The Farragut Planning Commission voted to recommend Ordinance 25-09 to the Board of Mayor and Aldermen. The ordinance clarifies when private signs may be removed by property owners or town enforcement by defining the public right-of-way for sign-removal purposes as 12 feet measured from the back of curb or, where there is no curb, from the edge of the street.

Staff said the clarification responds to inconsistent practices about where the public right-of-way lies along various streets and that the 12-foot measure aligns with a typical local-street edge standard used in subdivisions. The clarification is intended to provide consistent, written criteria for sign enforcement across arterial, collector and local streets in town.

There was no public comment and the planning commission moved, seconded and approved the recommendation that the Board of Mayor and Aldermen adopt the ordinance. The ordinance will proceed to the board for final readings and enactment.
