TO: Chairman and Members of the REPORT NO. P-83-78
Planning and Development Committee DATE: October 12, 1978
SUBJECT: Report on proposed sign for Scott's Chicken Villa
i
1 . Background:
On September 5, 1978 a representative of Scott's Restaurants Company
appeared as a delegation before this Committee with the request: that
the Sign By-law be amended to permit the erection of a facia sign on
their building at King and George Streets in Bowmanville. This matter
was referred to staff for a report "to see if the request for a second
sign can be accommodated within the existing By-law and if not are ,
situations like this something to which Council should address itself" .
2. Comments:
At present, the subject site contains one ground sign which bears the
Scott's Chicken Villa symbol . The Sign By-law would classify this sign
i
as an identification sign. Since the Sign By-law permits only one iden-
tification sign on an interior lot in a commercial zone, the proposed sign
would not conform to the provisions of the Sign By-law. We do not recommend
a change in the By-law to permit a second sign on this lot for the following
reasons:
i
(a) we do not feel that a second sign is required on a lot with
only a 66 foot frontage,
I
(b) the granting of this request would set a precedent which would
probably result in many more requests of this nature.

3. Recommendation:
For these reasons, we would recommend that the applicant's request
for a second sign on the subject property be refused.
Respectfully submitted,
