Boswell Properties Finally Placed Its Sign At SR 316 And Oconee Connector In Location Specified By Its Permit
The county has twice removed signs Boswell Properties installed in the right of way at the corner of SR 316 and the Connector.
It has taken more than two years, but Boswell Properties finally has gotten its sign for property it is listing at the corner of SR 316 and the Oconee Connector into compliance with Oconee County’s sign ordinance.
The sign now is located between SR 316 and Mars Hill Road on the Oconee Connector at the location specified in the permit the county issued to Boswell properties on Aug. 22, 2013, and the sign is the size specified in the permit.
The county has twice removed signs Boswell Properties installed in the right of way at the corner of SR 316 and the Connector because they violated the county’s sign ordinance, which requires that the signs be 5 feet back from the property line and, consequently, out of the right of way for the road.
Boswell Properties is owned by Jamie Boswell, a local commercial real estate broker who also is district representative to the Georgia Transportation Board, which is the governing body for the Georgia Department of Transportation.
