C. Planning Board review. New and updated signs are subject to review and approval by the Planning Board, at the request of the applicant, may have proposed signage reviewed and approved as part of the special permit or site plan review process. In the event of such review, all required sign permit application materials shall be provided to the Planning Board as part of the complete application. D. Alteration. Any sign for which a permit has been issued shall not be modified, relocated, altered, or replaced, unless an amended or new sign permit is obtained from the Code Enforcement Officer. E. Expiration. A sign permit shall expire if the sign for which the permit has been issued is not fully constructed within 180 days from the date of issuance of the sign permit. F. Revocation. The Code Enforcement Officer or designee may, at any time for a violation of this regulation, issue a notice of violation. A written notice of the violation including all reasons for the violation shall be mailed to the property and/or building owner. Said violation must be corrected within 30 days of the date of notice; otherwise, the sign permit shall be revoked and the sign in question shall be required to be removed. §225-18.3 Measurement. A. Sign area. (1) Single sign face. The area of a sign shall be computed by means of the smallest square, circle, rectangle, triangle, or geometric combination thereof that will encompass the extreme limits of the writing, representation, emblem, graphic, and/or other display, together with any material, backdrop, or structure on which it is placed (see Figure 1). (2) Multifaced signs. In the case of a multifaced sign, only one side of the sign is considered in determining sign area if the sides of the sign are back-to-back or diverge at an angle of 45° or less. (3) Structural support not included. The supporting structure or bracing of a sign shall not be computed as part of the sign area, unless such supporting structure or bracing is made a part of the message with the inclusion of any text or graphics. If such is the case, a combination of regular geometric shapes which can encompass the area of said text or graphics shall be included as part of the total sign area computation. B. Sign height. (1) Freestanding sign. The height of a freestanding sign shall be calculated by measuring the vertical distance between the top part of such sign or its structure, whichever is highest, to the elevation of the ground directly beneath the center of the sign (see Figure 2). (2) Other signs. The height of an awning, projecting, suspended, wall, or window sign shall be determined by measuring the vertical distance between the top part of the sign face or structure, whichever is highest, to the bottommost edge of the sign face (see Figure 1). (3) Structural support included. Any material whose major function is to provide structural support for a sign shall be considered part of the sign for purposes of determining sign height.
