VARIANCE APPLICATION
Owner: UREF Research Park,Inc.
Location: Fontaine Research Park,Fontaine Avenue
DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST:
UREF requests a variance in the existing sign ordinance to allow for a sign on
each of two retaining walls at either side of the entrance road to the FONTAINE
RESEARCH PARK.
JUSTIFICATION:
1. Clear site identification for traffic heading in both directions is critical for
successful access to the site. A double-sided sign in the entrance island as
allowed in the ordinance would not be as effective because of problems with site
distance visibility.
2. N/A
3. The signs as proposed are subtle, are of natural materials,and are designed
to be effective but unobtrusive markers for the entrance to the park.
Additionally,the location of the entrance per VDOT required substantial grading
necessitating retaining walls at the entrance. Instead of adding a free standing
sign it was determine that utilizing the retaining walls for signage purposes
would not only make sense visually and economically but would result in a more
attractive entrance suitable to a parkway setting.
