PROJECT HISTORY
The Albemarle County Code, section 4.15.10 requires 100 feet or more of continuous street frontage for a
freestanding sign. The frontage for this application measures only 67.83 feet along Hydraulic Road. Placing a
freestanding sign on this parcel requires a variance of 32.17 feet. Because of this variance, ARB review and
approval is required. This application was originally placed on the Consent Agenda for the May 6, 2002 ARB
meeting but was deferred by the ARB because of concern regarding the proportions of the pillars supporting the
sign. The applicant has since agreed to reduce the width of the pillar from 36" to 30", as requested.
PROJECT DETAILS
The applicant proposes to install a monument sign at the entrance to the Webland Park residential development. The
sign is proposed for the southwest corner of the intersection of Hydraulic Road and Webland Road.
