4. Minor Sign Exception: Papo’s 2, LLC
Papo’s 2, LLC. is seeking a minor sign exception to increase the monument sign height from 10 feet to 14 feet. The sign is proposed for a car wash under development at the northeast corner of Hunt Club Road and Washington Street.
Mr. Ziegler introduced the item, and indicated that Mr. Joe Stone from Papo’s Car Wash is present to answer any questions the Board may have. The Board’s ability to make final decision on this Minor Sign Exception was noted.
Mr. Sula stated that what is being asked for is obvious, since the site was cleared it’s easy to see that the site is substantially lower that the adjacent roadways. The sign is the exact same, but the base of the sign is increasing by 4 feet to address the grade different. He asked if there were any questions/comments from the Board. He stated that if not a motion would be in order.
Mr. Nordentoft motioned, seconded by Ms. Riley, to approve the Minor Sign Exception to increase the monument sign height from 10 feet to 14 feet, as submitted.
