Property Owners List <br /> Background <br /> The applicaut on behalf of Trinity Lutheran Church is requesting approvals for the <br /> izistallation of a new monu.ment sign within their front yard along County Road 6, to <br /> include a dual-faced electronic changeab�e message board. Installation of the sign <br /> requires a conditional use permit (CUP) per Section 78-41 S{4} because the church is a <br /> canc�itional use in the RR-1B district, and requires a variance to Section 78-1467{1)c <br /> because the area.of the signage exceeds the 12 squa.re feet per surface allowed by code. <br /> The current Orono Zoning Code does not have sign stat�dards for institutional uses <br /> allowed conditionally vt�thin Residential Districts. Within Residential Distric#s a <br /> nameplate sign with a maxiinum of 12 s.£ per surface rs permitted. The new monument <br /> sign with static electronic readerboard should reduce or eliminate the need for temporaiy <br /> signage on the property. <br />
