Speaking of obeying signage rules,
ReplyDeletehere's what the mayor said on public record 1.19.16
6:22:50 Mayor on LED lights
“Just to keep in mind when you talked about the LED signs,
our ordinances doesn’t allow for it - our code. We haven’t
updated our sign codes in a long time and I know a lot of
businesses encounter that when they come to the city of
Lake Worth…We do not currently for allow LED lighting effect.
We don’t allow for what we have out in front of city hall right
now…[2:23:12 the city manager puts a finger to his lips and says
‘SHHHHH’ as the mayor belly laughs]…So Ah WHOOPS [mayor belly
laughs again]…something to keep in mind…”
She goes on to say she doesn't like it but the better question
is what has she done about it in 4 YEARS?
Really like Gary's sign...one of the better ones in years.
ReplyDeleteHow many square feet is having 4 signs in your yard? Scott Maxwell has two of his signs and one each for the other 2 stooges in his yard?
ReplyDeleteYou are only allowed 3 campaign signs per yard. The hands off our beach would also be allowed because it is a separate issue from this upcoming election.
ReplyDeleteI agree, Gary has the best sign.
