CORNERSTONE NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH <br />APPLICATION TO CITY OF ORONO <br />FEBRUARY 14,2000 <br />ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON SIGN <br />Term- <br />At the present time, the Church considers its occupancy of the property to be <br />temporary. The Church is therefore asking that the requested sign be approved for a 24 <br />month period, at which time the future of the Church in that location will be much <br />clearer. <br />B <br />Sign Construction- <br />The requested sign will be a 4 ft. by 8 ft. wooden sign. The existing sign supports <br />as noted on the survey will be used to attach the sign approximately 6 to 7 ft. off the <br />ground. This is the same set-up used to support the previous sign of the same size. <br />The background of the sign will be white with black letters. The letters in the <br />church name will be 12 inches high while the letters for other information on the sign will <br />be 6 inches high. <br />Lighting- <br />The sign will be lit by a small external spotlight situated near ground level in front <br />of the sign. <br />Reason for the Request- <br />Almost all churches have a sign at least 4 ft. by 8 ft. since the signs are used to list <br />information other than just the name of the church, such as service times and the type of <br />church. A 12 sq. ft. sign is not large enough to include the information so it can be read <br />from the highway. The speed limit near the sign is 55 mph and the sign is located near a <br />curve in the highway. These two factors make it more difficult to see the sign fix>m a <br />distance making it easy for people to miss the driveway to the building. Slowing down to <br />read a small sign on a busy highway could prove to be a hazard to people. <br />y <br />•t <br />• • <br />...}•• <br />-• . * -A
