NATURE OF PROPOSED WORK:
Mount bank sign on rear of building
HARDSHIP:
CONDITION OF APPROVAL:
FINDINGS:
The Zoning Board granted the special permit for the rear wall sign more than 10' above grade based upon the plans submitted with the
application. The ZBA found:
(1) Signs are located only where they are otherwise permitted in the district; and
(2) The Board of Appeals determined that the architecture of the building, the location of the building or the land or nature of the use
being made of the building or land is such that additional signs or signs of a larger size would not detract from the character of the
neighborhood and should be permitted in the public interest. The applicant indicated that the main entrance to the bank is on the rear and
the arched window did not permit a sign to be located within 10' of the finished grade.
(3) The Board of Appeals specifies in the permit the exact sign permitted, the size and location of the sign or signs, and, if applicable,
imposes other restrictions. Any change in said signs requires a new or revised special permit unless the special permit specifies what
types of changes are allowed.
