ZBA REFERRALS:

Z-10-18 – Lyons National Bank – 359 Route 31 – Area Variance – Sections 135-190-C & E – Size of sign – Board reviewed this request for a replacement pylon/monument sign. New sign would be larger than previous sign & contain a digital element. Digital component will not flash or run. New sign would also eliminate need for temporary signs and banners.

Board recommended approval with consideration to the following conditions: (1) Digital message should remain constant for a period of at least 24 hours; (2) Digital message should be one consistent color; (3) No temporary banners on the property; and, (4) Size of proposed sign appears too large for the site and size of the building. Gross size of the proposed sign should be in line with the existing sign.

Z-09-18 – Dunning – 1073 Wilson Road – Area Variance – Section 235-61-D-1 – Livestock (chickens) on lot less than 5 acres – Board recommended denial of this variance.
