The City, has traditionally, considered simflar proposals, where the size of <br />the sign (17.5 square feet,), is substantially less than allowed and placed <br />a few, feet above the ground rather than the allowed 25, foot pylon sign <br />height. Thus, in this case, the sign area is 17.5 percent of the <br />allowable area, and the distance proposed "is 25 percent of the required <br />40 <br />feet. <br />4. The <br />proposal, 'is for a, reduction In setback to the <br />frontage road <br />reducing <br />the <br />distance from 40 feet to A feet, with the condition that <br />the sign <br />be <br />constructed as submitted with the maximum <br />height of .,3 <br />feet 4 <br />inches., Attached is a, statement from Ms. Ternes <br />outlining her <br />proposal <br />and <br />her reasons, for this submission, <br />5. The sign might actually, look a little, better if the masonry wall were <br />slightly longer. U_ p to a, 50 percent increase in length might result in <br />better proportions rather, than confining the length to accommodate the <br />lettering only. <br />
