Board conditionally approves signage for 1053 West Main, requires 7% wall coverage
Summary
The planning and zoning commission recommended approval of requested signage at 1053 West Main, but commissioners found the initial submission exceeded code; the village board approved the sign only if the applicant reduces wall signage to the 7% coverage allowed by code before permit issuance.
The Sleepy Hollow village board approved requested signage for 1053 West Main Street on the condition that the applicant meet the village’s 7% wall-sign coverage limit. Planning and Zoning Commissioner Barb told the board that the commission recommended approval subject to the 7% limit after discovering the applicant’s submitted measurements exceeded the code standard (reported at roughly 13.449% coverage).
Barb said she had received corrected measurements and asked the board to require compliance as a permit condition; she noted the monument sign was acceptable but the wall sign required resizing. Trustees discussed the practical enforcement mechanism and the likelihood that the applicant would reduce sign size, and the president confirmed that a permit would not be issued until the sign meets the 7% requirement.
A motion to approve the signs as requested—conditioned on compliance with the 7% coverage—was made, seconded and approved in roll-call/voice votes with no recorded opposition.
