PZ-23-1202 Public Hearing Sign Variance, located at 735 W Main St, PIN 99-10-351-033.
The applicant, Danny Marler of Robinson Outdoor, LLC, was present.
Danny Marler was sworn in by the Chairperson.
Mr Marler explained that the signs are all tied to the National Emergency Alert Center and if an emergency alert
is issued the sign will automatically swap out the ad for the emergency alert. The reason they want the 24/7
illumination is because the signs basically computers, so if they have to shut them down between 10pm and 6am
there is no way for an emergency alert to be displayed. Also, it would take some time to reboot so the sign does
display and would only delay an emergency alert from being displayed. So there request for 24/7 illumination was
because they need them to stay on all the time to effectively display emergency alerts, not just to only show
emergency alerts during certain hours.
The sign is leased up with advertising space about 80-85% of the time, the other 15-20% is offered to the city to
use for free for community messages, such as; missing persons, wanted fugitives, replace smoke detector
reminders, tourism events, etc.
Three sign faces are necessary to property display in all traffic directions. Also, with rising costs to build these
types of signs, having 3 sign faces helps to make such projects financially viable.
The Commission members considered the following items:
• The granting of the requested variance would not be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety,
morals, comfort or general welfare;
• The granting of the variance would not be injurious to the use and enjoyment of other property in the
immediate vicinity, nor substantially diminish or impair property values within the adjacent area;
• The Development Review Committee reviewed the variance requests at their December 6, 2023 meeting
and recommended approval of 3 sign faces, reduce lineal feet between off premise signs to 300 feet, max
height of 25 feet and 24/7 illumination to allow for emergency alerts.
Member Thomas moved, seconded by Member McKelvie to approve 3 sign faces, reduce lineal feet between off
premise signs to 300 feet, max height of 25 feet and 24/7 illumination to allow for emergency alerts.
Roll Call #2
Ayes: Cochrane, Johnson, Lee, McKelvie, Thomas, Uhlmann, 6.
Nays: None.
Abstentions: None.
Chairperson declared the motion approved.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 5:44 p.m.
