RE: Board of Zoning Appeals Action
VA-2006-008 -Tax Map 32, parcel 10
Dear Madam,
Thank you for your attention to this matter. Please find the requested information below.
1. The existing size on sign #3 is 4' x 24' and it is 35' OAH. The existing size on sign #4
is 4' x 6'. There is currently no signage on the building with proposed sign #5; that
is a new hanger.
2. Existing = 316 sq ft, Proposed = 397 sq ft
3. The signage is directional in nature. It is designating an area of the airport as a
unique destination for private charters. Landmark Aviation does not have any
competition at the airport, so advertising is not the signage's function. The signs do
not need to stipulate the number of the different hangers because people on the
ground handle that aspect of the direction. The signs are simply meant to guide the
pilots towards the correct vicinity. The size of the signs is negotiable, but the
magnitude of the hangers weighs on the decision. The signage is proposed with a
size that reads well with the buildings.
4. From south to north, the frontages of the buildings are 150', 160', 220', and 90'.
These measurements were taken on the runway side of all of the buildings.
5. The only sign that is in question as far as visibility from public ROWs is the sign on
the rear of the maintenance building. It can be seen as one pulls into the airport
entrance from the roundabout. This sign is also the only sign that relates to
incoming traffic where to go if Landmark Aviation is one's destination.
Thank you for reviewing this project. We look forward to achieving a resolution that meets
the county's needs and also benefits the general public (as well as pilots in this case).
