Sign Approval with Building Permit Request from June 2003 <br /> C. Resolution No. 4890 and Sheet E1.1 Exterior Elevations (Sign Elevations) <br /> D. Business District Sign Code Regulations—City Code Section 78-1468 <br /> Summary: <br /> McCarthy Construction has requested a sign permit for the dental office at 2765 Kelley Parkway to <br /> allow a larger sign than was previously approved. <br /> In November 2002 Council approved the Development Agreement which referred to sign plans <br /> iiidicating a two-faced monument sign 13'4"wide and 12'high,with 68 s.f.of signage per face,each <br /> sign face being 8' wide and 8'6"high. <br /> The plans submitted for the building permit in June 2003 indicated a sign 13' wide but 12'8"high. <br /> Staff accepted this because the magnitude of the change was minor and the square footage of signage <br /> remained at 68 s.f. per face, 8' wide and 8'6"high. <br /> The current signage request now has the sign 13' wide but 13'8"high,rnore than 1-1/2 feet higher <br /> than originally approved. The faces are now 7'2" wide by 10' high, or a total square footage of <br /> 71.25 s.f. per face. The added height is of greater concern to staff than the minor addition of square <br /> footage to the faces. <br /> One apparent reason for the added height is that the individual pillazs were not built according to the <br /> plan;they are each slightly larger in girth,reducing the width available for signage to 7'2"rather than <br /> 8'. The added height proposed apparently makes up for this loss of width. <br /> A reason for the added height cited by the applicant is that the owners want the sign to be visible <br /> over the berm at the corner. <br /> The underside of the eaves of the building are at a height of 12' above grade. The 13'8" height <br /> raises the top of the sign to a level about even with the top of the facia. <br />
