Danville panel approves signage variance for 1 South Washington Street
Summary
A Danville Town panel approved a variance allowing a projecting sign on the north elevation and a wall sign on the east elevation of a commercial building at 1 South Washington Street; the approval was made subject to conditions and followed staff presentation and applicant testimony.
A Danville Town panel approved a variance to allow two new signs on the building at 1 South Washington Street during a public hearing, the panel announced after hearing from staff and the applicant.
Lisa, a town staff member, described the request as "a couple of signs" presented under a single petition and said the two elements could be separated into conditions if the panel preferred. John, representing Boyle Construction, said the signs are intended to match the building’s existing frontage signage and improve visibility: "So the design is consistent across the building," he said.
Commissioner (unnamed) moved to approve the petition, citing the petitioner’s proposed findings that the approval would not injure public health, safety or welfare and that strict application of the ordinance would create practical difficulties. The motion was seconded by the chair, and the panel voted to approve the variance subject to the conditions recorded at the hearing.
The approved variance covers a projecting sign on the north elevation (for a future northeast tenant) and a wall-mounted sign on the east elevation aimed at oncoming traffic. Staff and the applicant said the frontage sign already in place would remain unchanged and that the projecting sign’s lettering would be interchangeable for future tenants.
The panel’s action was recorded as an approval with conditions; the decision and the petitioner’s findings of fact will be included in the final record of the case.
