NORTHWEST ASSOCIATED CONSULTANTS INC. PLANNING REPORT TO: Little Canada Planning Commission FROM: David Licht /Dennis Arntson DATE: 4 October 1983 RE: Vitale - Sign Request - 93 West Little Canada Road FILE N0: 758.09 - 83.40 BACKGROUND A conditional use permit application has been filed by John Vitale for signing at his multiple occupancy office structure at 93 West Little Canada Road. The proposal is to add an 18 foot high freestanding sign with a reader board. REQUEST EVALUATION Attachments A and B identify existing signing on the site. The three suite identification /directional signs are treated as wall signs and are within the limits established by the ordinance. The real estate (rental sign) is also in compliance with ordinance provisions. The property identification sign (identified as sign #1 on the attachment) must be viewed as a freestanding sign. While in compliance now, the addition of the proposed sign is not allowed if the identification sign remains. Assuming the applicant is willing to remove the existing identification sign, the proposed freestanding sign is within limits established by the ordinance. The sign is 18 feet tall, 20 feet is permitted. The area of the sign is 112 feet, while 150 feet is allowed (see Attachment C). RECOMMENDATION Our office recommends that the requested conditional use permit for the proposed freestanding sign as illustrated in Attachment C be approved contingent upon removal of the existing freestanding property identification sign. It is also suggested that the real estate (rental) sign be removed as the reader board can serve this function. cc: Joseph Chlebeck Ed Locke.
