Planning commission approves replacement monument sign for CareMet Absurant Falls
Summary
At its May 14 meeting, the South Russell Village Planning Commission approved a replacement monument sign for CareMet Absurant Falls at 536 East Washington Street after hearing from the applicant that the new double‑sided non-illuminated sign will meet square-foot limits and will be located to conform to setback requirements once an updated survey is provided.
The South Russell Village Planning Commission on May 14 approved a replacement monument sign for CareMet Absurant Falls at 536 East Washington Street.
Chair introduced the case as PC 2604 and identified the applicant and property owner as "miss Marie Cibileta of Sinerama" and "Conrad Griffin of Greek Sycamore LLC," respectively. The presenter described the proposal as removing the existing monument sign and replacing it with a new, double-sided, non‑illuminated tenant panel plus one door panel. "So they are looking to remove the existing monument sign that is there now and replace it with the new tenant's name with, an HDU non illuminated, double sided panel, and then 1 panel on the door," the presenter said.
The commission questioned dimensions and setback conformity. The presenter and commissioners noted conflicting measurements in the submitted materials; the transcript records the existing sign listed as "36 by 72" and the proposed as "68 by 72" in the draft, and the presenter said a surveyor would update landline/site-plan data to confirm exact placement. Commissioners discussed whether the sign would remain nonconforming or be moved to conform. One commissioner summarized that the applicant agreed to place the sign "where it's supposed to be," which would resolve the setback concern.
Members also reviewed color and square‑foot considerations and agreed the proposed color scheme and area appeared within allowable limits. After discussion the chair called for a motion; the commission voted to approve the sign. The roll call following the motion recorded affirmative votes from members listed in the transcript as Leslie, Lisa (recorded in the minutes as "Lisa Bootup"), Greg (recorded as "Greg Groon"), Sophie, Dallas Moreno and Greg (recorded as "Greg Caprock"). The transcript records each of those members saying "Yes." The commission closed the item and moved to new business.
The approval is recorded in the planning commission minutes. Staff noted they are awaiting an updated site plan from a surveyor to show the sign's final placement and land‑line measurements before issuing permits.
