Sign ordinance passed By DONETA GATHERUM LAYTON The days of a business placing a quickly constructed sign in front of a building are over in Layton. At the last meeting of the city council a new Sign Ordinance was adopted that is designed to eliminate temporary signs and carefully regulate permanent ones. The purpose of the ordinance is to eliminate potential hazards to motorists and pedestrians; to encourage signs, which by their good design, are integrated with and harmonious to the buildings and sites which they occupy, and which eliminate excessive and confusing sign display; to preserve and improve the appearance of the city... It is now unlawful to erect, alter or relocate a sign without first obtaining a permit from the community development department. A permit application requires a drawing to scale of the sign plus its dimensions, wiring scheme, method of attachment and advertising message. A minimum permit fee of $30 is required. This amount can be as high as $50, depending on the sign. The ordinance describes the types of signs that will be allowed within the different zones of the city. It carefully lists specifications for every type of sign that could possibly be used to advertise a business. The ordinance carefully regulates the use of temporary signs. Temporary signs not exceeding four square feet in area pertaining to drives or events of civic, philanthropic, educational or religious organizations are allowed but can only be posted during the drive and must be removed no more than 15 days after the said event. Political and campaign signs cannot be posted on public or "on or over any public property in the city. They must be removed within 14 days after the election. Political signs that are removed by the city will cost the owners the sum of $5 to cover the expense of removal and storage. Temporary signs used to advertise new businesses and special sales or features at an established business are no longer allowed in Layton. This provision is probably the most controversial part of the ordinance. It was opposed by several people at the public hearing where the sign ordinance was dis- about four hours daily. vention. has grown from fewer than 50 attendants to the worlds largest annual youth gathering.

The annual gathering In order for the Floriculture Team to qualify to attend the convention and compete with teams from across the United States, the girls had to compete in the state contest which was held at Utah State University in June. The difficult test includes written work and practicum studies. There are 11 areas that must be studied. Five are selected for the test. This year the teams had to identify 50 plants out of 125 samples. They made a corsage, answered a 50 question test on horticulture, greenhouse management and related subjects. The team members were also required to judge the quality of plant materials from roses to potted plants and to prepare a plant for sale. The Layton team is the only one from Utah that will attend the national convention. Team members have been preparing and studying every week since school started for members in 29 agricultural profi- ciency areas and in ten national career skill competitions as well as the Agriscience Teacher of the Year award. Top chapters programs in safety, community development and overall activities will be recognized.
