Original Sign Background The property owners applied for and received a permit to remove a then existing pylon sign and replace it with a new monument style sign in May 2015. After the pylon sign was removed, it was discovered that the permit was issued in error;the new sign did not meet the required setback from Shoreline/Shadywood,and being a new size and shape,did not qualify as an 'in- kind' replacement. The contractor stopped work and the permit was rescinded. The original pylon sign was 43.5 square feet and 8 feet, 2 inches from grade to the top of the sign. The proposed sign is 18 feet, 2 inches tall and 36.22 sq ft. 100 sq ft is permissible. The proposed sign will be located at the property line. The original sign was approximately 2 feet setback. The proposed sign will include two brick veneer columns,the veneer will match the veneer used in the principal structure. The sign structure will include a standing seam metal roof over the sign face,which will be green and backlit. Applicable sections. The code, in section 78-1466,outlines allowances for pylon and monument signs. Pylon signs are not permissible in the B or I zoning district.
