Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 7, July 1, 2024
(1) General Service
			 Signs for Gas, Food, Lodging and Camping may be used in conjunction with Logo
			 Signs for eligible Services Legends that are not represented by a Logo
			 Sign.
(2) A Trailblazer may be
			 installed upon the recommendations of the Council and approval of the Engineer
			 at Intersections of Conventional State Highways, or Intersections of
			 Conventional State Highways and county roads or city streets if it can be
			 placed on Conventional State Highway right of way. Trailblazers may also be
			 installed on county roads and city streets with the approval of authorities for
			 the local jurisdiction. The text for Trailblazers must have a minimum letter
			 height of 4 inches. Standards for Trailblazers must be adopted by the
			 Engineer.
(3) Subject to the
			 approval of the Council, and if spaces are available, the logo plaque of a
			 Business may be placed on a Ramp or Intersection Sign, although its logo plaque
			 cannot be placed on a Mainline or Advance Logo Sign because permits have
			 already been issued for the maximum number of logo plaques for the particular
			 Logo Sign. If the Logo Sign is not available due to lack of space on an
			 Interstate, Freeway or Expressway, a General Service Sign for that Service
			 Legend must first be installed.
(4)
			 If applications are received for any one Interchange or Intersection for more
			 than the maximum allowable logo plaques to be placed on any one Logo Sign, the
			 order of priority for the wait list must be based on the date of the properly
			 completed application received by the Council.
(5) A Business may apply for Logo Signs, TOD
			 Signs and Museum Signs on more than one adjacent or intersecting highway to
			 that Business.
(6) Any Business may
			 be allowed one logo plaque on one Mainline or Advance Logo Sign in each
			 direction of travel for each Service Legend on any Interstate, Freeway,
			 Expressway or Conventional State Highway.
(7) Any TOD or Museum Business may be allowed
			 one Advance TOD or Museum Sign in each direction of travel on any Conventional
			 State Highway.
(8) The Owner or
			 Responsible Operator of a Business must file an application for placement of
			 its logo plaque on a Logo Sign. After criteria have been met and Permits
			 issued, must tender the permit fee for the first year. The Business must also
			 agree to furnish the necessary logo plaques to be affixed to the Logo
			 Signs.
(9) The Owner or Responsible
			 Operator of a Business must file an application for placement of a TOD Sign or
			 Museum Sign. After criteria have been met and Permits issued, must tender the
			 permit fee for the first year.
(10)
			 Eligibility of Businesses for continued placement of their logo plaque on a
			 Logo Sign or TOD Sign or Museum Sign may be reviewed by the Council at any time
			 to assess whether the Business or the Logo Sign, TOD Sign or Museum Sign
			 location meets present guidelines. If the review finds that the Business or the
			 sign location does not meet all applicable rules and laws, the sign or logo
			 plaque may be removed. If the sign or logo plaque is removed, the remaining
			 permit fees will be refunded.
(11)
			 If payment is not received for a renewal permit on or before the payment due
			 date stated in the Council's invoice, the logo plaque or sign may be removed.
			 The space made available after the removal of a logo plaque or sign due to
			 nonpayment of fees may be offered to the next qualified Business on a wait list
			 for that Sign. Should space continue to be available and the removed Business
			 desire to have its logo plaque or sign reinstalled, the Council may require a
			 new review to be performed prior to approving the reinstallation. If approved
			 for reinstallation, the Business must pay the permit fees due and
			 reinstallation fee prior to reinstallation of their logo plaque or
			 sign.
(12) Notwithstanding section
			 (10) of this rule, a Business is entitled to the installation of a logo plaque
			 or sign for one year following the remittance of their permit or
			 invoice.
(13) Notwithstanding
			 section (10) of this rule, the logo plaque or sign of a Business may be removed
			 and replaced by another qualified Business for failure to comply with
			 subsections (a)-(c) of this section as hereafter set out:
(a) If the Business fails to correct and
			 provide all of the services required for its specific type pursuant to
			 733-030-0021  within 30 days after written notice thereof is mailed to the
			 Business;
(b) If the Business fails
			 to open for business for more than seven consecutive days or for more than 10
			 days cumulatively, during any one-year period, unless the Council finds that
			 closure for such period was beyond the control of the Owner or Responsible
			 Operator, or that the closure was justified by extenuating circumstances;
(c) The logo plaque is not kept in
			 a proper state of repair; is non-reflective, peeling, fading, chipping or
			 otherwise unattractive; or does not meet requirements for size or Supplemental
			 Messages.
