Executive Session:
lh. Board to discuss the pending litigation regarding the Oldham Variance (V-40-96).
Public Hearings:
li. Merchant's Square Center Identification Sign (V-60-96)
Petitioner seeks variances to construct a center identification sign for the proposed
Merchant's Square Mall. The sign will be located at the northwest corner of 116th Street and
Keystone Avenue. The petitioner received Architectural Design, Lighting, Landscaping, and
Signage approval for the sign at the November 19th Plan Commission meeting.
The Department feels the uniqueness of this project supports the need for high-quality,
well-maintained signage. The community will gain from the ability to utilize the community
bulletin board feature, as will the development from increased viability of the shopping center
from Keystone Avenue. Given the assurances on uniform color of the tenant store signs made by
the petitioner to the Plan Commission, the department has no objection to the variances.
