On Tuesday May 21ST we will tentatively be holding a workshop.
POTENTIAL NEW EMC SIGN FOR EAA.
Parcel of land approximately 30.83 acres located between Interstate 41 and Poberezny Road. The
parcel is zoned Suburban Mixed Use District (SMU). The applicant is proposing to construct a
new pylon Electronic Message center (EMC) sign. In review the proposal several requirements
would require a Base Standard Modification before the project could be allowed. The property
would require a zone change to include a Planned Development Overlay. Below is an outline
of the issues related to the proposed sign.
1) Off premise adverting.
2) Would existing signs be removed?
3) Sign exceeds the maximum allowed 35' total height.
a. Applicant identifies adding 5' of soil above existing grade to increase the overall height.
b. Would not be permitted by code as maximum allowed height is defined off the existing
grade.
4) Proposed EMC exceeds the maximum allowed 100 sq. ft.
