1. LONGO BROTHERS FRUIT MARKET, 3085 HIGHWAY #7, EAST
APPLICATION FOR GROUND SIGN VARIANCE (03-108598) (2.16.2)

The ground sign variance application submitted by Longo Brothers Fruit Market at 3085 Highway #7 East, was deferred to the Unionville Subcommittee from the Development Services Committee on June 3, 2003.

Mr. Jason Garnet, representing Longo Brothers, discussed the reasons for the requested sign variance, and reviewed the sign standards of other municipalities. Mr. Garnet offered to forfeit a mobile sign in order to permit the readograph sign. Staff advised that the by-law currently prohibits mobile signs if there is a readograph on the ground sign.

The Committee indicated it could not support amendments to the new sign by-law, and suggested the applicant re-design the board to make more efficient use of the sign area.

RECOMMENDATION:

That the ground sign variance application by Longo Brothers Fruit Market at 3085 Highway #7 East, application # 03-108598, be denied.

ADJOURNMENT

The Unionville Subcommittee adjourned at 9:30 a.m.
