Notice was read and the Public Hearing was opened. 1. Appeal by the DeForest Chamber of Commerce from denial of a permit to erect a sign on a parcel of land located in the SW1 5E1/4 Section 13, Town of Vienna. Permit denied because the Dane County Zoning Ordinance does not permit the erection or installation of signs within 100' of an intersection on a County Highway. IN FAVOR: DeForest Chamber of Commerce, Mr. Dave Lund and Mr. Jim Langetig; proposed sign will not be a traffic hazzard, will be strictly directional, no advertising, will be elevated so as to clear semi- driver's vision. It was pointed out that high banks already obscure drivers vision and sign will be in back of this vision corner. Sign will be illuminated at night but lights will be directed downward. It was brought to the Boards attention that a previous Board of Adjustment had granted a variance for the DeForest sign on US 51. Discussion followed. OTHERS IN FAVOR : None OPPOSED: Zoning Supervisor LIE voiced objection on the basis that the sign would be a further distraction on a corner where there is already an inherent traffic problem caused by the intersection and the entrances and exits for the various business places at the corner. Also, if this variance were granted, every other sign installer would want to erect signs at intersections in the county on the same reasoning.
