Board approves sign‑size variance for Ace Lighting Services at Maslin Road
Summary
The City of Green Board of Zoning Appeals approved a variance allowing additional signage for Ace Lighting Services at 3701 Maslin Road after staff said the applicant’s standard sign package exceeds the code’s permitted 82 square feet; transcript contains differing numeric figures recited during the motion.
The City of Green Board of Zoning Appeals voted on Oct. 16, 2025 to approve a sign‑size variance for Ace Lighting Services at 3701 Maslin Road, allowing additional signage beyond the code’s standard allowance.
Scott Brown, an employee of Ace Lighting Services, told the board that the proposal would add three cabinet signs on the building’s north elevation near the roundabout and described the plan as “pretty much their standard sign package.” The city inspector explained that permitted sign area is based on a 35‑foot building frontage and a secondary frontage allowance and said the available sign area for the building is 82 square feet. “Their standard sign package is in excess of that by 24.55 feet,” the inspector said.
Chair (S1) opened the single agenda item, citing GCO chapter 157 (planning and development code), and after testimony the board member (S4) moved to approve a variance. Clerk (S2) seconded the motion. On the roll call the board recorded “Yes” votes for Mr. Schultz, Mr. Spate, Miss Newbert and Mr. Oledalla, and the chair announced the motion had passed; the applicant was told he may proceed with the project.
The transcript includes differing numeric figures: the inspector and applicant referenced an excess of 24.55 square feet over the 82‑square‑foot allowance, while the motion as recited on the record referenced a 56.31 square‑foot total variance and 139.11 square feet of signage where 82.8 is the maximum allowed. The article reports both the staff/applicant calculation (82 square feet permitted; 24.55 square feet in excess) and the motion language as recorded in the meeting because the transcript contains both sets of numbers.
The board also approved meeting minutes for Aug. 21 and Sept. 18 and adjourned; the next meeting was announced for Nov. 20.
The record: Scott Brown (S5) provided the applicant testimony; the city inspector (S6) presented staff calculations; the motion to approve was made by a board member (S4) and seconded by the clerk (S2). The transcript does not record every member’s individual spoken vote beyond the names called on the roll; the board announced the variance passed.
