Board approves electronic message board and special‑use relief for 1350 South Main
Summary
Trustees debated setbacks, sign dimensions and potential traffic glare for an electronic message board at 1350 South Main. After staff explanation and packet review, the board waived second readings and approved the variance and related land‑use relief and special use for the site.
Trustees considered a variance to allow an electronic message board (EMB) at 1350 South Main. Concerns centered on how close the sign would sit to right of way/Route 83, potential glare for approaching drivers, and sign dimensions. Trustees reviewed packet drawings showing a 12‑foot, 2‑inch dimension and discussed whether the EMB required column relief or other modifications.
Staff clarified the requested relief concerned the components of the sign structure and said the setback from the right of way appeared sufficient per the packet. After trustee questions about sight lines, columns and parking impacts, motion and second were made to waive the second reading and approve the ordinance. A subsequent motion carried by roll call to authorize the land‑use relief and special use for 1350 South Main, clearing the way for the EMB installation subject to the ordinance terms.
The board also confirmed related approvals for site variances and special‑use provisions for the property; trustees emphasized attention to public safety and encouraged staff to verify setbacks against right‑of‑way and curb lines when final permits are processed.
