Dear Mr. Viland:
Re: Sign Variance
Dear Mr. Viland,

Enclosed please find a planning application form, the standards for a sign variance,
and section 34-140.3c and d regarding signs for multiple family dwellings and for
public and semi-public uses. Our records indicate that a permit for a 36 sq. ft.
freestanding sign was issued in 1969. We have no record of any other signs being
approved. So, if you have a larger sign at present for the nursing home, it is
probably either a violation or a nonconforming sign which would have to come down if
a new freestanding sign were approved for the property..
Signery for the apartment building is limited, so far as I can discern, to a single
wall sign not exceeding 10 sq. ft. in area. Since Maranatha Place is a single
building and not a cluster establishment, no signs are permitted at the entrance to
the site and no other freestanding signs are acknowledged.
As I indicated to you on the phone, signs shown on the site and building plans are
excluded from City Council approval of the development plans. (See condition No. 6
of the City Council action approving the application, also enclosed). Therefore,
any signs shown on those plans are not approved.
If you wish to seek a variance from the Sign Ordinance, you must submit written
arguments addressing the three standards outlined in section 34-180. These
written arguments, a completed planning application form, and a fee of $50.00 must
be submitted at least two weeks prior to a regularly scheduled Planning Commission
meeting. (A 1988 meeting scheduled is also enclosed.) If you have any questions
regarding the Sign Ordinance or the variance standards, please contact me at this
office.
Sincerely,
Gary Shallcross
Planner
