Discussion of repealing the commercial zoning followed. Mr. Marier asked if property sold under the old re- zoning code would carry the rezoning to the new owner. Mr. Locher said Yes, under the old code but not the new one. Mr. Locher felt that if we repealed the zoning on the Harris . property they could challenge and we could get involved in a law suit. He felt that some of the owners would not challenge and the property could revert to the original zoning.

Mr. Locher said Yes, that our code says they must be inspected annually, since we require sign permits. Also to insure that they are safe and if a sign has been removed, that all the debris is removed. If the signs are not inspected then we cannot charge a fee for inspection.
