VARIANCE NO. 77-7 (NORM PULLIAM FOR LARWIN SQUARE) Application to vary with provisions of the Sign Code to erect at Larwin Square three monument signs for three separate businesses, each under 5,000 square feet; a directional sign for the Center; and a reader board for the future Von's Market. Dr. Flea~le summarized his staff report and responded to questions from members of the Agency. The public portion of the hearing was opened at 7:42 p.m. There being no co~ents or objections, the public portion of the hear- ing was closed. Following discussion of the three monument signs, it was moved by Schuster, seconded by Edgar, that monument sigqi~g for the three detached structures on New]port Avenue frontage be approved based on nominal deviation from the building size requirements of the Sign Ordinance and a character of occupancy that neces- sitates identity from ~ ma3or street. Carried by 4-1 vote, Chairman Sharp voting no. Mr. Sharp explained that he voted against the motion on the basis that the three businesses fronting Newport Avenue are completely visible from the roadway and are already permitted wall signs, and thus he could find no evidence of hardship. Following discussion of the reader board sign for the future Von's Market, it was moved by Saltarelli, seconded by Edgar that the 56-square-foot reader board sign for the market be approved, based on its orientation toward the interior of the shopping center, the absence of adverse impact upon the aesthetics of the area, and the hardship created by the location and design of the center that precludes merchandizing of featured items. Carried unanimously. Following discussion of the directional sign for the center, it was moved by Saltarelli, seconded by Schuster, that the directional sign be approved, based on its aesthetic appearance and its pur- pose in providin~ identification and direction to the businesses within the complex that are obscured by other developments on the site.
