Memo to Planning Commission/GP 00-2 <br /> March 28,2000 <br /> Page 2 <br /> • The existing sign has letters across the top that spell FOOD. The proposed <br /> alteration would remove those letters and replace them with the Embers logo <br /> at a lower location on the sign. In order to maintain the structural integrity <br /> of the sign, the support poles will not be changed. The new sign face will fit <br /> within the existing poles. <br /> The sign ordinance allows one freestanding sign per lot unless there is more <br /> than 300 feet of road frontage. If the lot had 300 feet of frontage, they would <br /> be allowed 2 freestanding signs and there would have to be 150 feet between <br /> signs. The lot on which the two signs are located has 227 feet of frontage on <br /> Highway 10. There is about 200 feet between the Amoco sign and the Tally <br /> Ho sign. <br /> The existing sign is 156 square feet. The proposed Embers sign will be <br /> smaller at 80 square feet. The existing sign is 30 feet high and the proposed <br /> Embers sign is lower at 25 feet high. The sign is setback 15 feet from the <br /> front property line and 12 feet from the side property line. It complies with <br /> the size, setback and height requirements. <br /> Recommendation <br /> • Since the sign alteration involves lowering the height of the sign and making <br /> it smaller, and the sign complies with the setback and height requirements, <br /> staff is recommending the Planning Commission recommend approval of the <br /> request to alter an existing non-conforming sign to allow changing the sign <br /> • <br /> face from "FOOD" to "Embers" and placing the Embers logo at a lower <br /> location on the sign. <br /> • <br /> S:\PLANNING\SCOTT\GP002.DO C <br />
