Electronic reader board signs, if permitted by Code Amendment 87-15, will be incompatible with surrounding existing and proposed developments, especially residential land uses. 3. Electronic reader board signs, if permitted by Code Amendment No. 87-15, will have the potential of creating a congestion and circulation hazard to passing motorists. The motion failed by the following roll call vote: AYES: Green, Finley, Winchell NOES: Kelly, Erskine, Mays ABSENT: (Bannister out of the room) Mayor Erskine informed Council that Councilman Bannister left the room as he wished to abstain from voting on the issue.
