Section 9-150 of <br />code states above roof signs are not permi <br />Under Section 9-230 (b) the roof sign would <br />I nonconformity. <br />1984, the roof sign <br />375 Silver Lake Road <br />the New Brighton Zoning <br />tted in any district. <br />be classified as a Type <br />A nonconforming sign in disrepair whose <br />repair cost is in excess of fifty percent <br />of its fair market value. <br />Regulations as to Type I nonconforming signing situations is <br />covered in Section 9-230 (d). This section states: <br />Repair and maintenance work on a nonconforming <br />sign may be permitted so long as the cost of such <br />repair does .not exceed fifty percent of the fair <br />market value of the sign. Where the cost of such <br />work exceeds fifty percent of the fair market value <br />such sign must be removed. <br />Since the entire sign must be replaced, it seems clear that the <br />cost of repairs will be in excess of fifty percent of the fair <br />market value. Hence, you will not be allowed to replace the roof <br />sign. May I suggest that there is a blank wall area on the front <br />of your building which would accommodate a wall sign. Please con- <br />tact me directly or have your sign company contact me for. further <br />de-tails on the permitted size of wall signs, if you wish to pursue <br />this option. <br />
