Page 1 of 19 STAFF REPORT BOARD OF APPEALS MAY 11TH, 2022 ITEM I: 175 E COUNTY ROAD Y GENERAL DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND Joseph Noll-applicant/Church of Christ of Oshkosh Inc.-owner, requests the following variance to permit an illuminated monument sign in the minimum front yard setback: Description Code Section Reference Minimum Proposed Front Setback 30-50 (G) 30’ 14’ The subject 4.67 acre (approximately 203,425 square feet) property is zoned Institutional and is currently developed with a church built in 1991 (approximately 10,750 square feet in area), a nonresidential accessory building (approximately 600 square feet in area) and associated off-street parking facilities in the rear (south) yard. Vehicular access is provided via one 30’ wide curb cut located northwest of the principal structure. The rectangular-shaped parcel is located mid-block on the south side of County Road Y. Adjacent land uses include residential in all directions except east, which is Winnebago County Public Park. ANALYSIS In reviewing a variance request, the following questions should be addressed When considering an area variance, the question of whether unnecessary hardship or practical difficulty exists is best explained as "whether compliance with the strict letter of the restrictions governing area, set backs, frontage, height, bulk or density would unreasonably prevent the owner from using the property for a permitted purpose or would render conformity with such restrictions unnecessarily burdensome." Are there any unusual or unique physical limitations of the property which create a hardship? Will granting of a variance result in harm to the public interest? The petitioners are proposing to construct one new freestanding internally illuminated monument sign for church identification purposes. The existing freestanding externally illuminated monument sign located in the vicinity would be removed (see attached renderings and site plan). The current sign is nonconforming for setback purposes at 7’. Once the existing sign is removed the nonconformity is removed and a new sign needs to meet setback or obtain a variance. The new sign is double-sided and 7’ wide by 7’ in overall height. It is proposed to be located mid-parcel along County Road Y north of the church. The required setback is 30’ in this district and a variance is requested to place the new sign at 14’. The parcel was impacted when County Road Y was reconstructed circa 2010 and improved with public infrastructure. As the below aerial photos (one from 2009 pre- improvements & one from 2020 post-improvements) demonstrate the land acquisition Page 2 of 19 (i.e. 7’ was acquired) reduced the setback of the sign from the north property line and created unique physical limitations. Therefore the hardship in this instance is the direct result of a situation outside of the petitioner’s control and the setback restriction is unnecessarily burdensome. If the proposed sign was required to meet setback in this instance it would be placed behind the front plane of the church making it unreadable for motorists. The sign is an important wayfinding instrument for visitors to the site and reducing the setback will not create any harm to the public interest as it is not located in any vision triangles. Finally, both the Department of Public Works, as well as the Inspection Services Division have reviewed the proposed sign and its location and have no objections or further recommendations. RECOMMENDATION Based on the information provided within this report, approval of the variance as requested is recommended.
