COUNTY OF CHITTENDEN
CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON
Re: Findings of Fact, application of H. Glaeser & Company, Inc. to install a 99.9 square foot wall sign
(Healthy Living), 4 Market Street.
On the 16th day of February, 1999, the South Burlington Planning Commission approved the request
of H. Glaeser & Company, Inc. under Section 4 of the South Burlington Sign Ordinance based on
the following findings:
1. This application consists of installing a 99.9 square foot wall sign (Healthy Living), at 4 Market
Street. Section 4 of the South Burlington Sign Ordinance requires sign design approval from the
Planning Commission. A rendering of the proposed sign was submitted. Also submitted was a
master signage plan for the entire 100 Dorset Street/Market Street property (pictures of signs were
provided at the meeting).
2. The proposed sign includes lettering and a logo. It will be attached to the west facade of the
building. The color will be copper and patina (copper color and blue green mixed). Letters will be
aluminum. The sign will be mounted 2 inches from the building facade.
3. The Planning Commission must find that the design complies with four (4) criteria: design
consistency, promotion of city center goals, color and texture, and suitable materials (see below).
The greenish color is consistent with the majority of signs within the PUD. Aluminum appears to be
a suitable material and the sign is attractive. A model of the sign was presented at the meeting.
4. Section 4 - Design Review Criteria:
a) Consistent Design: the design of a sign shall consider and be compatible and harmonious
with the design of buildings on the property and nearby. The design of all signs on a property
shall promote a consistency in terms of color, graphic style, lighting, location, material and
proportions.
b) Promote City Center Goals: signs shall be designed and located in a manner which
reinforces and respects the overall stated goals of the sign district and City Center Plan,
including a high aesthetic quality and pedestrian orientation.
c) Color and Texture: the color and texture of a sign shall be compatible and harmonious with
buildings on the property and nearby.
d) Materials Used: signs shall be designed and constructed of suitable materials.
