At its regular committee meeting on May 23, 2011, the ARC approved a motion to recommend the Board of Directors consider an amendment to the Design Guidelines for garage/ estate sale signs. As stated in Section 8.09(e) of the CC&Rs, the ARC may develop and approve written guidelines for “other signs, such as open house or garage sale signs.” The ARC recommends adoption of the following amendment to the Design Guidelines: Proposed Addition to Design Guidelines Section 85 85 Signs. 85.7 Garage / Estate Sale Sign. No more than one unlighted, temporary sign pertaining to the sale shall be permitted for any one (1) residence. The sign shall not exceed nine (9) square feet in area (typically 3 feet x 3 feet). The maximum height of the sign shall not exceed four (4) feet. a. Time – The garage/ estate sale sign shall not be placed earlier than 8:00 AM on the day of the sale. The sign shall be on display only when the sale is open and must be removed immediately upon conclusion of the sale or no later than 7:00 PM of the same day. The city of Lincoln restricts garage / estate sales to one per year. b. Place – The garage/ estate sign shall be located only on private residential property with the consent of the property owner. Signs shall not be placed on a vehicle, fence, pole, tree, median, or railing. The sign shall not contain any balloons or wind devices and shall not be placed on common area, public property or right-of-way. c. Responsibility – Each Owner, or representative of the Owner, is responsible for the placement and removal of their respective sign. In any case, the Owner is ultimately responsible for making sure his/her agents comply with the Design Guidelines and may be subject to penalties for failing to do so.
