Z-01-10 – Lakeland Equipment – 185 Route 31F – Area Variance – Sections 135-190-A, C, E – Number & size of signs – After reviewing the proposal and options, the Board recommended a reduction to version “C” for the pylon sign (20 ft. height/64.4 sq. ft.) instead of version “B” as requested (25 ft. height/95 sq. ft.), eliminating the need for a height variance and reducing the total square footage variance.
