Ed Moore called the meeting to order and noted the following members present:
Members:
Ed Moore and Jack Martin
Staff Present:
Tom Niederauer, Eddie Edwards
Applicant:
Ken Burghart
I. Aaenda Item # 1
The first item on the agenda was the request of Good Shepherd Catholic Community at
1000 Tinker Road for variances from the sign regulations for their entrance sign on
Tinker Road.
The applicant, Ken Burghart, explained his request, including that they do not want to
move the existing stone sign on Tinker at the west entrance to the parking lot.
Jack Martin asked questions about the height of the sign in relationship to the two
berms and different levels of the terrain.
Mr. Burghart explained that the bottom of the sign and the finish floor of the building are
at the same level, which is also about street level.
Charles & Sandi Gorena, 909 Tinker Road, explained that they own property across the
street on Tinker Road and have concerns about the lighting for the sign bouncing into
their bedroom windows. There was discussion about how the light would be restricted
by the landscaping and the berms. There was also discussion about the location of the
Gorenas' home in relationship to the location of the proposed lighted sign.
In light of the fact that the sign will actually be directly across the street from the
Gorena's neighbor to the east, and that the front of the Gorena's house is set back
about 75 feet from the road, Martin said he would be inclined to approve the sign
variance, but that the light should be turned off at 10:00 p.m.
Mr. Burghart said that the church has security lights in the parking lot that remain on all
night, but he had no objection to the 10:00 pm condition
