Mountain St. 739-3687 Thursday, May 25 - Turkey - SIGN From Page 1-A that he felt the issue was a commu- nication problem. Spears, Mayor Scott Neisler and Commissioner Jim Guyton ques- tioned Geiot at length about the process he took in erecting his new sign and Gelot said he was told on the telephone the dimensions re- quired in the ordinance. He said he was served notice on his opening day in Kings Mountain that his sign should be taken down. Gelot admitted that he put up the sign himself after he sent a contractor to City Hall for a permit and the contractor was told that the sign he proposed was in violation of city codes. Gelot said the permit fee was returned by the city to the contractor. However, both Gelot, Mike Brown, Dr. Benjamin Poole, Ron Grigg, Ken Davis and Murphrey argued that Gelot's sign poses no visibility problem and that none of the signs in the area conform ex- actly to specifications. But Putnam said that the regula- tions say that signs erected after 1966 are non-conforming if a building inspector issued a permit and the sign was tagged. Poole said he got verbal permission to put up the sign. "The cost would be prohibitive if 300 businesses in town have to tear down signs and put up new ones just so they would be 10 feet in the air," he said. "I am not for tearing down any signs," said Murphrey. "It would look tacky for Dr. Poole, for instance, to put up a 10 feet high sign in front of his of- fice." Former councilman Jim Childers, a member of the sign committee, called attention to the ‘portion of the new sign regulations which clearly states that once a sign is replaced or repaired it comes under the new rules. Until then, the sign can remain or is "grandfathered.:" Davis said there is a misconcep- tion on the part of Council on the right-of-way along King Street. "It varies from business to business," he said. Grigg said he had measured the signs along King Street. "If you make one follow the rules, make all follow the rules." Gelot agreed, saying that he should not be signaled out: "We're not picking on you," said Clavon Kelly, a member of the sign committee, who said the new sign ordinance had been in the works for months. BILLING From Page 1-A over-billed that the city will repay them by crediting their accounts. Those underbilled have been in- structed they can repay the city through installments to their monthly bills over a two-year peri- od. But Nance said no money will be collected until an equitable solu- tion can be found for all. "We can't make any settlements until negotiations with Mr. Ruppe are firm," he said after the meeting. ~~ Citing "client/attorney privi- lege" City Attorney Mickey Corry said only that negotiations will continue. Billing errors prompted the city to examine its billing system and a utility audit is currently being con- ducted by a Charlotte firm. Good Thru Saturday Guyton concurred. "You should have come to town before Council told Jef (the acting plan- ning director) to start the enforee- Ment Process. "There has to be a starting point somewhere and you are the first to put up a new sign.” But both Brown and Gelot said Council is keeping business out and Gelot said he had not been welcomed in the manner he thought he would be welcomed as anew family practitioner. Gary Joy, a member of the sign committee, said that if Council does not put teeth into the law and enforce it that Council wasted the time of the members who spent hours working on the ordinance. "In the past people with a grievance got an exception and no exception is the only way to be fair to all." "The direction from the codes is what we will go by unless Council says otherwise," said Putnam. Putnam acknowledged problems along busy King Street where many signs have been put up in front of what used to be residences. "It's a difficult job and we'll get some flak but it's up to Council," he said. Putnam said that every new businessman who comes to town is given direction from City Hall on the placement of a sign. "Will existing signs be affected by the new sign regulations?" City Attorney Mickey Corry pushed for an answer, saying that once signs are regulated that codes officers must enforce. Corry acknowledged that en- forcement had posed a problem in prior years because of lack of iden- tification. and that the city could be liable in ‘instances where signs ob- structed traffic. Guyton commended Putnam and the five members of the sign com- mittee;, which included Joy, Childers, Clayvon Kelly, Tom Allison and Rodney Gordon. Gelot maintained that his sign meets the: purpose and intent of the sign ordinance. It isn't ugly, it blocks no one's view, its secure on my property." Spears argued that if City Council adopts the new ordinance it must stand behind it. He said 90 percent of signs in town are non- conforming and said Council had probably never enforced a sign or- dinance. "Dr. Gelot was wrong from day one. Personally, I like his sign," said Spears. il "We need you and we need law- abiding people." "If you bought a permit to put up a building and it didn't conform to codes would you still build it?" he asked the doctor. But Gelot said that putting up a sign was a different matter. "You were told it was wrong and you did it," argued Spears. Gelot wasn't pleased with Council's answers but now. takes his case before the board of adjust- ments which has the final say in the matter and can grant a variance. If the board of adjustments agrees with Council, however, the next recourse for Gelot is the courts. "I guess what they want new businesses to do is to pack up and leave town," said Gelot. But City Manager Chuck Nance said after the meeting the Planning Board and then the City Council could consider the amendment as the solution to Gelot's problem and help him keep his sign. "I'm not saying it's likely but that could be an alternative," said Nance.
