Re: Ordinance No. 69-1981
Plan Commission Case PC-81-11
Dear Mr. Mills, Members of Common Council & Mrs. Trimble:
The Richnund City Plan Commission conducted a public hearing on Tuesday,
September 22, 1981, on the petition of Dr. Gerald Ackerman; Andrew
Cecere, Agent, requesting to amend Special Use Ordinance No. 2-1980
which authorized a dental office in a R-3 One -to -Eight Family Residence
District at 1921 Chester Boulevard. The requested amendment seeks
authorization for an existing sixty (60) square foot free-standing
identification sign located approximately one (1) foot behind the
right-of-way line of Chester Boulevard. Dr. Eckermman erected the
subject free-standing sign without prior approval and unaware of the
Zoning Ordinance requirements pertaining to the size and location of
the sign. To grant Dr. Ackerman's petition as requested would require
a modification of the normal R-3 zoning district regulations regarding
signs.
Ten (10) notices of public hearing were sent to adjacent property owners
with none returned. During the public hearing, no one spoke in opposition
to or in favor of the petition.
The Plan Commission considered the following in making their determination:
1. The Counnn Council, upon recommendation of Plan Commis-
sion, has absolute authority over every aspect of a
Special Use in either approving, denying or conditionally
approving such use.
2. Captain Wogoman of the Traffic Division has inspected the
existing sign and anticipates no traffic related problems
as a result of the sign location.
3. The topography of the land and location of a state his-
torical monuanent would limit the sight distance and act
to obscure the sign if the sign were placed according to
Zoning Ordinance requirements.
Mr. Kenneth Mills, President
Members of Conuion Council
Ordinance No. 69-1981

Therefore, the Plan Commission voted six (6) to zero (0) to recommend
that Ordinance No. 69-1981 be approved with the following condition:
1. In the event the right-of-way for Chester Boulevard
should ever be further improved or widened, the
owner of the property shall move the sign at his
own expense.
Respectfully submitted,
CITY PLAN COnvaSSION
