Zoning File ><^1964 September 12, 1994 Page 2 There are two other existing permanent signs on the property. A free-standing 8 ’ high by 8' wide illuminated sign is on the property at the comer of Dunwoody and Count) Road 15. Also, flush-mounted lettering. "Calvary Memorial Church" is on the west side of the building facing Dunwoexly. The existing signage totals approximately 103 s.f. and the new sign will bring the total to approximately 148 s.f. Assuming the church and school arc a single entity. Section 10.61, Subd. 2 (A) (3) would allow one sign with two 12 s.f. faces for a total of 24 s.f. Note that the new sign will replace a temporary' banner hanging on the north wall. Variances Required : • Square footage for an individual sign (12 s.f. allow^ed, 45 s.f. proposed). • Signage square footage (24 s.f. allowed. 148 s.f. proposed). • Maximum height of sign will be approximately 9’ (8 ’ allowed). Statement of Hardship Please review the applicant ’s letter of request regarding the need for signage on the property. Also note that in neither Resolution No. 886 approving a conditional use permit for Calvary Memorial Church and school, nor in the 1983 variance and CUP for construction of an addition, was the issue of signage discussed. As a comparison, note that the B-1, B-2 and B-4 districts would allow 1 s.f. of signage for each front foot of b« ?'ding plus 1 s.f. for each front foot of lot not occupied by a building, with a maximum individual sign not to exceed 50 s.f. It this property was zoned commercially, it would likely be allowed nearly 500 s.f. of signage along County Road 15. Options of Action 1. Recommend approval of conditional use permit amendment and variance as profK^sed, stating hardships and conditions. (One reasonable condition would be removal of the temporary banner sign). 2.
