13.07 - Signs and Advertising Structures Restricted.

§ 13.07 Signs and advertising structures restricted. 1. In order to
conserve the natural beauty of and the investment of the state in state
parks and parkways by preserving and regulating them for public uses,
for the resort of the public for recreation, transportation, pleasure,
air, light and enjoyment by keeping them in good order for the welfare
of society, and to prevent the unrestricted use of signs and advertising
structures and devices immediately adjacent to them, no person shall
erect or maintain within five hundred feet of the border of any state
park or parkway any advertising sign or advertising structures or
devices of any kind, except under written permit from the office or
state agency charged with responsibility for the maintenance of such
park or parkway. The provisions of this section shall not apply to signs
erected or maintained upon property in connection with a business
conducted thereon, provided that such signs have an area of not more
than twenty-four square feet, do not extend more than fifteen feet above
the ground level, and are placed on the fronts of buildings.

2. The provisions of this section shall apply to all parkways
constructed within the limits of a city with state funds or federal
highway aid. In the event that jurisdiction is transferred pursuant to
law from the office or state agency to a municipal park commission or
department, the provisions of this section shall remain effective as to
such parkways, and shall thereafter be enforced by the local park
commissioner, commission or public authority to whom the jurisdiction is
transferred.

3. In addition to any fine or penalty provided by this chapter, the
attorney-general may institute any proper action, suit or proceeding to
prevent, restrain, correct or abate a violation of this section or to
cause the removal of any sign, advertising structure or device erected
or maintained in violation of the provisions of this section.
