DEPARTMENT REPORT
S'eptember 9, 2004
9. Docket No. 04080019 ADLS Amend: Merchants' Square - Wendy's
The applicant 'seeks approval for'a ground sign. The site, is located northwest of Keystone
and 11 6th Street. The site is zoned B-8/Business.
Filed by Charles Eitel of National Install, Ltd. for Wendy's.
The applicant is .requesting ADLS Amendment approval of a sign. Please see informational
packet distributed with the agenda. There are currently wall signs on the building that meet or
exceed that allowed by ordinance in number. The proposed ground sign would require variance
approval by 'the :Board of Zoning Appeals. The Department will only support the needed variance
subject to the removal of one of the existing buil.ding signs. This is not a question of inadequate
signage. This is a 'question of preference as to ~ign type.
The Department requests that the applicant provide a sign rendering similar in design to the other
ground signs in th,e area (Merchants Square and Merchants Pointe, see enclosed rendering). The
Hardee's sign, as seen in the applicant's information will be replaced by a sign similar in design
to the Merchants signs under a previous approval. . They were waiting for the end of the road
construction proj ect to make the change.
The Department recommends that the Special Studies Committee approve the request after
all comments and concerns have been addressed.
Note: The item would also require 'approval by the Board of Zoning Appeals.
