Upon the filling of such application by an applicant for a proposed billboard or sign, the City Administrator or City Engineer shall examine the proposed site for the erection of the structure, satisfy himself or herself of the accuracy of the representations made in the application and, if he or she shall determine that the erection, construction, reconstruction or alteration will not be detrimental to the public safety, the public health or the public welfare, he or she shall issue a permit for the erection of same.
If the City Administrator or City Engineer shall refuse to issue a permit for such erection, construction, reconstruction or alteration upon an application therefor, the applicant shall have the right to request that his application be submitted to the Board of Aldermen at its next regular meeting to be held after such refusal, and, if a majority of the Board of Aldermen present and voting at such a meeting shall favor the issuance of such a permit, the City Administrator or City Engineer shall issue same.
