Board clears Cushmart for second, non-flashing digital sign at 2470 Hamburg Turnpike
Summary
The Lackawanna Zoning Board unanimously approved Cushmart's request for a second on-building digital sign at 2470 Hamburg Turnpike, conditional on obtaining standard sign permits; the applicant emphasized the sign will not rotate or flash.
The board voted unanimously Jan. 28 to allow Cushmart at 2470 Hamburg Turnpike to install a second on-building digital sign, provided the company obtains required permits.
A Cushmart representative told the board the proposed display would be static and used seasonally: "It's not gonna spin. It's not gonna flash," the representative said, adding the sign would be changed only a few times a year to show simple promotions such as "30% off." The applicant said the sign would be centered on the building to avoid visual conflict with a nearby billboard along Route 5.
Board members discussed local code language and recent state changes to sign rules. After discussion, the board passed the variance by voice vote (motion by Spasic; second by Durkin) with a recorded 5-0 outcome. Members told the applicant to secure the sign permit before ordering or installing the sign.
