Article 12, Signs

The Edgerton Governing Body and the Planning Commission finds that an unregulated proliferation of signs results in visual clutter, is harmful to aesthetics and property values, contributes to traffic hazards, and is not productive to the goals of community development. It is the intent and purpose of this section to establish a level of visual quality for signs by limiting the type, place, size, manner, height and materials of signs and advertising devices in the City of Edgerton. This section provides minimum standards to insure traffic safety; safeguard life, health and property values; provide guidelines for the maintenance of signs; reduce distractions and obstructions by signs that would adversely affect traffic safety, and to alleviate hazards caused by signs projecting over or encroaching upon public ways; ensure that signs provide orientation and adequately identify new uses and activities; and, preserve or enhance small town character by encouraging new and replacement signage that is:

A.Conducive to Public Safety

B.Creative and distinctive

C.Compatible with the surroundings;

D.Appropriate to the general type of activity to which it pertains;

E.Expressive of the identity of individual persons and entities; and

F.Appropriately sized in its context.

No sign may be erected, placed, painted, established, or maintained in the City of Edgerton except in conformance with the standards, exemptions and procedures set forth in this Article. Signs located in the L-P District must also comply with the regulations contained in Article 5 of the Unified Development Code as it relates to signage for that District. Specifically, this section is intended to:

A.Establish a permit system to allow various types of signs, subject to the standards and permit procedures contained herein;

B.Allow certain signs that are unobtrusive and incidental to the principal use of land;

C.Prohibit all signs not expressly permitted by this Article;

D.Provide for the enforcement of these provisions.

An application for a sign permit shall be made on the appropriate form provided by the Zoning Administrator and shall include the following at time of submission:

A.Two sets of plans drawn to scale, indicating the sign location, size, type, materials of both sign and structure if applicable, method of illumination, colors, method of attachment and general layout are required with the application.

B.A Sign Fee, established within the Fee Schedule for the Unified Development Code, shall be submitted with the sign application.

C.Upon initial review of the sign permit application and materials, the Zoning Administrator may require additional information to demonstrate compliance with this section.

D.If submitted as part of a Site Plan approval, the sign shall be designed in accordance with these regulations and all items listed in A through C above shall be included with the Site Plan submission.

E.Approval of a sign permit does not authorize the maintenance of an unlawful sign and does not constitute a defense in an action to abate an unlawful sign.

F.Once approved by the Zoning Administrator, any changes to the approved sign design must be resubmitted for approval to insure compliance with these regulations.

The followings signs and devices shall be exempt from the provisions of this Article:

A.Official signs erected by a city, or county, State of Kansas, or the federal government.

Table 12-4 Appendix - Additional Guidelines for L-P District Signage:

•Illuminated signs shall not be erected within one hundred (100) feet of any residential zoning district unless properly and adequately shielded so that light from such sign is not directed toward such residential district.

•In no case can a sign be placed closer than fifteen (15) feet from a residential property.

•No high intensity lights shall be permitted as part of a sign display visible from an adjacent street.

•No sign shall be illuminated to intensity greater than two hundred (200) foot-candles. The restrictions of luminance in this section shall be determined from any other premise or from any public street right-of-way other than an alley.

•No cloth, paper, banner, flag, or similar advertising matter shall be suspended from, or allowed to hang loose from or over, any building or structure. Such advertising matter shall be a violation of this section and shall be removed immediately upon notice by the Zoning Administrator.
