WHEREAS contractors, architects and land developers frequently post large signs advertising their company on residential property where new homes are being constructed; and

WHEREAS these signs remain in place months and sometimes years after the building has been constructed; and

WHEREAS frequent complaints are received from local residents about these signs; and

WHEREAS the Building Department routinely allows such signs to remain in place for a year after construction; and

WHEREAS the City has no record of when signs are first erected; a fact that hinders effective compliance in having signs removed in a timely manner;

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the builders, architects, contractors etc. be required to remove all signs from residential properties within thirty days of the sign-off of the building by the Building Department.
