Nancy Graham – CCDC - absent
Captain C. Bell - absent
Starbucks Sign – Kathryn Willett
Wall signs are not supposed to be above 12 feet from the ground. Starbucks is requesting a variance to allow the sign to be 14 feet above ground. After the applicant’s presentation, public comment and discussion, the GGHPC supports the applicant’s request for variance as to the proposed sign’s height. In supporting the variance the GGHPC notes the following significant facts:
- The applicant cooperated with the Land Use sub-committee in developing a sign consistent with the spirit of the community plan.
- The height of the sign while exceeding the height limit, is sufficiently proportionate to the height of the building.
- the historical nature of the building’s architecture, which the GGHPC supports and encourages, is such that the sign must be placed in a location exceeding the height limit
A vote was taken and was 15 in favor and 1 opposed.
