GARDEN CITY- December 13,
2012 Andy Stokes, the Garden City Enforcement Officer, requested that the
Council Members read through the updated sign ordinance. The original ordinance was written in general
enough language that it wasn’t possible to enforce. The updated one will allow Mr. Stokes to
approach business owners requesting that they pull their signs into compliance
with the City’s ordinance. Mr. Stokes
noted that the ordinance allows for higher signs in the downtown area while
signs will have lower profiles along entrances into town.
One Council Member asked why
a contractor was required when signs were built and put in place. Mr. Stokes noted that the City does not want
to be responsible for signs that are not properly grounded and have a
possibility of falling. Mr. Stokes
indicated that there are a lot of illegal signs in the city, and temporary
signs are currently almost impossible to track as to the length of time they
have been in place. All of these items
have been addressed in the ordinance.
