(V) 13250 Hazel Dell Ground Sign.
The applicant seeks the following development standards variance approval:
1. Docket No. 19060004 V UDO Section 5.39.I.5.b.i Min.5-ft setback from street right of way allowed; O-
ft requested. The site is located at 13250 Hazel Dell Pkwy. It is zoned B3Business and SFHA/Special Flood
Hazard Area. It is Lot 5 of Hazel Dell Corner Subdivision. Filed by Doug Staley,Jr. of Staley Signs,Inc.,on
behalf of GA HC REIT II Hazel Dell MOB LLC,owners.
Petitioner: Doug Staley,Jr.:
• The owner of the medial office building seeking a new ground sign with 0' setback
• A brick monument,with signs on both sides of it,that will identify up to four tenants
• The brick will tie into the architecture of the existing building
• The sign will illuminate externally. It does not have an internal light source.
• There are mature trees that block the view of the building,thus the need for the ground monumental sign
• The existing utility easements creates a challenge for the sign location
• It will be placed right at the edge of the ROW so the trees don't block the visibility
• The Consent to Encroach application has been filed with the Engineering Department
Public Comments:
Jutta Hoellein,lives in Delaware Commons: How large is the sign going to be? I believe you don't need a sign. People
can find the building as it is. I don't want to start seeing larger signs appearing all along Hazel Dell Pkwy. It's not
necessary.
Rebuttal Comment: Doug Staley,Jr.:
• The sign meets the allowable square footage. It's very similar. It is a little bit taller,but not as wide.
• The sign will be moved to the north. The new location of the entrance is presenting the problem with the trees.
• There's no variance needed for the size of the sign
IDepartment Report: Angie Conn:
• There's a platted greenbelt area and a drainage utility easement where the sign is going to be placed
• We would like a condition of approval of the consent to encroach agreement
• We recommend positive consideration of this variance
