Some of the sign codes from Cape Vincent's newest zoning!!!
a. No sign shall have moving parts, lights that flash, move, or appear to move.
b. No sign shall be higher than the principle building to which it is attached.
c. The maximum height of a free-standing sign is 15 feet from the ground.
d. No sign shall be painted or erected on the roof of any building.
And this is for what???? So as to not block the view of some of the huge wind turbines the rest of your zoning will allow with bright red flashing lights and with blades that sweep an area bigger than a football field that will be seen across our region and in another country????
Am I wrong, but don't huge industrial wind turbines have flashing lights, and moving parts?????
more than 15 ft. high and could not have flashing lights or moving parts. What a hoot!!!
You know...because our zoning experts who zoned in a panic over Art. 10 tried to be "reasonable" and allow some huge visually invasive wind turbines. They certainly wanted to make sure they had a "good' sign code that protected the town scenic viewshed and aesthetics from signs that are too high or with flashing lights and moving
parts!
Hhmmm...and that would be after their zoning lawyer, referring to industrial wind turbines told them he couldn't defend a law that restricted things based on the fact they didn't like the way something looked. You know...to protect the scenic view. But wait...isn't that exactly what a sign ordinance is??? Isn't that an aesthetic judgment that the lawyer won't defend???. Based on the lawyer's expert advice I guess you better get rid of that sign code too!!!
Zoning note to town board. Is this the same logic you will use to defend our town against Art. 10???
Good call!

ReplyDeleteArt has no point other than his ego.He knows everything.If it is black it is white. If it is white it is black. He can not see the gray. The in between. It is him or nothing. Rather insecure if you ask me.Plus his blog is still running on AZ. time,,,,,,,,,,
ReplyDeleteSo 2:17 so you are saying Mr. Grant will tell the State to stick there article 10 in their ear. Then promote the passage of a community bill of rights such as the Community Environmental Defense Fund lawyers suggest, then completely ban wind turbines from our community?
ReplyDeleteSo Grant will follow this path???
Now 4:40 this statement is a real hoot...
ReplyDelete"It is him or nothing"
Like you are going to try to tell us that the Hirschey board is not an all or nothing for them or their direction. How stupid do you think the public is????
Gee let's see would I have any documentation to back what I am saying...oh like maybe Bob Brown the zoning committee chairman asking for community input on the zoning law they prewrote, and then completely refusing to take any detailed input from me, one tax paying citizen, simply because he didn't like me or my approach. How's that for an all or nothing ego!!! You want to talk all or nothing ego then Brown is a real gem!!!
Do you have any clue how completely reckless and irresponsible that move was on his part as a town official? The legal counsel I contacted indicated it was not a wise choice for a public official!
And to this day I haven't heard one person, not one, from the Hirschey govt ever say what Brown did wasn't right. So I would have to assume they all endorse that type of behavior.
Anything else you'd like to discuss in an election year!!!
