733-030-0045 Special Requirements — Conventional Highways (1) Specific Service, TOD and Museum signs shall not be displayed for any business if its building or on-premise signing is visible and/or recognizable on the traveled way from a distance of 300 feet. Decreased distances may be allowed for businesses providing camping where issues of safety and RV maneuvering are concerned or in order to direct the traveling public to the business in order to avoid a traffic hazard or misdirection because of the complexity of the particular interchange or intersection. Visibility and recognition are determined by being able to recognize the business by observing the building or existing signing adjacent to or attached to the business, as to the Service Legend for which it has applied. A business that is visible within 300 feet or more, but is not recognizable, may qualify for signing if a favorable determination is made by the Council. However, in rural towns with a population of 500 persons or less, where there are minimal Services Legends meeting qualifications, and where the nearest available Services Legends are at least 25 miles from that town, the Council, upon consultation with the Engineer, may consider installing Specific Service Signs in cases where the business is visible on the traveled way closer than 300 feet. (2) Combination legend signing (i.e., legend reading "FOOD/LODGING," and displaying one business logo plaque) should be allowed in rural locations only. The business must be the only one available in the geographical area. Approval for combination legend signing will be under an agreement between the Council and the business. If another business is built in the area, the business with the combination legend signing will be required to display their logo plaques on two Logo Signs, one for each Service Legend. A business approved for combination legend signing will be required to pay 1-1/3 the annual fee for a business in its area.

733-030-0060 Waiver (1) Upon petition by a business, the Council may authorize a waiver of the appropriate requirements of 733-030-0021(4)–(13). The business shall list the particular requirements it seeks to have waived. The business shall show that the waiver will benefit the motoring public and not violate the overall intent of the rules, that no traffic hazard or reduction in traffic safety will occur, and that the motoring public can be advised of the waived condition on the Logo Plaque through a supplemental message or on the advance TOD or Museum sign through a rider. (2) Riders may be installed for seasonal TOD and Museum businesses which qualify only with an approved waiver and are the only business installed on a post. The rider shall be a concise, one line description of the waived issue. (3) Waivers may not be granted to a business applying for a Logo Sign, TOD Sign or Museum Sign that has a wait list. (4) Riders required as part of an open hours or open days criteria waiver or seasonal closure for TOD or Museum businesses shall be assessed a fee prior to installation. Sign revision fees shall be assessed when the business changes the days or hours of operation or takes other waiver-related action that requires a change in the rider message and therefore requires the manufacture and installation of new riders. (5) Any order of the Council denying a permit or waiver under these rules, or for removal of a logo plaque or sign under these rules, may be entered administratively without hearing, subject to requirements of ORS Chapter 183 and the administrative and judicial review as provided therein. The Council shall notify businesses promptly on any permit or waiver denial or decision to remove a logo plaque or sign under these rules.
