Fred and Margie Wyttenbach <br /> 11649 Boyd Road <br /> Chester, Virginia 23831 <br /> (804)-748-4013 (phone & fax) <br /> <br /> March 13, 2003 <br /> <br /> Dear Mr. Beikman, <br /> <br /> We are writing you to inform you that we are strongly opposed to the illegal billboard that has <br /> been erected at the comer of Keys Road and Bethel Church Road in the town on Mooresville. <br /> <br /> The purpose of this letter is to formally request that you take the necessary steps to have this sign <br /> removed immediately for the reasons that follow: <br /> <br /> 1) The billboard advertises property in an area of town far away from the location of the <br /> sign. <br /> <br /> Specifically, this violates Section 1.4 of the Mooresville County Code. This section of the Code <br /> states that the following is prohibited: <br /> <br /> "ADVERTISING STRUCTURES: Any outdoor structures designed for the purpose of <br /> advertising or making known any service or commodity that is not available upon the property <br /> on which the structure is located This shall include all billboards." <br /> <br /> 2) The property where this billboard is placed is not appropriately zoned to host such a <br /> billboard. <br /> <br /> It is zoned agricultural rather than industrial. Again, Section 1.4 of the County Code shows that <br /> this is in clear violation. <br /> <br /> "ADVERTISING STRUCTURES: Advertising structures are permitted only in Industrial B3 <br /> districts .... no sign shall be placed within 500feet of any dwelling or land platted and recorded <br /> for residential use..." <br /> <br /> 3) The billboard is visually offensive to the community. <br /> <br />~Si~cerely, ~- ~ , /, <br /> <br /> F(~_d~ ~a~ .d/Marg ie ¥0/~t ten bach <br /> <br /> cc: Planning & Zoning Commission <br /> Mr. Kerns, Attorney at Law <br /> <br /> <br />
