You might want to give me a call or send me a private email and I can discuss a little further with you. But the essence however is that the business Accessory is entitled to just as much protection under the statute as is any principal use, and as a result you should be able to replace the sign with an improved version if you wish to, and any provisions of the zoning ordinance to the contrary, should not apply.

I have asked local building Inspector and told no. I have to change the sign to reflect new name, but local inspector has no comment to what would be approved, only that my suggestion and desire will not pass, due primarily to non conforming.
