Why is the Town of Farragut Ignoring Their Ordinance?

The Town of Farragut has a sign ordinance and in paragraph (f) governs political signs. Read the ordinance title and paragraph (f) below.

Sec. 9-406. – Sign regulations by land use and/or zoning districts.

(f) Political signs. One (1) non-illuminated sign per candidate per lot, parcel, or tract, not to exceed twelve (12) square feet in size and six (6) feet in height. No such signs are permitted on any public rights-of-way or other public property. Such political signs shall not be posted prior to thirty (30) days before an election and shall be removed by the owner of the property on which the sign is located within five (5) days after any election to which it refers.

As you can see no such signs are permitted on any public right of ways. They are everywhere in the right of way. As you can see there is a limit to one sign per property and an acceptable size. Take for example property located at 11730 Kingston Pike owned by an eye doctor, this morning there were three signs on the same piece of property.

So to businesses in Farragut that have been restricted to particular signs or prohibited from displaying banners. Use this post as evidence of the selective enforcement and tell Farragut to move on down the road because they are not consistent in adhering to their ordinances.
