<br />~ <br /> <br />Council Consideration <br />Sign Permit <br />March 25, 1975 <br /> <br />Request: Council authorization of sign permit for one ground sign <br /> <br />Applicant: Wyman Nelson Enterprises <br /> <br />Location: 696 County Road D <br /> <br />Size of Siqn: 12' x 10' = 120 sq. ft. <br /> <br />Discussion: <br /> <br />The proposed sign would be located generally near the northeast <br />corner of New Highway 8 and County Road D. It would be the only <br />ground sign and there would be no signs on the building. <br /> <br />Under Section l4-040(b) of the present ordinance. the <br />property could have 5 square feet of signing for each lineal <br />foot of frontage. This permits a total of 1600 square feet of <br />signing. The present ordinance also places a 35' height limit <br />and a 40' setback requirement on the sign. <br /> <br />The proposed ordinance regulates the height and area of the <br />sign based on the type of abutting road. In this case, the sign <br />is located near the intersection of a freeway ana a non-freeway <br />road. The ~rdinance contains no guidance as to which set of <br />standards to apply. The applicant also has not indicated which <br />way the sign will face. <br /> <br />If the freeway standards, 170 square feet and 35 foot height, <br />are applied, the sign would conform. If the non-freeway standards, <br />64 square feet and 20 foot height, are applied, then the sign <br />will exceed the area requirements and could exceed the height <br />requirement. Their plans show three possible heights. Any <br />motion to approve a sign permit should specify the height <br />permitted. <br /> <br />The proposed ordinance would allow a 13 1/3' setback, however, <br />the proposed ordinance requires 40'. Two sign locations are <br />shown on the plan, one with a 40' setback and the other with <br />approximately a 20' setback. A motion to grant the permit should <br />also specify the sign location. <br />
