SIGN POSTING: At least fifteen (15) days preceding the commission's public hearing, the Zoning
Administrator or designee shall erect on the property, subject to the above -referenced application(s), a sign (or
signs) indicating the property is to be subject to public hearing and referencing how to obtain additional
information regarding such hearing. The sign shall be erected within ten (10) feet of whatever boundary line of
such land abuts a public road and shall be so placed as to be clearly visible from the road. If more than one
such road abuts the property, then a sign shall be erected in the same manner as above for each such abutting
road. If no public road abuts thereon, then signs shall be erected in the same manner as above on at least two
boundaries of the property abutting land not owned by the applicant. The filing of the petition or application
shall be deemed to grant consent to the Zoning Administrator or designee to enter upon the property and to
erect the signs.
Upon a finding by the Board of Supervisors that failure to comply with the posting requirements of this section
has denied the public reasonable notice of the public hearing, the Board may defer action on the petition or
application until reasonable notice by posting is given.
The applicant shall exercise due diligence to protect the sign or signs erected, pursuant to section 33.8, from
vandalism and theft; maintain the sign or signs in the location or locations in an erect position as placed by the
Zoning Administrator or designee; and ensure that such sign or signs remain legible. Failure to comply with
these responsibilities may be grounds for the Commission or the Board of Supervisors to defer action on the
petition or application until there is reasonable compliance.
Any sign erected pursuant to section 33.8 shall remain the property of the Board of Supervisors. It shall be
unlawful for any person, except the applicant performing maintenance required by this section or the zoning
administrator or an authorized agent of either, to remove or tamper with any sign erected pursuant to section
33.8. All such signs shall be removed by the Zoning Administrator or designee within fifteen (15) days
following the Board of Supervisor's final action on the petition or application or the applicant's withdrawal of the
petition or application.
Should you have any questions regarding the procedure for posting of signs, please do not hesitate to contact
the Zoning Administrator, Bart Svoboda at bsvobodaaalbemarle.oro.
