Orangetown clears PDI sign despite questions about scale and lighting
Summary
After brief discussion about size and hours of illumination, Orangetown board approved a PDI sign permit; the applicant said the sign will be set back from the road and that lighting hours had not been determined at the hearing.
The board in Orangetown approved a permit June 4 to install a sign for PDI after brief questions about scale and lighting hours.
During the discussion, a speaker the chair addressed as Robin described the sign location and said the new sign would be set back and centered within existing plantings, noting that the previously installed sign at the site had been much larger (described in the record as 20 feet by 8 feet). A board member said the proposed sign "seems huge" compared with nearby features; Robin responded that in scale it would not be as large as earlier units and that the current placement would be more centered.
A board member asked about lighting hours. Robin said lighting hours "[had] not been determined" and offered to propose limits to the customer if the board wanted them; the record does not show the board imposing specific lighting-hour restrictions at the meeting.
The chair opened and closed the public portion for the PDI item, the board moved to approve the sign as presented, and members voiced their approval. The transcript does not record individual vote tallies or the name of the seconder.
