Zoning issues the sign permits we look at the construction details and approve or disapprove the construction design. Not a building department permit it is a zoning sign permit
Even though we cannot adopt appendix H because the state has not adopted it we use it as a " standard guide" when looking at the construction design of a sign.
Maybe you can modify the height restrictions in the language below and use it for a "monument" sign.
SECTION H109
GROUND SIGNS
H109.1 Height restrictions.
The structural frame of ground signs shall not be erected of combustible materials to a height of more than 35 feet (10 668 mm) above the ground. Ground signs constructed entirely of noncombustible material shall not be erected to a height of greater than 100 feet (30 480 mm) above the ground. Greater heights are permitted where approved and located so as not to create a hazard or danger to the public.
Like the term "ground signs", breakaway bases may warrant consideration.
H109.2 Required clearance.
The bottom coping of every ground sign shall be not less than 3 feet (914 mm) above the ground or street level, which space can be filled with platform decorative trim or light wooden construction.
H109.3 Wood anchors and supports.
Where wood anchors or supports are embedded in the soil, the wood shall be pressure treated with an approved preservative.
