S.T.U.D.Y.S. Ministries requests LED sign relief; board asks staff to study corridor-wide approach
Summary
S.T.U.D.Y.S. Ministries requested an exception to Village Code to install an LED sign at 656 Bridgeport Terrace; the board did not approve relief but asked staff to contact corridor property owners and review the ordinance and peer-community practices.
At the Feb. 10 meeting S.T.U.D.Y.S. Ministries, owner of the westernmost in-line retail unit at Waterford Commons (656 Bridgeport Terrace), requested relief from the Village Code’s area, zoning district and distance requirements to install an LED sign.
After discussion, the board did not grant a variance at the meeting. Instead, members directed staff to contact all property owners along that corridor to inquire whether there would be interest in a single comprehensive sign instead of multiple individual signs. The board also requested a review of the current signage ordinance and research on how comparable communities regulate LED and freestanding corridor signage.
The minutes do not record a motion to approve the specific relief request; rather, the action taken was a direction to staff to pursue outreach and ordinance research so the board can consider options at a future meeting.
