On a motion duly made by Mr. Duggan and seconded by Mrs. Hildebrandt, it was
#3-44-85 RESOLVED that, pursuant to Section 18.47 of Zoning Ordinance #543, the
City Planning Commission does hereby recommend to the City Council
that Sign Permit Application #1317 by John Dinan requesting to erect
three ground signs on property located on the northeast corner of
Farmington Road and Lyndon Avenue in Section 22 be denied for the
following reasons :
(1) The Sign Permit Application proposes an excessive number of
signs since one sign is sufficient to properly identify the
office complex.
(2) The proposed signage would constitute a hazard to traffic
because it would require persons travelling the Farmington
Road thoroughfare to read three identical-appearing signs
instead of one project sign.
(3) There is no need for more than one project sign since all of
these buildings are identical , the parking lots are inter-
connected, and the tenants can be identified with a sign
directory adjacent to the building entrance.

(4) The proposed signage is contrary to the aesthetic image
sought to be attained by the City in the Civic Center Area
by the limitation of unnecessary and unwarranted commercial
signs.
