ADAMS TWP — Township officials continue to monitor dangerously placed real estate signs, according to supervisors at Monday night's meeting.

Township manager Gary Peaco in February explained township code dictates that real estate signs staked off-premise are often illegally placed near intersections and streets.

Going forward, the township may clarify the code to allow for real estate signs to be placed in certain areas at certain times. Peaco said township solicitor Sean Gallagher is working on amendments now.

Tim Stack, a township resident, said he hopes any ordinance clarifications remove the problems altogether.

“Hopefully, we can eliminate these signs,” Stack said. “They're really bad for our community.”

Stack said aside from being “eyesores,” and sometimes in the sightlines of drivers, the prominence of the signs suggests the township is “pro-development.”

Russell Ford, supervisors chairman, agreed some signs have been erected in a way that poses a danger to drivers.

This doesn't mean the township is taking a stance on development, according to Ford.

“The township is not saying that we're pro-development,” Ford said.

Mike Gallagher, who is also a township solicitor, explained the township as a rule can't ban real estate agencies from staking signs.

“We can't ban things,” Gallagher said. “We can regulate things.”

The township would have authority on township property. Ford said if a sign is inappropriately placed or proves to be dangerous, staff will address the problem.

“We're not going to ignore it,” Ford said.
