VI. New Business:
1. Signs: Discussion of the variety of signs that have appeared at the Blue stem entrances. Wilkerson read a quote from a KW realtor: “The land outside the entrance is owned by the city. It is illegal to place signs anywhere on city property. This includes the easements that run in front of houses too. Signs need to be placed between the actual house and the sidewalk or easement. Many realtors do put signs in illegal places but are risking a hefty fine and the loss of the sign.”
MSC to table this issue and Brewster is going to research the sign issue further.
