BACKGROUND:
At the General Purpose and Administration Committee meeting
of September 17, 1984 the Committee considered Staff Report
PD-159-84 in respect of a proposed amendment to the Town 's
Sign By-law which was initiated by a request from Neon
Products Limited for permission to erect a billboard on a
property abutting Highway 401 . As a result of the
Committee' s consideration, an amendment was proposed which
would eliminate the split jurisdiction over signs on lands
abutting Provincial highways and affected by Ministry of
Transportation and Communication regulations. This however,
did not resolve the matter of billboards to the satisfaction
of Neon Products, and as a result of the Committee
discussion, it was felt that a further amendment would be
appropriate to facilitate the erection of billboards within
the Town of Newcastle on lands abutting Provincial highways
and located beyond the jurisdiction of Ministry of
Transportation and Communication regulations.
Staff, in consultation with Neon Products Limited, have
* prepared a further amendment to By-law 76-25 which would
facilitate the request made by Neon Products Limited. Staff
note that the Council meeting on October 22, 1984, has been
advertised as the date upon which Council will consider the
proposed by-law amendment and includes a requirement that
those persons wishing to speak to the proposed by-law, make
the necessary arrangements to the Clerk on or before October
17, 1984.
