Overview
The applicant is proposing to alter an existing non-conforming freestanding
sign. The Tally Ho restaurant, located adjacent to Houles Amoco, recently
was issued an Embers franchise. The applicant is proposing to change the
face of an existing freestanding sign to Embers. The sign is non-conforming
because there is another freestanding sign on the same lot that identifies the
• Amoco station.

• The existing sign has letters across the top that spell FOOD. The proposed
alteration would remove those letters and replace them with the Embers logo
at a lower location on the sign. In order to maintain the structural integrity
of the sign, the support poles will not be changed. The new sign face will fit
within the existing poles.
The sign ordinance allows one freestanding sign per lot unless there is more
than 300 feet of road frontage. If the lot had 300 feet of frontage, they would
be allowed 2 freestanding signs and there would have to be 150 feet between
signs. The lot on which the two signs are located has 227 feet of frontage on
Highway 10. There is about 200 feet between the Amoco sign and the Tally
Ho sign.
The existing sign is 156 square feet. The proposed Embers sign will be
smaller at 80 square feet. The existing sign is 30 feet high and the proposed
Embers sign is lower at 25 feet high. The sign is setback 15 feet from the
front property line and 12 feet from the side property line. It complies with
the size, setback and height requirements.
Recommendation
• Since the sign alteration involves lowering the height of the sign and making
it smaller, and the sign complies with the setback and height requirements,
staff is recommending the Planning Commission recommend approval of the
request to alter an existing non-conforming sign to allow changing the sign
•
face from "FOOD" to "Embers" and placing the Embers logo at a lower
location on the sign.
