Commission approves Spring Hill Villas entry sign; HOA to maintain landscaping
Summary
The commission approved a masonry entry sign for Spring Hill Villas with low‑voltage uplighting, conditioned on a site setback verification prior to installation; staff and design review recommended approval and noted the HOA will maintain the planting.
Kevin Rice, representing Greenland Trust Development, presented a masonry entry sign for Spring Hill Villas at the southeast corner of Windsor Lane and Southwood Drive. Rice described the sign as a CMU masonry unit with cultured veneer stone, rough‑sawn timber and powder‑coated steel strapping; landscaping would include dogwoods, evergreens and ornamental grasses and would be maintained by the homeowners association. "The planting around the sign is shown with some dogwoods, some evergreens, some seasonal color," Rice said.
Staff said the sign face is about 34–39 square feet, design review recommended approval and the HOA documents have been submitted. Staff asked that a sign permit be issued and that the sign location be stake‑verified on site prior to installation to confirm setbacks and sightlines. The staff report noted the parcel where the sign sits is part of open space (Lot 1) and will be owned and maintained by the HOA.
A motion to approve the sign with the condition that the setback be verified on site prior to installation was made and seconded; the motion passed with the commission voting in favor. The commission also asked staff to ensure the sign permit and staking occur before installation.
The approval covers design, material samples and lighting as presented; long‑term maintenance and permit compliance were identified as HOA responsibilities.
