DEPARTMENT REPORT
March 2, 2004
-Docket No. 040290~0~09~ADLS Amend.~ Nations~Rent,(M~ch~gan"Rd)
The appbcant seeks approval for s~gnage. The s~te ~s located at 10222 N. Mmlfigan Rd.
The site is zoned I-1/Industrial within the US 421/3/Iichigan Rd Overlay Zone.
Filed by Bob Jolley of Jay Sign Service.
The applicant is requesting ADLS Amendment approval of wall and ground signage. Please see
informational packet dislributed with the agenda last week.
The property is within the US 421 Overlay requiring Plan Commission approval of all signage.
The applicant is requesting three signs where the Ordinance permits one. The two additional
signs will require variance approval by the Board of Zoning Appeals. The Department will not
support a request of that nature. We ask that the applicant pick one sign for the site as is
permitted by ordinance. The Plan Commission may approve the design of all three signs and
allow the applicant to pick one to install by right but only one can be constructed without BZA
approval.
As a side note this property received ADLS approval last year to make revisions to the parking
area that included the construction of a fence and additional landscaping. At this time the
landscaping has not been installed. The Department will not issue a sign permit until that issue is
resolved.
The Department recommends that the Special Studies Committee approve the request after
all comments and concerns have been addressed.
Note: The item only requires approval by the Special Studies Committee.
