VA-2001-008 (Signs #2 & #3) - First Citizens Bank and Trust Company
(owner) / Wayne Burton (applicant). Located in the SW quadrant of inters Rt.
29 and Dominion Dr. near Shoppers World Shp Ctr. TM 61M/Parcel 12-1, zoned
Commercial-1 and Entrance Corridor. Requests an increase in freestanding sign
height from 12 to 16 ft.
We are requesting a variance to increase the height of the First
Citizens Bank sign at this location to approximately 12' above
the level of the highway in order for it to be more visible for
the traffic to slow and make a safe turn onto Dominion Drive
to enter the bank.
If we are allowed the variance, this would place the top of the
sign from the grade at approximately 16' .
This property sits from 3' to 10' below the road level and is
severely blocked by the adjacent property to the north.
