II. Public Comment
III. New Business
1. Enforcement—
41 Surfside Road- received a Citizens Complaint about a "Home for Sale" sign and
brochure stand.
Representing- Linda Roberts, homeowner. Discussed other signs like,Tipping Point JIs
requesting a temporary sign for 90 days.
Young- "For Sale" signs are prohibited by the guidelines. Not willing to start a precedent
Real Estate agents have been cooperative. They actually helped create the Sign guidelines. It
is off-premise advertising. Can not make a positive recommendation to the HDC. Real
Estate is a commercial enterprise
Wolf- Described sign and its location. The Real Estate agent should know better than to
erect the sign and the brochure stand.
Roberts-Asked if she could change language from"for sale" to a statement line "this could
be your dream home".
Keuester- They don't have a regulation over what a sign"says". It's a free-standing,
inappropriate sign. Has seen "Open House" signs. She can submit an application. If she
does not like the outcome, she can appeal the decision of the Commission.
2. Other Business/ Preliminary Review (if applicable)
Preliminary discussion of Stop and Shop banners-N/A
