The purpose of this Article is to set out reasonable regulations for the design, location, installation, operation, repair, and maintenance of signs in a manner that advances the Town’s important, substantial, and compelling interests set out in Section 7.1, while simultaneously safeguarding the constitutionally protected right of free expression. It is the intent of the Board of Trustees to provide a reasonable balance between the right of an individual to communicate through the use of signs and the right of the public to be protected against the visual discord resulting from the unrestricted proliferation of signs and similar devices.
