Report No. : PD-37-82 , . ,/2
On February 24, 1982, Mr. Lange applied for a permit to
erect a sign at the new location.
The proposed sign displays a Kodak logo using the colours
red and amber and is to be located within 150 feet of an
intersection.
i
Section 4(3) (b) of Sign By-law 76-25 provides that:
I
"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. "
I
Mr. Lange has verbally requested a special Resolution of
Council as provided in the By-law.
i
COMMENTS
The proposed sign is an illuminated wall sign 22-1 2 inches
9 / s
by 14 feet 16 inches and is to be mounted across the face of
the building. The message area indicates the owners name
I
"Lange Photo Lab" in black letters on a white background and
at one end is the 14 in. x 21 in. Kodak logo using the
colours red and amber.
There are no traffic lights at this intersection and it is
unlikely any confusion would occur with the red and amber on
the sign and the red and amber of any traffic lights erected
in the future.
It therefore appears appropriate for Council to pass the
resolution as requested.
