2 Business Owners Face Sign Infraction Fines

Downtown, a nite club that has recently sparked a considerable amount of debate for introducing cage dancing......is in the lime light again.  They have violated the Village Sign ordinance by:

From village signs 5209

• Installing a sign without the prior approval of the VB.  
• The smaller old sign was replaced with a larger one which still requires a permit.
• The new sign is also a back lighted sign which is not allowed by the sign ordinance.

The owners have been notified by the VB to remove this sign immediately.  The owners have apparently ignored the VB and as a result will be fined $350 or face a trip to the HOOSEGOW.

The Korner is a family orientated restaurant.  This business has been a part of the business community without attracting any kind of attention other than normal advertising.  The owner of the Korner has also violated  the Village sign ordinance.

• Installing a sign without the prior approval of the VB.  
• The smaller old sign MAY have been replaced with a larger one which requires a permit.
• The new sign is also a back lighted sign which is not allowed by the sign ordinance.

Looky here,[almost] the same identical infractions! How will the VB handle these violations?  Will the lawyers get involved? Will anything be done or will it be quietly swept under the carpet?
