Easton council alters sign fee guidelines
EASTON — The Easton Town Council made changes to the current sign fee guidelines on Monday night, in the midst of an overhaul of the town’s fee schedule. Recent meetings have included fee discussions surrounding trash pick-up, mattress disposal and more. At its meeting Monday night, the council suggested alterations to sign fees. Under previous guidelines, signs were considered either permanent or limited duration signs. Regardless of the type of sign, it required a town-issued permit, which cost $150. Permanent signs were charged once, while limited duration signs had to renew their permit — and pay the fee — annually. Mayor Megan Cook says the town made $13,200 on sign fees last year. According to Town Manager Andy Kitzrow, a change was recommended. “I believe, talking with our planning and zoning director, there’s still an appetite to maintain for other signs a permit fee of $150,” Kitzrow told the council. “Our recommendation would be to modify it. If we were going to modify it at all, it would be to split that into two.” Town planning staff ultimately recommended distinguishing between permanent signs — which would still bear a permit fee — and free limited duration signs within town code.
