3. Business or manufacturing zones may have up to a thirty-two (32) square foot sign. This allows signs in these areas to be placed on a 4x8 sheet of plywood or some variation.
4. Political signs must be placed on private property, with the owner's permission, not in the public right-of-way (ROW) adjacent to the street pavement.
4. Political signs placed in the right-of-way will be removed as often these signs interfere with a clear view for drivers.

5. All political signs must be removed within seven (7) days after the election.
