Description:
David Herrara of Roswell Fiesta Shopping Center located at 11235 Alpharetta Highway applied to increase the allowed sigange and add an LED sign for variable messages.  The current regulations would allow a ground sign with a maximum of 96 square feet of signage, a maximum height of 12 feet and a sign-to-base ratio of 70/30.  The current sign is nonconforming for the following reasons:  height is approximately 25 feet, half of it is signage and the other half is the base, and there is a changeable copy message board affixed to the brick base.  Staff denied the permit on 7-18-09 because no variances can be granted to a nonconforming sign.
