 8        Sec.  6.01.  Size of signs.  No sign may be erected which

10    feet  in  length,  including  border  and trim, but excluding
11    ornamental base  or  apron,  supports  and  other  structural

15    amendatory  Act of 1992 in any county with a population under
16    2,000,000 that exceeds 800 square  feet  in  area,  excluding
17    extensions  and  cut-outs;  the  extensions  and cut-outs may
18    account for no more than an additional 20%  in  sign  surface
19    area. The maximum size limitation shall apply to each side of
20    a sign or sign structure. A maximum of 2 signs may be erected
21    in  a facing, in which event the facing shall be deemed to be
22    one sign, the size of which may  not  exceed  the  dimensions
23    listed  in  this  Section.  Signs  may  be double faced or be
24    placed back to back or V-type or  triangular,  provided  that
25    the angle between sign faces shall not exceed 90 degrees. The
26    area  shall  be  measured  by the smallest square, rectangle,
27    triangle, circle or combination thereof which will  encompass
28    the entire sign.
