Cricket .Inn/Grffis, Inc. --2- May 13, -1975 There is 952 square feet of business signing .:already on the property, so that it is already non-conforming in that regard. The present ordinance also allows-one advertisin=g structure (billboard) per 50 feet of frontage. Given that standard, three billboards would be allowed on the property..: One billboard is now there. The requested sign conforms to this requirement. The proposed ordinance allows. billboards abutting freeways provided they are not within 200 feet of`a residential district and not. within 1000 feet of each other.. It appears.: that the proposed sgn`would be within 130' - 140' of the residential district on the east side of the freeway.- The boundary line between the districts runs down the center of I-35W. _For the same reason, the existing billboard on the property would be less. than 200` from the same district boundary line.. The existing and proposed billboards would be approximately 1100' apart and so would meet that requirement: The proposed ordinance would allow a billboard up to 300 square -feet in area and. 35 feet high. The proposed billboard would be .300 square feet and 25 feet high. The. proposed 4' x 8' temporary sign would put the billboard :over the 300 square foot Limit. It would be set back approximately 40 feet from the freeway. The .principal problem regarding ccnformance to the proposed ordinance is Section 14-190 (f) which states in part that no more than one billboard shall be constructed on each billboard site... It is unclear whe~her "site" in this case means lot or parcel, or, whether it is intended that each location separated by 1000' from a billboard may be a site for another billboard. The existing building signing deviates from the proposed :ordinance in a number of ways. One sign faces County Road D and violates the proposed ordinance because it extends beyond tree outline of the building. 'w`here is a sign on the east side facing the freeway, which covers .about b6/ of its signable area. Lastly, there is a sign on the north sidw of the building facing the yard cahere trailers are stored. Tt is questionable vrhether this is a ~s:rkng .lot where signing, is permitted under the proposed ordinance.
