The applicant is requesting setback variance approval to place a new monument sign on the street lot line where a setback of 5 feet is required. 2.Background. The applicant is requesting approval of a variance for a 0-foot setback from the street property line. A 5 foot setback is required from all property lines for a moument sign. The proposed sign is 9’ x 1.4’ and will be 7.3 feet tall which is a conforming size. The monument sign will include the business name, a digital changable signage area, and a faux stone base. The property currently has a 8’ wide sign installed on two 4”x 4” posts, located between the building and the pavement of County Road 15. The existing sign is situated over the property line and encroaches two feet into the right-of-way. The existing sign is also located over a utility easement; the new monument sign is proposed to remain within the utiliy easement. The proposed plan would remove the current sign which encroaches into the right-of- way with a new sign at a 0-foot setback. 3.15.99 Deadline. The applicant made a complete application on July 20, 2022. The 60-Day review period ends on September 19, 2022 4.Planning Commission Vote and Comment. The planning commission held a public hearing on August 15, 2022. No comments from the public were made during the public hearing. The Commissioners discussed their concerns with the proposed encroachments into the setback and the proposed digital display on the sign. Commissioners noted the digital display proximity to the road was not supported. The Commission voted 3-2 (Erikson and Kraemer) to deny the variance request. The draft meeting minutes are attached as Exhibit D. 5.Public Comment. No public comments were received. 6.Staff Recommendation. Staff finds there are conforming building locations which would meet the setback requirement. Any encroachment in the utility easement would require an encroachment agreement.
