Signage Exceptions

More signage news from around the world from Hants and Dorset Signs as in Yorkville, c alling it a "pro-business" stance, aldermen this week approved variances for signs for two businesses. In both cases, the City Council voted 6-2 to allow the signs that did not conform to the city's sign ordinance. The city's Zoning Board of Appeals had turned down both variance requests before they were appealed to the council.

One variance was for Esmer Capital Management, 1201 N. Bridge St., to allow a 32-square-foot electronic sign onto a 20-foot tall sign the company already has.

The other variance was for Yorkville Hospitality, which is building a Hampton Inn at 310 E. Countryside Parkway and due to open in about a month. The company asked for a monument sign 13 feet high. City ordinance limits those to 8 feet above the roadway.

In the case of Esmer Capital Management, 56 surrounding property owners were notified of the variance request, and only one of them came to the Zoning Board of Appeals. And he supported the variance request.

Property owner Mark Johnson even came to the council meeting to voice his support for the sign.
