REVIEW EVALUATIONS:
Virginia Dept. of Transportation: In accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of
Virginia, no private advertisement sign can be placed on the state's right-of-way. Prior to
erection on private property, a permit may have to be applied for through our District Office
in Staunton. You may do so by contacting Mr. Larry Curry at (540) 332-9098.

may require A/E seal at the time of permit application.

PLANNING COMMISSION SUMMARY & ACTION OF 07/05/00: The representative for the
applicant stated that after additional businesses locate in the Eastgate Commerce Center, a
monument -type sign listing all of the businesses will be erected to replace the existing sign. The
representative pointed out that no easement has beengranted from Eastgate to White properties for
the existing sign. He said that in order for the sign to be permanent, an easement must be in place
when the property is sold. The applicant had no objection to adding a condition which would
eliminate the sign after the front property develops.
Members of the Commission questioned the unsightly appearance of the sign in its existing form and
size. The Commission placed an additional condition on the permit which would void the conditional
use permit once the lot is sold or developed and/or a permanent sign is built.
There were no citizen comments.
The Planning Commission recommended approval of the conditional use permit by a majority vote,
with the following conditions:
All review agency comments must be complied with at all times.
2. A sign permit must be obtained from the Building Inspections Department for the off -premise
sign.
Should the business cease to operate at the location advertised by the sign, the off -premise
sign must be removed within 30 days.
4. Upon the sale of Parcel 76-A-53 and/or upon the construction of a permanent sign,
Conditional Use permit #10-00 will be void.
The vote was as follows:
YES (TO APPROVE): Fisher, Kriz, Ours, Thomas, Marker, Morris, DeHaven
NO: Miller, Unger
ABSTAIN: Light
