Landmarks Commission approves branded wall logo sign for 80 West Waterloo Street
Summary
The Canal Winchester Landmarks Commission approved a 24-inch aluminum logo sign for Carmen Orthodontics on the front portico gable at 80 West Waterloo Street, requiring the property’s address numbers be relocated to the header above the front door.
The Canal Winchester Landmarks Commission on May 26 approved a Certificate of Appropriateness for a 24-inch aluminum logo sign to be installed on the front portico gable of 80 West Waterloo Street, the commission heard. The applicant was represented by Jim McFarland of Zoning Resources.
Commissioners discussed placement and existing signage. Chairman Pete Lynch suggested relocating the street numbers to a header above the front door to preserve visibility; Mr. McFarland said he would prefer the numbers to be removed but would accept moving them “to the top of the door or either side of the door.” Commissioner Carol DeGrosso confirmed the new gable logo will match the property’s existing monument sign but will be black to contrast with the building color.
Staff noted the new gable logo would bring the property to the maximum allotted signage amount but said content cannot be regulated, only quantity. Commissioners agreed the logo is modest and would not compete with wayfinding signs; the Commission approved the certificate with one condition: the address numbers be relocated to the header above the front door.
The motion was made by Pete Lynch and seconded by David Craycraft; the vote was 7–0 in favor (David Craycraft, Carol DeGrosso, Rich Dobda, Pete Lynch, Patrick Lynch, Whit Wardell and Roger White).
