At their August meeting, Lake of Bays Council reviewed a request for a new billboard sign on Hwy 60. Although the sign had been erected and leased with MTO approval, it was removed after being told it needed a Township permit.
The proposed sign would be on a two-acre residential property, but the Township’s bylaw restricts signs to properties over 50 acres or non-residential.
Council ultimately denied the request, with Mayor Terry Glover and Councillor George Anderson voicing concerns about sign proliferation and its impact on the community.
Municipal staff will review the sign bylaw this winter and investigate unpermitted signs on Hwy 35.
