GARDEN CITY, Utah.
February 13, 2014. Councilman Bruce
Warner noted that the sign ordinance needs to be reviewed and changed. Currently, it is very difficult to
understand. At the last Chamber of
Commerce, Ken Hansen indicated that he would like to get the group mobilized
and obtain information from business owners as to how they would like the
ordinance written. Mayor Spuhler noted
that he hoped the businesses would help with the signage in the City. At the
time the ordinance was written, there were many meetings held with business
owners. However, their attendance at
these meetings became smaller and smaller.
It was noted that the businesses don’t like that larger
signs need to be engineered and that contractors need to be used in putting
larger signs in place. It was suggested
that perhaps a weight limit might be a good addition with larger signs, thus
making some exempt from these two conditions—engineering and contractors. Mayor Spuhler asked Norm Mecham if he would
look at the ordinance and make some changes to allow it to become easier to
read and understand. Mecham indicated he would be happy to do that.
