From: To: Cc: Lori Lee Dickson Subject: Sign Law Date: Tuesday, November 3, 2026 10:57:00 AM Good morning: I am sharing the below answers to the questions posed by Roseann Schuyler at the public hearing on the sign law: Under Section F (Placement; size; attachment) 1. Is the 8 foot height for non-commercial and exempt signs measured from grade? What about where grades differ? Yes, it is measured from the existing grade. The grade is measured at the base of the sign. 2. Do existing flagpoles need variances since new flagpoles will require building permits? The law has been clarified to state that flagpoles are not considered structures and do not require building permits. 3. Will no trespass signs attached to trees be covered by the prohibition? The law has been clarified to state that “no trespass” signs are considered exempt signage required by state law. There will be a grace period of one year for signage currently affixed to trees to be re-posted in a conforming way. Under Section R (Nonconforming signs) 1. Is there a time limit to obtain a variance for a pre-existing non-conforming sign? They would obtain a non-conforming sign permit and can maintain it for two years before they need to make the sign conforming. 1 Van Wyck Street, Croton-on-Hudson, N.Y. 10520 914-271-4848 / bhealy@crotononhudson-ny.gov http://www.crotononhudson-ny.gov/ Let’s connect on LinkedIn!
