Request for amendment to Table 6.5.8A of the zoning regulations to modify the provision related to building in the Industrial and Commercial zones. 2. There are three parts to this request: • the first request is to eliminate the number of tenant signs allowed (the square footage of signage allowed would be governed by the building frontage) • the second request is to correct the existing language from "building frontage" to "building signage" under the "additional requirements" section • and the third request is would allow for signs to be placed on three sides of the building under the "additional requirements" section 3. Currently, the regulations allow only one tenant sign; however if a building has more than one frontage we have allowed signs to be placed on both frontages. � i 4. In the 2007 re-write of the zoning regulations we only allowed one square foot per tenant; hpWever that was changed a couple years back to allow two square feet. Y), s. f 5. In evaluating the impact this change, the Commission should recognize that on larger buildings this change would allow for signage on three sides of building and could result in a number of different signs on each of the sides of the building. Section 6.5.4.0 of the regulations already allows industrial/commercial buildings to have signage on the rear of the building as of right. In the event the Commission allow this amendment at proposed, we should be clear that includes the rear signage as well. 6. The concern I would have is for the larger building and the number of signs that potentially could arise. The Commission may want to a regulation that addresses building with larger frontages. 7. CRCOG was noticed of the proposed changes as required and they responded that they "find no apparent conflict with regional plans and policies of the concerns of neighboring towns". 4OW N sf4 w� 1540 SULLIVAN AVENUE• SOUTH WINDSOR, CT 06074 f�dsoa•co�� TELEPHONE (860) 644-2511 CERTIFIED MAIL 70111570 0000 63371549 September 11, 2015 Peter DeMallie Design Professionals, Inc. 21 Jeffrey Drive South Windsor, CT 06074 Dear Mr. DeMallie: Re: Appl. 15-45P,Design Professionals, Inc.
