Sheldon board approves protruding sign for Axes & Irons at 203 9th Street
Summary
The planning board approved a protruding/attached sign for a new business, Axes & Irons, at 203 9th Street. The applicant described a 3x3 circular sign front and rear and said the venue will offer axe throwing, a golf simulator and alcohol to patrons 21 and older.
The Sheldon City Planning & Zoning Board voted to grant a permit/variance for a protruding sign for a new business at 203 9th Street, allowing applicant Mike (recorded in the transcript as Mike Overly) to attach signage to an existing pole.
Mike described the business as "Axes and Irons," saying the venue will include axe throwing and a golf simulator and that the business has insurance for patrons age 12 and older and will serve alcohol for adults: "we're going to be throwing axes ... we also have a golf simulator ... we have insurance approved for 12 and older ... and we will have alcohol there." He said the rear and front signs would be a roughly 3x3 circular design.
Board members examined whether the proposed sign would exceed local sign-size norms; staff referenced the sign code and the city’s prior decisions. After brief discussion the board moved to approve the application and took a roll call; the motion carried, and the applicant was told to proceed with permitting steps.
The board noted safety and structural integrity concerns for mounted signs and discussed precedent from prior exceptions, but approved the current application as presented.
