GABRIEL HANDY - SIGN ORDINANCE APPEAL
Gabriel Handy is appealing the Code Officer's interpretation of
Sections 8 and 22 of the sign ordinance as it relates to the
appellant's free-standing sign located at 1016 Shelburne Road.
On 7/29/97 the appellant was issued a sign permit ( see enclosed) to
alter a 110 square foot sign for a motel and restaurant. The
restaurant tenant was changing so the restaurant portion of the
sign was being altered to change the name of the restaurant. The
Code Officer required that the sign be reduced in size as required
under Section 22(d)(1) of the sign ordinance. The appellant
reluctantly agreed to reduce the sign by 18 square feet bringing
the sign size down to 92 square feet. The applicant is now
appealing the Code Officer's requirement to reduce the sign by 18
square feet. It is the appellant's position that since the use did
not change, a sign permit was not required so the size of the sign
was not required to be reduced.
Section 22(a) of the sign ordinance states that "except as provided
below, every sign lawfully in existence on the date of adoption of
4
Memorandum - Planning Commission
September 23, 1997 agenda items
September 19, 1997
Page 5
this Ordinance shall not be altered, including character or color
alteration, or moved unless it be made to comply with the
provisions of this Ordinance" (emphasis added). Section 22(d)(1)
of the sign ordinance requires that a nonconforming sign may be
altered provided that it is reduced in size and or height by at
least 25%. It is clear to staff that changing the name of the
restaurant was a change in character and/or color necessitating a
reduction in the size of the sign.
This sign was originally approved at 182 square feet in 1970 and is
now 92 square feet. This is a 50.5% reduction in size. A detailed
history of this sign is enclosed for your review.
Section 29(a) of the sign ordinance states that "in deciding such
appeals, the Planning Commission may not grant variances,
exemption, extra -ordinary relief or otherwise alter, amend, enlarge
or modify the provisions of the Ordinance, it being the intent of
this section to merely provide for appeals from the decisions of
the Code Officer and not to provide for variances or exceptions
hereto." Basically, the Commission can only decide whether or not
the Code Officer properly interpreted the sign ordinance.
It is staff's opinion that the sign ordinance was properly
interpreted by the Code Officer.

Re: Sign Appeal of Gabe Handy, 1016 Shelburne Road
Date: September 16, 1997
Effective February 6, 1995 any sign lawfully in existence on the
date of adoption of this ordinance which is nonconforming as to
size and or height may be altered, provide the size and/or height
of the sign is reduced by at least 25 percent. (Section 22 Non-
conforming Signs sub section D).
History of sign in question:
June 17, 1970 - Redwood Motel granted permission to erect
a pylon sign containing one hundred eighty two (182)
square feet (variance by ZBA).
July 1, 1970 - Redwood Motel granted permission to erect a
pylon sign (182 square feet) at a height of twenty-five
(25) feet.
April 29, 1994 - Super 8 Motel and Chaz granted permission
to alter sign, sign reduced to one hundred and four (104)
square feet.
May 19, 1995 - The Redwood Cafe granted permission to
alter sign, sign reduced from 50 square feet to 38 square
feet. Alteration did not change Super 8 Motel sign.
July 29, 1997- Old Heidelberg German Restaurant granted
permission to alter sign, sign reduced with the removal of
a 18 square foot reader board.
A review of permits issued to Mr. Gabe Handy indicated that the
reader board sign in question was erected without permit.
Presently the Sign regulations allows a pylon sign at a maximum
of forty (40) square feet and maximum height of fifteen (15)
feet.
The sign in question contains ninety two (92) square feet and a
height of approximately twenty-five (25) feet.

Re: Alterations of Your Pylon Sign
Dear Mr. Handy:
ZONING ADMINISTRATOR
658-7958
This letter will confirm our conversation on Thursday, July 24,
1997 regarding your proposal to alter your existing free standing
sign.
Section 22 sub section (d) of the South Burlington Sign
Regulations provides that alterations of a non -conforming sign
requires a reduction of the sign by 25 percent of its size. It
is my understanding that your free standing sign contains one
hundred (100) square feet. Since you are proposing to alter the
restaurant portion of the sign, that portion must be reduced.
Any alterations to the sign in question without a permit would be
in direct violation and would be subject to a fifty (50) dollar
fine. Fines would be increased to a maximum of five hundred
(500) dollars.
If you have any questions pertaining to this letter, please don't
hesitate to call me.
Very truly,
4 �.-

I am writing to you to appeal the interpretation of the zoning administrator regarding
my sign for the Super 8 Motel at 1016 Shelburne Road. Recently a new tenant, the Old
Heidelberg Restaurant wanted to re -letter the smaller sign beneath my Super 8 sign, and the
zoning administrator included both signs in calculating the 25% reduction. I lost my 20 foot
readers board also as a result. Because these are two separate entities , I do not feel that my
Super 8 sign shouldn't have been used in the calculation.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely yours,
