§ 220-88. Removal of signs.

A. 

Signs not pertinent to use. The owner of any sign which is abandoned or found to otherwise no longer serve the purpose for which a permit was issued or is otherwise in violation of the provisions hereof shall remove the sign within 30 days of written notice or otherwise correct the specified unsatisfactory condition in a manner approved by the Zoning Officer. If the Zoning Officer's notice is not appealed within 30 days of the date of the written notice, the notice automatically becomes an order to remove and shall be enforced in accordance with this section.

B. 

Hazardous signs and signs in violation. The Zoning Officer shall notify, in writing, the owner of any sign which is unsafe, insecure or is a menace to the public, or has been erected or installed in violation of this chapter to remove or correct the unsatisfactory condition of said sign within 30 days from the date of such notice. If the Zoning Officer's notice is not appealed within 30 days of the date of the written notice, the notice automatically becomes an order to remove and shall be enforced in accordance with this section.

C. 

Failure to comply. Upon failure to comply with any court order to remove or any court order to correct or remove within the prescribed time, the Zoning Officer shall cause the removal of such sign and all costs and expenses incurred with said removal shall be charged to the owner of the land or building upon which the sign is located.

D. 

Signs causing immediate peril. The Zoning Officer may cause any sign which is a source of immediate peril to persons or property to be removed summarily upon written notice to that effect. Failure to comply immediately upon receipt of such notice will serve as an authorization to the Zoning Officer to immediately remove or cause removal of such sign with all costs and expenses charged to the owner of the land upon which the sign is erected.

E. 

Other remedies. This section shall not be construed so as to limit or eliminate any other remedy or cause of action at law or equity by which the Town may seek to correct, abate or enjoin any violation of the provisions contained herein.
