Subject: RE. Walgreens sign plan revisions
Hi Kevin,
Thanks for sending these revisions over. It's safe to say we can support the following three variance requests:
1. Number of signs—3 requested, 2 allowed
2. Spandrel Panel Height—Greater than 70% requested
3. Signs not facing a ROW— North: 1 requested, 0 allowed
Here is the breakdown of sizes, percentages,variances and Dept. support:
1. South Wall sign: 83.56 sq. ft.
a. 97.6% H
b. 91.96%W
c. Variance required for Spandrel Panel height.
d. The width is allowed in this instance to go up to 95%allowed due to the smaller wall area available for
the signage. See 25.07.02-03 c) 4. b. (however,4 should be 5—there was a typo in the ordinance.)
2. Please provide more details (size, lighting, installation, etc.) on the Drive Thru and Exit signs on the canopy on
the west elevation of the building. These signs must be 3 sq.ft.or less in order to be considered exempt.
3. North Awning sign: 10.79 sq.ft.
a. 73.75% H
b. 39%W
c. Variance required for Spandrel Panel height and for sign not facing a ROW.
d. The Dept. is in support of this awning sign.
4. East Wall sign: 83.56 sq.ft.
a. 97.6% H
b. 37.3%W
c. Variance required for Spandrel Panel height.
d. The Dept. is in support of this wall sign.
45. East Awning sign: 10.79 sq.ft.
a. 73.75%H
b. 26%W
c. Variance required for Spandrel Panel height.
d. Can allow the awning sie on the east without variance(for two signs facing one ROW) because the
overall allowable square footage for the east is 136.52 sq.ft.The main wall sign is 83.56 sq.ft.+the
awning sign 10.79 sq. ft. =94.35 sq. ft.This is 42.107 sq.ft. less than the total allowed for this facade.
e. Also do not have to consider this an extra sign, because it fits the size allowed for the east elevation
(25.07.02-03 c) 1. a.)
f. The Dept. is in support of this awning sign.
We'll look for the updated variance application and work to get you on the November 25 docket for Hearing Officer.
Thanks,
Rachel

Hi Kevin,
The notice deadline for the November 25th BZA Hearing Officer meeting is November 15th, which is 10 days prior. Here is
a link to the BZA calendar. Packets and fees are also due November 15tH
Also, once you have the final decision for the signs and the variances, please submit a revised variance application with
revised drawings. From that point I can issue you a docket number and continue the variance process.
Thanks,
Alexia

Rachel:
I'm not certain how quickly decisions will be made on this. Can you tell me the notice deadline and Hearing Officer
meeting dates for November? I want to be on the ready if that is our client's decision.
Thanks.
