trips to verify everything was in order.
Niblock said in some cases this was true. He said that even if a second trip could be
eliminated, there was a certain amount of time and effort expended by the zoning clerk in issuing
the zoning clearance.
Commissioner Williams said the board previously reviewed the sign ordinance in anattempt
to not discourage rural commercial businesses from displaying signs.
Commissioner Johnson said he was sympathetic to the citizens who had to purchase the
permits, but he also wanted to be considerate of the people that did not own businesses and who
might have to subsidize the costs if the fees were reduced. He said the inspections/planning
departments' directive in the past was to charge enough to be self-supporting.
It was the consensus of the board to delay any action on the matter at the present time.
