ZBA approves series of signage requests, including Sheetz package and limits mural at East Side Lucky's
Loading...
Summary
The board approved multiple sign variances: canopy and design-element signage for a gas station, a comprehensive Sheetz signage/ground sign package (with LED strip lighting), and a sign package for East Side Lucky’s that included a reduced mural limit of 100 sq ft.
On April 8 the Zoning Board of Appeals approved several signage packages for commercial properties across Warren.
Basel Construction sought permission to refresh canopy branding at 32941 Mound Road; Sarah Misen said the canopy is outdated and needs an image refresh. The board approved two 36-inch-by-100-inch canopy signs and an 898-sq-ft design element as read into the motion.
Ed Phillips presented a sign package for the former Kelly's Sports Bar, now rebranded East Side Lucky's at 25515 Ryan Road. Board members worried the existing mural and cumulative signage were excessive; the applicant agreed to reduce the south-elevation mural from 203 sq ft to approximately 100 sq ft. The board approved the revised package with the 100-sq-ft mural limitation.
A Sheetz representative outlined a comprehensive package for a new convenience store at De Quinder and 12 Mile — including wall/canopy signs, a 20-foot ground sign placed 15 feet from right-of-way (inside the P district), pump signage and LED strip lighting under canopies and fascias. Some board members said the LED strip (classified as rope lighting) might set a precedent; others supported it as a modern, downward-washing application. The motion to approve the Sheetz package passed 6–2.
The board’s approvals included conditions to remove or consolidate prior variances on redeveloped properties where appropriate and noted that petitioners will surrender previous signage variances once new permits are in place.
