<br />DATE: November 16, 1971 <br />CASE NUMBER: VN-81 <br />APPLICANT: Big B's Pizza A.R. Gill Manager <br />LOCATION: Lot B, South 50 feet of Lot 9, Block 1 Pike Lake Estates <br />REQUEST: Variance to rotate pylon sign of establishment 90° to a position perpen- <br />dicular to Silver Lake Road for better visibility of the sign. <br />PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS: <br />It is the petitioners contention that the present location and relationship of the. Big. B's <br />Pizza sign with regard to Silver Lake Road make it difficult to see from that thorough- <br />fare and that the subsequent lack of exposure thereto creates a hardship situation from <br />the standpoint of the business. <br />Visability of the sign appears to be substantially limited due to its relationship to the <br />site and structures on the site and some relocation or reorientation of the sign appears <br />to be the only workable alternative. <br />Under the provisions of Section 14-030 Signs in Business Districts in the New Brighton <br />Zoning Code " No sign shall project more than twenty-four (24) inches across <br />the front yard or side yard setbacks. Yet, in Section 14-050 General Regulations <br />paragraphs b and c appear to be in contradiction to the provisions of 14-030. Re- <br />view and possible re-draft of the Sign Ordinance appears warranted for purposes of <br />clarification and intent of the Ordinance. <br />The requested variance rotating the existing sign 90° appears to be a reasonable <br />petition. A drawing showing the present and proposed relationships of the sign to the <br />site and the roadway would be helpful in evaluating the request. <br />
