Seventh Item of Business: Other Business. Political Sign Requirements Tree Information Political Sign Requirements Ms. Sandra Smith, Interim Community Development Director, said staff has decided to establish some clear guidelines for campaign sign applicants in a written format. Ms. Smith reviewed the information provided in her memorandum dated July 10, 2013, to the City of Casselberry Planning and Zoning Commission (a copy is attached and made a part of the minutes). She reviewed the following items regarding political campaign sign requirements: 1. Temporary sign status 2. Signs between six square feet and thirty two square feet 3. Signs greater than thirty two square fee 4. Sign height 5. Setback distance 6. Sign area 7. Timing Ms. Smith stated that she has been advised by the City Attorney that the City cannot require a sign deposit for political signs and the candidate does not have to qualify for the election before placing any political signs in the city. In response to Ms. Babb - Nutcher's question, Ms. Smith stated that the City Attorney would review the complete ordinance before it is brought back to the Planning and Zoning Commission for their final review. A brief discussion ensued regarding the setback distances for the signs, prohibiting mounting political signs on vehicles, the maximum sign size and height and property owner authorization required for placement of signs on undeveloped property. Ms. Smith stated that she would do some additional research with the building department to determine the threshold for requiring a permit for a sign for structure purposes. The Commission agreed to require the applicant to submit a completed informational form to the City Clerk's office with their other paperwork and to eliminate the temporary sign permit for signs between six square feet and thirty two square feet.
