Consider a Variation to the Sign Code for the Proposed New Starbucks at 820 Milwaukee Avenue (Trustee Ottenheimer) (Staff Contact: Chris Stilling) Mr. David Rodatz, Hilton Displays on behalf of Starbucks, 125 Hillside Drive, Greenville, SC 29607, was present and sworn in. Mr. Rodatz explained that when determining the proposed size of the logo on the east elevation, they looked at both visibility and aesthetics. They are requesting the logo to be 71" in height. They considered moving the proposed signage on the west elevation to a different elevation but determined that would not be feasible due to a lack of visibility. They are not proposing any signage on the drive -through elevation due to that elevation facing residential homes. Com. Moodhe clarified which building the Starbucks would be occupying with staff. Mr. Stilling added that a variation was granted to the developer for a wall sign on the south elevation previously. However, Starbucks did not want a sign on that elevation, they are asking for the west elevation. Staff agrees it's better because a sign would not be facing single family homes. Ch. Cesario asked the petitioner why the proposed east elevation wall sign needs to be 7" more than what Code allows. Mr. Rodatz responded that he asked Starbucks about that and Starbucks decided to go with it. The proposed signage is scaled in size for the elevation. Ch. Cesario stated that there needs to be reasons in order for the PZC to grant relief. Mr. Rodatz responded that he wants to keep the design and scope of the work in line with what Starbucks wanted. Ch. Cesario confirmed the request for the west elevation signage is due to visibility. Com. Goldspiel asked if the petitioner is willing to reduce the size of the proposed east elevation wall sign to meet Code. Mr. Rodatz responded yes. Ms. Akash explained how the square footage was calculated. Com. Moodhe asked staff about previous similar requests. Com. Cohn believes that the Ordinance speaks for itself. There is no evidence of hardship presented. 04/3/2019 Ch. Cesario asked the petitioner how he would like to proceed. Mr. Rodatz stated he can amend the petition. Com. Weinstein confirmed that the petitioner is withdrawing his request for the proposed east elevation wall sign variation. There were no additional questions or comments from the Commissioners. There were no questions or comments from the audience. The public hearing was closed at 8:34 PM. Moved by Com. Weinstein, seconded by Com. Moodhe, to recommend approval of the variation for the second wall sign on the west elevation. The approved variation shall conform to the plans submitted as part of the application for the west elevation only. Ch. Cesario is supportive of the amended petition. The signs are for identification purposes. RESULT: RECOMMENDATION TO APPROVE [UNANIMOUS] Next: 4/15/2019 7:30 PM MOVER: Mitchell Weinstein, Commissioner SECONDER: Adam Moodhe, Commissioner AYES: Moodhe, Cesario, Cohn, Goldspiel, Khan, Lesser, Weinstein ABSENT: Amy Au Adjournment The meeting was adjourned at 9:14 PM Chris Stilling APPROVED BY ME THIS 3rd DAY OF April , 2019
