CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION NO. 69-62
Applicant: Leonard D. Sova
To permit a free-standing pole sign
with a height of 58 ft. in lieu of the required 50 ft. height
limit in the C4 Highway Commercial District. Located north
of Ellis Ave., west of Beach Blvd. A legal description is
on file in the Planning Department Office.
The hearing was opened to the audience.
Mr. Sova and Jack Lloyd addressed the
Board and answered various questions.
It was noted by the Secretary that
when the sign was originally constructed it was approximately
68 ft. in height. Heath Sign Co. requested permission to allow
the sign to remain at its present height. This application was
denied by the Board of Zoning Adjustments, Planning Commission
and the City Council.
It was the consensus of the Board that
approval at this time would be contrary to the desires of the
Planning Commission and the City Council. Also that it would
be setting a precedent.
There being no further comment, the
hearing was closed.
Board discussion followed.
A MOTION WAS MADE BY GERARDEN AND
SECONDED BY LOVEJOY TO DENY CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION NO. 69-62
FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:
1. The applicant has not demonstrated a hardship.
2. Approval of the request could set a precedent for future
requests.
3. The request is not in line with the newly adopted sign
ordinance.
4. Approval will be inconsistant with past decisions of the
Board of Zoning Adjustments, Planning Commission and City
Council.

mately 200 ft. east of Van Dyke Lane. Legally described as

AND FOR THE REASONS:
1. This structure was built 5 years ago at which time the
Code allowed 110" side and rear yard setbacks and enforce-
ment at that time was not stringent for this type of
structure.
2. If there has not been a problem over the past 5 years
from the neighborhood, it appears reasonable that this
request should be granted for a limited period of time.

questing that this use permit be referred to the Planning
Commission.
The hearing was opened to
the audience.
Mr. Lauderback and Mr.
Blumberg, representing the applicant, addressed the Board
and answered various questions. They expressed concern
over the possible delay and indicated that any great delay
could possibly mean that construction of the shopping center
would not proceed.
There being no further com-
ment, the hearing was closed.
A MOTION WAS MADE BY HARLOW
AND SECONDED BY GERARDEN TO CONTINUE USE PERMIT NO. 69-45 TO
AUGUST 20, 1969, TO ALLOW TIME FOR THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT TO
