PLANNING REPORT DATE: 13 March 1991 CASE NUMBER: 2197 APPLICANT: George C. Brandt, Inc. LOCATION: 2975 Long Lake Road (see sketch) ACTION REQUESTED: variance Ordinance to Zoning PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS: 1. BACKGROUND This is an application for an "after the fact" variance to approve the location where the applicants have already installed their sign. Since an accurate site plan has not been submitted, it is impossible to measure exactly how much of a variance is required to approve this sign. There are three copies of correspondence for your review. The first is a letter from the applicant, J.C. Brandt, dated November 28, 1990. This letter was submitted along with the application for a variance. A picture was submitted along with this letter and a copy of that picture is also included for your review. The next letter is from Rick Jopke to Mr. Brandt dated January 7, 1991. In this letter Rick identifies the information that will be needed to complete the application. These three items include the certified list of surrounding property owners, an accurate site plan showing the exact location of the sign, and information to both explain the hardship that justifies this variance and supports the location that was selected. The third letter is Mr. Brandt's response to Rick Jopke's letter. This letter dated January 23, 1991, transmits the list of surrounding property owners along with the required mailing labels. It does not, however, transmit any site plan or any additional information in support of the variance. He states that no site plan is available (and is implicit in his response that he chooses not to make one available). He also states that his previous letter and the photograph are sufficient justification for the variance.
