A. Sign design, material and construction shall comply with Chapter 4 of the Uniform Sign Code, adopted by the International Conference of Building Officials, as amended, which is adopted by reference and incorporated herein as if set forth in full. A copy of this code which has been adopted by reference in this title shall be available for inspection during normal and regular business hours at the office of the city clerk or at the office of the city building inspector.
B. All signs, as herein defined, shall be erected and constructed, placed and supported in such a manner so they will not be or become dangerous to the general public or surrounding property. It shall be the responsibility of the building inspector to determine, prior to the issuance of any certificate of acceptance, that any sign erected, constructed or structurally altered is of such construction and is so supported and erected as to be safe for the area in which it is placed. If the building inspector shall find that any sign is being erected, constructed, supported or maintained in such a manner as to become dangerous to the public or the surrounding area, then he shall give written notice to the sign permittee, owner or contractor erecting, constructing, altering or maintaining such sign, and upon such notice the sign permittee, owner or contractor shall immediately act to either make such sign safe or remove same.
