Planning Commission resolves Sandwich Board Sign Saga--almost.

The Evansville Planning Commission on Tuesday night passed several ordinances that would resolve the handling of sandwich board signs on a regular basis and also during construction, in front of a business and also remote signs near the business.

The overwhelming feeling from all involved was frustration that this has taken so long. Jeff Vrstal pondered aloud why other items could be rushed through of major impact with little discussion whereas this matter has been such an agonizing process.

The final ordinance did allow for the historical preservation committee to review and comment on all sandwich board signs in the historic district. This, although, there are no standards established on what they would in fact review besides sign size. No other standards have been established. The role of the historic preservation committee would be purely advisory.
