Applicant seeks three monument signs; town staff flags logo use requires permission
Summary
The applicant requested three ground monument signs (two with a modest area increase) and presented a gateway sign concept. Board discussed sign sizes and logo use; a town representative said the Oakland logo is protected and cannot be used without permission.
Signage was a focused subject during the application presentation and Q&A.
Taylor explained the land development code normally permits a single ground sign per developed property; the applicant requested three ground monument signs and asked for slight increases in sign area (from the code standard 48 sq ft to 51 sq ft for two signs). The applicant presented a rendering of one sign type and said the third, keyed sign would be located at the intersection of State Road 50 and Catherine Ross, serving as a gateway to both the center and the town.
When asked whether businesses could use the Oakland logo, a town representative said they cannot do so "without our permission because it's actually a protected logo." The applicant and staff described the signs as gateway features intended to announce the center and the town, not as tenant identification that would replace individual storefront signage.
