RELIEF FROM SIGN BY-LAW REQUIREMENTS
RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and Administration
Committee recommend to Council the following:
1. THAT Report PD-277-87 be received; and
2. THAT the request for relief from the provisions of Section 8(2)(a)(iii),
Sign By-law 76-25 to erect signs in excess of the number permitted be
approved subject to a permit being approved.
BACKGROUND:
Steel Art Signs Limited on behalf of the Castle Hotel, Bowmanville has submitted an
application to erect two (2) illuminated wall signs in excess of the number
permitted in Sign By-law 76-25. As the building fronts on two (2) streets, King
and Division, it is proposed to erect a wall sign on each frontage.
The Division Street sign is approximately 16'8" x 2'8" (45 square feet) and the
King Street sign is approximately 18'6" x 2'll" (54 square feet). Proposed colours
are to be white, blue and black. Each sign will have the name Rumours Lounge on
one (1) end and a building silhouette on the other. The centre section of each

will have an area which will permit the changing of messages.
Presently there are two (2) signs located on the building. On the west side near
the rear of the building a sign approximately 2'6" x 20' with the name "The Little
Pub". On the King Street side is an overhanging sign with the name "Castle Hotel".
Section 8(2)(a)(iii) "Signs Per Lot" provides:
"1 for each professional or business establishment
plus 1 additional if the lot fronts on more than
1 street...."
Steel Art Signs Limited on behalf of the Castle Hotel have therefore requested a
variance from the Sign By-law provisions in order to erect the two (2) additional
signs.
Staff recommend that the request be approved subject to the necessary permit being
obtained.
