UPDATE 2
Hello All,
I Just wanted to let you know that Mr. LeHotan has decided to withdraw his massive billboard sign application from the Board of Zoning Appeals. He said he has decieded to go in another direction. If I hear word that he has decided to re-apply I will most certaily let you know. I guess we can breath easy, at least for now.

UPDATE:
Here's a letter from Chuck Ricco, our ward 1 councilman, regarding the LED billboard sign. This is no longer an issue for now, but might come back again. It is important to submit your email address using the form to the right so we can contact you if this becomes an issue again!
"I wanted to thank all of you for your efforts regarding the I-71 sign variance. I was able to talk to the applicant yesterday and was told by him that he would table his request. I received confirm...ation this morning that he did in fact ask for his variance to be tabled. We can rack this up as a victory! However, there still remains the option for him to put this back on the agenda at a future date. For now the troops can be immobilized as this issue will NOT be heard at tonights BZA meeting. Thank you again for contacting me, should you have any issues in the future please do not hesitate to contact me again. I appreciate hearing your input as it helps me to better represent you."
For those of you who did not receive notice. There is a company that applied for a variance with the city for a 2 sided
LED “JUMBOTRON” billboard which will tower 70ft in the air and flash full color messages 24 hours a day! Unless you act!
[Notice from Brunswick Board of Zoning Appeals] 
It will be visible from your house!
The proposed sign is 1344 Square foot of flashing changing advertising that’s larger than the entire front of your house! That much space is:
45ft wide 30-70ft tall!
Are property values going to drop $10,000 to $20,000 as the second sun flashes all night? Can we stop the new monster sign? Yes, but only if you go!
You must attend the hearing on 3/22/2011 @ 7:30pm to say no!! or Sign the petition against the sign variance! The Board of appeals will approve the sign if you don’t speak up!
Why didn’t you get notice? Only the homes within 500 ft of the sign which is the entire back street of our development!
