NATURE OF PROPOSED WORK:
ERECT NON-ILLUM PROJECTING SIGN-CUP AND TOP CAFE
HARDSHIP:
CONDITION OF APPROVAL:
FINDINGS:
The Board of Appeals approved the special permit allowing more than the number of signs allowed by right based on the information
submitted in the application. The Board granted the permit based upon finding that:
(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 additional projecting sign of 34"x12"is a modest way to notify the
public of the business given the curvature in the building and the road that obscures the front wall sign from some vantage points.
(3) The Board of Appeals specified that the sign allowed is spelled out in the application.
