Case No. 255-3790V - Commander's Restaurant
Bobbie Perry, Agent
Requesting variance from the Sign Ordinance to allow a projecting
sign of 20 sq. ft. and approximately 20 ft. overall height (to
match the roof peak).
Location: 706 N. Division Street
Mr. Waldock reported this was discussed at a previous hearing on site
plan review. A variance was determined to be necessary for the
projecting sign on the east building wall of the Commander Restaurant
site. The sign is 20 sq. ft. in area which is 8 sq. ft. beyond the
maximum allowed for projecting signs. Further the sign is planned
at a height of 20 ft. approximately. This would be a variance per
height above the 13 ft. maximum height level for a projecting sign.
Hardship in this case relates to the small lot area and the unusual
building layout. The restaurant is a retrofit to a residential
structure converting it into a restaurant. This is determined by
the Village to be a positive and beneficial reuse of an existing
house in a commercial area and therefore is not considered to be
a self-imposed hardship.
The finding of staff is that a variance, if granted, would not be
detrimental to this particular property or to neighboring sites,, and
a variance, if granted, would not result in hazardous conditions
since the sign would not extend beyond the furthest building wa11,
and hardship in this. case relates to the small lot area making the
ground signage ineffective. For these reasons staff recommends
approval of the variances from height and area requirements for
projecting signs to allow Commander's Restaurant to install a 20 sq. ft.
projecting sign at a height no greater than the highest roof peak
for the structure.
A short discussion followed, as this was discussed at a previous
hearing.
