The application for a free-standing "Daewoo' sign has been rejected, as there is an existing free-standing "Chrysler" sign located on the lot. Section 8(b)(1) of the Sign Ordinance prohibits more than one free-standing sign per lot: "Except as provided in Section 23(e) hereof and below there shall not be more than one freestanding sign for each separate lot, regardless of how many businesses or commercial entities are located on such lot." Section 23(e) refers to the requirement for a master signage plan for planned unit developments and is therefore not applicable to your property at 1485 Shelburne Road. Please find enclosed a copy of the relevant sections of the Sign Ordinance and a copy of the denied sign permit application for your records. Please feel free to call with any questions you may have. Sincerely, Sarah MacCallum, Planning & Zoning Assistant Enclosures
