• PLANNING REPORT DATE: CASE NUMBER: APPLICANT: LOCATION: ACTION REQUESTED: PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS: 2 October 1985 1620-85 B-Dale Properties South of County Road B, Westerly of Dale Street (see sketch) Variance to Pylon Sign Setback 1. Attached is a copy of a statement submitted by Dale A. Simonson, one of the principals of B-Dale Properties. The letter explains the circumstances of the present placing of the sign, for which a building permit was issued (verified by the Building Department) for the sign to be placed the required 30 feet from the north property line. The property line is the south right-of-way line of County Road B, which is the required 43 feet from the section line (the center line of County Road B). 2. Attached is a copy of a drawing illustrating the location of the sign relevant to County Road B and the contiguous parking area. You will note that the sign is placed 19 feet from the right-of-way, rather than the required 30 feet. The merchants in the area now desire to add 40 square feet to the existing 50 square foot Pylon sign. In as much as the sign is not conforming, a sign permit allowing for an expansion of the sign cannot be issued without a variance being processed, which will, of course, remove the nonconforming status of the existing sign. The maximum sign area, according to the building code, is 100 square feet. The sign, as currently proposed, will total• 90 square feet. 3. Mitigating the impact of the proposed variance is the fact that the parking lot is setback 19 feet from the property line rather than the minimum 15 foot prescribed in the ordinance. There is also, in this case, a very wide boulevard to the south curb line of Count, Road B, there being a total of 3Y feet from the sign to the south curb of County Road B. Thus, the existing sign location does not visually appear to encroach on the traveled portion of County Road B at this location.
