Planning board approves third sign for Ridge Street restaurant
Summary
The Glens Falls sign review board approved a third building sign for a restaurant at 26 Ridge Street after applicants said the sign is intended to improve curb appeal and will be backlit only until closing (no later than 10 p.m.).
The Glens Falls Board of Sign Review approved a sign variance for a restaurant at 26 Ridge Street, allowing a third affixed sign on the building that will be backlit and framed in metal.
Devon, planning staff, told the board that the proposed sign counts as a third affixed sign because the building already has two window signs. "This is being considered the third sign on the building," Devon said, explaining the permit requirement that brought the applicant to the board.
Anthony Baker of Liberty Graphics and Brian Bowden of Renucci Kitchen and Barton described the proposed sign and its intent. "I think, what I would like to add is just to add some curb appeal for us," one applicant said, noting the business recently celebrated a five-year anniversary and hopes the sign will attract more customers. The design is described in the record as a metal-framed sign with white lucite that will be backlit and turned off by 10 p.m.
A member noted sightline concerns when vehicles park on the street, but other board members said the rendering and design were acceptable. A member moved to approve the sign application for the premises at 26 Ridge Street as discussed; the motion was seconded and the board voted in favor (recorded in the meeting transcript as "All in favor — Aye").
The board’s action approves the sign application as presented. No additional conditions or a roll-call tally are included in the provided transcript excerpt.
