SWEARING IN OF WITNESSES
PUBLIC HEARING
1) File 731-BA: Consider a request for a Variance to the minimum setback for a detached sign
from 10 feet to 0 feet.
Applicant: Image Solutions Sign Company
Location: 5405 Walden Road
Mrs. Josey presented the staff report.
Image Solutions Sign Company is requesting a Variance to the setback requirement for a sign
located at 5405 Walden Road. An existing grandfathered sign will be removed and a new sign
is proposed to be constructed at the property line. A grandfathered sign may be refaced, but if
the support is removed, the ordinance requires a new sign be built in compliance with existing
regulations. The grandfathered sign is located near the property line and the leading edge of
the new sign will be located at the property line. According to the applicant, any other location
for the sign would create safety issues.
The applicant shall have the burden of proof to demonstrate that all three conditions necessary
for approval have been met.
