REPORT TO THE GENERAL PURPOSE AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE
MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 27, 1982
REPORT NO. : PD-156-82
SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR SPECIAL RESOLUTION OF COUNCIL
AS PROVIDED IN SIGN BY-LAW 76-25 TO PERMIT
THE USE OF THE COLOURS RED, GREEN OR AMBER
WITHIN 150 FEET OF AN INTERSECTION
RECOMMENDATION:
It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and
Administration Committee recommend to Council the
following:
1 . That Report PD-156-82 be received; and
2. That an exemption be granted from Section
4(3)(b) of Sign By-law 76-25, as amended, as
requested by Mr. Quinney.
BACKGROUND:
The Stedman Store in the former Village of Newcastle is
located on the north side of King Street approximately 100
feet east of the intersection of Mill and King Streets. On
September 9, 1982, Mr. Howard Quinney, the Stedman Dealer in
the former Village of Newcastle, applied for a permit to
erect a sign on the front of the store.
Report No: PD-156-82 .. ./2
The proposed sign is illuminated, uses the colour red, and
is to be located within 150 feet of an intersection.
Section 4(3)(b) of Sign By-law 76-25 provides that:
"No illuminated sign which uses the colours red, green
or amber shall be located within 150 feet of a traffic
control signal nor within 150 feet of an intersection
of 2 or more streets, except by special Resolution of
Council . This provision shall not apply to signs
located more than 25 feet from any street line."
Mr. Quinney has verbally requested a special Resolution of
Council as provided in the By-law.
COMMENTS:
The proposed sign is an illuminated wall sign 2'-0" x
15'-3 1 /2" and is to be mounted across the face of the
building. The message area indicates the name "STEDMAN" in
red letters on a white background.
The intersection of King and Mill Streets is a traffic light
controlled intersection. It is unlikely any confusion would
occur with the red on the sign and the red traffic light as
the sign is mounted flat across the face of the building.
It therefore appears appropriate for Council to pass the
resolution as requested.
Respect tted,
T. T. Edwards, M.C.I.P.
