11625 AIRPORT RD BASE FILE 2020-05-29

Teresa Weldon From: Teresa Weldon Sent: Thursday, January30, 2014 3:05 PM To: 'nic@trademarx.com' Subject: Sonrise Sign - 11625 Airport Rd -Comments on PERMIT#S1401-006 Attachments: 20140130135751751.pdf Dear Mr. Nic Chavez, Thank you for our phone conversation this afternoon regarding the proposed sign. To recap our conversation, below are Planning Department comments. 1) The attached document is a site plan from a previous building permit submittal. The front property line is right where the front parking lot pavement starts. Correct the location of the proposed sign so that it meets the setback. A six foot tall sign would be required to be setback 6" from the property line. From your measurement, that would put it at about 8.5 feet from the interior sidewalk edge. 2) In 1997, a Boundary Line Adjustment separated Bldg B (Sonrise) from Bldg A. Therefore Bldg B does not have property frontage on Airport Rd. The issue here is that all signs must be on-premise of the business/organization. Unless the properties have a Binding Site Plan to bind the properties together (which they do not); any off-premise sign either needs to be on a billboard or be granted an approval from a REV II - Comprehensive Sign Design land use application. The application can be found here: http://www.everettwa.org/Get PDF.aspx?pdfID=6111 NOTE: In order to proceed with the application, we will need to get a corrected site plan. I can give you a `clean' site plan to use instead of the one attached, if needed. We can chat over the phone about what needs to be submitted with this application. 3) The new code requires that monument signs be separated by 200 feet. The proposed monument sign is about 120 feet away from the existing monument sign in the middle of the property. That sign will either need to be removed or moved so that it's 200 feet away. The other option is to obtain a Variance for the separation. The outcome of a variance decision is up to the Hearing Examiner and takes some months to process. In order to have a sign here, I would suggest proceeding with the REV II application and moving or removing the other monument sign to meet the 200 ft separation. We will keep the permit open and wait for your response on how you would like to proceed. Sincerely, Teresa (Firnstahl) Weldon Associate Planner City of Everett Planning Department 425.257.7281 1
