roadway surface? Mr. Coyne replied, yes. That's the suggested amendment and it is in consultation with the Building Department and also at the Department Head's meeting we discussed it thoroughly. Council President Saponaro asked, so that change is going to be done and you will provide us with an update? Mr. Coyne replied, yes. Council President Saponaro asked, anything else you want to talk about on this? Mr. Coyne replied, I don't think so. If anyone has any questions, I would be glad to answer them. Council President Saponaro stated, it's a pretty lengthy ordinance. Hopefully everyone has gone through it and if you haven't, do that so that at our next meeting we can continue the discussion on this with any questions or things of that nature regarding this ordinance because it's pretty big and it does dive deep into an area that has had a lot of case law come out on it so I just wanted to I make sure everyone understands it before we put it to a vote. Ordinance No. 2019-09 moved to Second Read. "'
