CHICHESTER [NH] – The Board of Adjustment . . . rejected an appeal for a "Sign for Jesus" electronic sign proposal near a Route 4 intersection.
. . . Fab Cusson of Barnstead . . . purchased land near the corner of Route 4 and Main Street in November with plans to install a 12-foot tall electronic sign that would display one message from the Bible each day.
Cusson argued that the town's zoning ordinances are "contradictory" and a provision allowed for approval of an electronic sign after a public review. His proposal was also 20 square-feet smaller than the maximum allowed for a sign outside a business, officials said.
