Town Warrant Article 2- One 'Grok Thumb Down
One 'Grok Thumb Down
We have no problem with commercial entities that spend their capital for signage to show whatever they want, when ever they want, and how they want. As you can see, we're not all that enthused over the planning ordinance here.
Zoning Ordinance Amendments
Article 2: Are you in favor of the adoption of Amendment No. 1 as proposed by the Gilford Planning Board for the Gilford Zoning Ordinance as follows:
Amend Section 8.4.8, Changeable Copy Signs, by adding to the existing Section 8.4.8 regulations regarding Electronic Changeable Copy Signs. The proposed regulations limit the frequency at which messages are allowed to change; restrict hours of operation; and prohibit certain display methods including, but not limited to, flashing and image movement.
Principle: Private Properties rights. If they are in the Commercial district, don't think us all so stupid that we adults will lose utter control of our vehicles just because a sign is changing. Plain condescending (or appeals to those that wish to be overly "orderly")
Our recommendation to our fellow citizens is to vote "No" on all of this article.
