The applicant seeks a variance from Section 21.7.1 of the Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance to reduce the setback for a freestanding sign from the minimum requirement of thirty (30) feet to ten (10) feet. (See the attached copy of the staff report.) David Smith, Head Administrator for Maranatha Christian Church, stated that they were currently leasing the building and had come up with the plans which he passed out to the Board. He stated that with the way the parking lot was designed that if they placed the sign back the required distance that it would be in the middle of the parking lot. He stated that the front of the building faced the parking lot and not the road, so they put up a sign over the door to the entrance of the building. He stated that it was difficult to see that sign from the road because the building sat on a bank. Ile stated that they proposed to put up this plastic illuminated sign with brick around it with the total area of the sign being 24 square feet. He stated that they wanted to place the sign back 10 feet, which would make it a total of 40 feet from the center line of the road. Mrs. Huckle asked if the sign was going to be a total of 4 feet in height to the top and 6 feet from the edge of the frame to the other side? Mr. Smith stated that was correct. Mr. Van Fossen asked if they were using this location temporarily until they found another church? Mr. Smith stated that he believed that they had a 3 or 5 year lease with the option if they out grew the site they could move on� He stated they were bound to the lease for 1 1/2 years and then it changed to a monthly basis. He stated that they were subleasing .from Charlottesville Produce. He stated that they did not have any current building plans. May 10, 1988 Minutes of Albemarle County Board of Zoning Appeals Page The Chairman invited public comment. There being no further public comment, the matter was placed before the Board. Mr. Van Fossen stated that in view of the area and the other signs that were on that street, he moved the variance be granted with the following stipulations: 1) That it be granted to the applicant only and shall not be transferable, 2) That the sign not exceed 24 square feet in area, 3) That the sign not exceed 4 feet in height, 4) That the sign be constructed of ma.sonery and/or wood materials with a plastic face, which he had mentioned. He stated that he had no problem with external lighting or internal lighting as long as it was a soft light. He stated that he would leave the external lighting up to the Zoning Department to make sure that it was safe. Mr. Evans asked if he meant subject to Zoning Department's review. Mr. Van Fossen agreed. Mr. Evans asked if the height of the sign was limited to 4 feet if the Board could make it subject to be reviewed for visibility and distance? He asked if he had to alter it was it alright if he went up a little bit or down? Mr. Van Fossen stated that was fine, but that he had put in the 4 feet because that was what he had asked for. Mr. Burgess stated that the reason for the ten foot height was so that if there was a vision obstruction that they could take it up some and give them vision clearance under the sign. Mr. Van Fossen stated that he had indicated that :it was a masoner_y sign so they would not be building underneath it.
