Oconee County Removed Boswell Signs From Oconee Connector And SR 316 Intersection
County Code Enforcement sent letters to three commercial real estate firms regarding requirements of the county ordinance; two complied.
Oconee County Thursday removed the two-sided sign that Jamie Boswell, District 10 representative to the state Transportation Board, had at the southwest corner of SR 316 and the Oconee Connector more than seven months after the county asked Boswell to move the sign.
Oconee County Code Enforcement sent Boswell a letter on Oct. 17 setting a deadline of Nov. 17 for him to bring the sign into compliance with the county’s ordinance, which prohibits signs in the public right of way.
Code Enforcement sent a similar letter to Nichols Land and Investment Group and Andy Homeyer. Nichols had a sign in the northeast corner of the SR 316 and Oconee Connector intersection, and Homeyer had a sign on the southeast side.
The Boswell, Nichols and Homeyer signs listed the properties in the intersection as available for purchase.
Both Nichols and Homeyer moved their signs back from the right of way into the property they have listed for sale.
