To consider a draft
ordinance to amend Chapter 31 of the Burbank Municipal Code
(zoning code) to prohibit construction of new advertising
signs or structures (billboards).
In October 1998 the City of Los Angeles also adopted an
ordinance controlling outdoor tobacco and alcohol advertising
in proximity to certain uses.
There are four existing billboards in the SSF redevelopment
area, and eight proposed locations.
Six of the studies conclude a link between billboards or
roadside advertising and three conclude no correlation;
one (the 1980 FHWA study) is inconclusive.
The fact that the city has received as many applications
in the last three months as in the last three decades may
be evidence of this, although at least some of the recent
proposals may be partly a response to the City considering
limitations at all (that is, an attempt to "vest"
the applications).

Stamford and Orange
have won major battles in their fight to stop a billboard
company from putting up massive signs, some as high as 90
feet, along the Boston Post Road in Orange and I-95 in Stamford.
Ten billboards were proposed for Orange, and two each for
Milford and Stamford.
Granite State Outdoor Advertising filed lawsuits in federal
court against Stamford, Orange, and Milford, claiming that
each municipality's zoning regulations pertaining to signs
violated the U.S. Constitution's First Amendment.
In Granite State Outdoor Advertising v. Zoning Board of
Stamford, U.S. District Court Judge Alan Nevas granted Stamford's
motion for outline judgment against Granite State.

Outdoor bridges the gap between in home advertising from
other media, and the out of home purchase, by giving information
and directing people to a business.
There are two kinds of standardized billboard products:
bulletins and 30-sheet poster panels.
Bulletin structures carry either painted or printed messages,
and measure 14' by 48' and 10'6" by 36' plus extensions.
Poster panels are widely distributed throughout the market
on primary and secondary arterials to provide complete coverage
to vehicular residents plus inbound and outbound commuters.

Right then I became
the local sign painter "self-appointed" in the
little town of Avon in central Illinois, population 799.
We moved to Peoria, Illinois in 1940 and ended up in a union
sign shop as an apprentice.
I started thinking of leaving Wabnitz to go into business
for myself in Clarksville in the spring.
I had become acquainted with sign shops in both areas --
Bob Nichols in Ocala, Florida and Paul Millet in Mesa, Arizona.
With our sons in college, there was no reason for my wife
and me to stay in a cold climate, so we moved to Mesa, Arizona
in 1973.

Barry Sayer, CE
of Clear Channel Independent, formerly Corpcom says the
outdoor advertising industry should take a stronger line
on self-regulation.
He says the industry should discourage actions in which
companies erect billboards without approval, such as the
big boards along the M1/N1 motorway between Sandton and
Pretoria, which were not approved by the National Roads
agency.
Sayer says companies should support the authorities by not
advertising with outdoor media owners who cannot show that
their sites have been approved.
Another Altmedia (for Alternative/Ambient Media) company,
GMR Transit Media, specialises in taxi, train and trailer
advertising, and also has ads in stations and at taxi ranks.

The outdoor advertising
medium delivers advertisers' messages to the consumer in
a public arena necessitating a high sensitivity to community
standards as well as a vigilant defense of commercial free
speech.
We, the members of the Outdoor Advertising Association of
America (OAAA), are careful to place outdoor advertisements
for products illegal for sale to minors on advertising displays
that are a reasonable distance from the public places where
children most frequently congregate.
We support establishing reasonable limits on the total number
of outdoor displays in a market that may carry messages
about products that are illegal for sale to minors.
We support billboards as a business use to be erected only
in commercial and industrial areas.

The earliest centuries
Symbolic advertising may have come into existence very early,
when individuals banded together into tribes for mutual
protection.
By 1910 he had perfected a neon discharge tube, and obtained
a French patent covering the electrodes and processing system.
By 1930, practically every city or town, however small,
had its neon signs with colors limited to the conventional
red neon and mercury blue.
During the 1930's a number of companies not affiliated with
the sign industry developed products specifically designed
for use by sign manufacturers, such as transformers, electrodes
and ballasts - thereby creating a new sign supply industry.

Media that reach
prospects outside their homes-like outdoor advertising,
bus and taxicab advertising, subway posters, and terminal
advertising - are part of the broad category of out-of-home
media.
Plant operators (outdoor advertising companies who own and
maintain outdoor structures) find suitable locations, lease
or buy the property, acquire the necessary legal permits,
erect the structures to conform with local building codes,
contract with advertisers for poster rentals, and post the
panels or paid bulletins.
When advertiser needs to saturate a market to introduce
a new product, outdoor advertising makes broad coverage
possible overnight.
Product packaging is important since 70 percent of all buying
decisions are made at the point of purchase.
Promotion - marketers send out personal invitations prior
to the show and have promotional activities (news releases,
telemarketing) and materials (handouts, brochures, giveaway
specialty items) to stimulate customer interest.

There are a million
stories in the Big City, and as many reasons to want to
hack a billboard.
If you can totally change the meaning of an advertisement
by changing one or two letters, you'll save a lot of time
and trouble.
You can convincingly fake letters that aren't on the board
by finding a closely matching letter style in the book and
using tracings of letters from your photo of the board as
a guide for drawing the new letters.
If you have a canvas or paper overlay as described in (F)
above, you can either tie the four corners and middle (top
and bottom) very securely, or, if you can reach the face
of the board by ladder or rope, attach the panel by screwing
the 1"x4" boards to the billboard.

Many bought into the super-wide realm for billboard production,
and some realized these high resolution digital printers
could easily be used for other, non-traditional applications.
New and innovative ways to broaden markets were being discovered,
such as printing huge, colourful mesh banners or decorative
barriers to cover up unsightly scaffolding and sundry around
construction sites.
New applications for super-wide Higher margins can be realized

Due to the habits of the
American consumer, (see "Reason for Outdoor Ads"
and "Viewing Habits"), outdoor advertising has
become more important for businesses and services, who
need to get their message to a large segment of the adult
population.
The company may equip the billboard with a unit that mechanically
changes every two to six seconds, so that at any given
time, one of three advertisers on the same billboard unit
will be visible from the roadway.
A perfect product to create impact throughout the market
utilizing several panels to reach up to 100% of the population.
Posters are bought in groups called "Showings",
over a 4-week period.
