S5765A-2011 Memo

BILL NUMBER:S5765A

TITLE OF BILL:
An act
relating to permitting the continued use of certain outdoor advertising
signs

PURPOSE:
To allow an outdoor advertising sign which had been damaged by a storm
and reconstructed in 2006 to remain in existence.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
This bill provides that an outdoor advertising sign shall be allowed
to continue to exist if it was lawfully in existence prior to
September 1, 1965, is located in Montgomery County, is visible from
the Thruway, and was damaged by bad weather and rebuilt prior to
January 1, 2007.
However, section 2 of the bill provides that this act shall be
repealed if any federal agency or any court of competent jurisdiction
determines that this act would render New York State ineligible for
the receipt of federal funds.

JUSTIFICATION:
In 2006, bad weather damaged an outdoor advertising sign in Montgomery
County near the New York State Thruway. Although the sign was allowed
to be reconstructed, at significant cost, the Department subsequently
indicated that the sign would need to be removed at the conclusion of
a five-year period in 2012.

This bill would create a limited exception that would enable this
particular sign to remain in existence. Not only did the affected
business invest a significant amount into rebuilding the sign, this
sign has long served as an important notice of lodging in the Fulton
County area, helping to promote tourism in the region.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
None.

EFFECTIVE DATE:
Immediately, provided that DOT shall notify the
Legislative Bill Drafting Commission upon the occurrence of events
resulting in the repeal of this act.
