Council approves continuance regarding sign ordinance
After much deliberation and listening to public comment, the Fort Myers Beach Town Council unanimously approved to continue its second public hearing regarding amending an existing sign ordinance from last night’s meeting to its April 18 meeting at 6:30 p.m.
The ordinance, which was passed by council members in 1999, has not been officially addressed since town officials allowed a grace period in April 2008.
Before the grace period, the ordinance gave businesses and condominium associations on Estero Island more than eight years to comply with replacing existing signage with new, smaller monument-style signs.
