This application is initiated for the purpnse of a face
.nange on an existing pylon providi ng adequate signage for
retail tenant Savers Store that is visible to vehicular traffic.
The pylon is currently shared by the other poperty tenant, K Mart
and may fall under- new guidlines of the sign ordinance. Until
such time , the petitioner requests use of the space designated
for the secondary tenant..
The site is located near the major intersection of Garfield
and Magnolia , which accommodates numerous other retail occupants.
The surroundirq area has a high density of residential use which
benraf i is from having a 'discount store that is easily accessible.
Limited Si n Permit Re uest
Savers is located at the farthest point fr'm the
intersection,700 ft. Further, the building bras an unusually
deep setback of 314 ft.to accommodate k!-'large parking area
regrtired by code and has been landscaped with numerous trees and
shrubs which partially block th e view of the building facade.
The existing pylon sign is currently co-occupied by the
adjacent tenant, k: Mart which incurs the same circumstances as
the petitioner. K Mart's use of this pylon grants it adequate
street visible signage. Therefore, use of the available existing
sign area for the petitioner would not be construed as
inconsistent, and would not be a special privilege.
Adequate signage is a necessary accessory to trade and
granting this request is vital to this property right.
Granting of this request would not be mawrial.ly detrimental
to the public welfare. In fact, signage visible to vehicular
traffic will insure timely lane change and entrance to.the
parking lot from a highly travelled street.
