§ 70-214. Projections over sidewalks, streets and malls.

A. 

In any use district, no sign, awning or other encroachment nor any portion of such sign, awning or other encroachment shall project out, over or into a sidewalk, street or mall unless the lowest portion of such encroachment is at least seven feet in height above such sidewalk, street or mall, except as otherwise modified by the remainder of this section.

B. 

Subject to the approval of the Town Highway Department, marquees at entrances to buildings may extend beyond the street line and across the sidewalk to within two feet of the curbline, provided they are not less than 10 feet above the curb level at all points. That side of a marquee attached to a portion of a building and the side of the marquee parallel to it may not exceed in size a number of feet equal to 50% of that portion of the building to which it is attached.

C. 

Drop awnings attached to buildings may extend beyond the street line but not nearer than two feet to the curbline, provided that when let down to their full extent they are not less than seven feet above the sidewalk at all points, and provided further that no lettering or other display shall be placed thereon other than the name of the individual, firm or corporation transacting business in the building, and the house number. No fixed awnings shall extend beyond the street line. These provisions shall not prohibit the use for periods not to exceed 48 hours of temporary canopies across sidewalks so arranged that a free passage at least six feet in width is afforded along the sidewalk.

D. 

Nothing in this section shall be deemed to authorize any projection beyond the street line that is prohibited by the Building Zone Ordinance or any other law or ordinance.
