June 27, 1983
Mr. Kirkham Cornwall, Chairman
Town of Queensbury Zoning Board of Appeals
Town Hall, Bay Road
Glens Falls, NY 12801
Subject: Sweet Raod Bakers,:, Variance Request.
Dear Mr. Cornwall,
Please consider this letter a request to vary the Sign Ordi-
nance on the Town of Queensbury as it pertains to the setback re-
quirements as indicated on pp. 12, para. A.
We are proposing to install a double faced sign, size eight
feet by five feet (forty square feet total) as indicated on our
attached drawing No 83418-A. We are proposing to install this sign
on the Upper Glen Street side of our property.
The State of New York owns twenty two feet into our parking
lot from the curb line. If we should install the pole sign with
the fifteen foot setback as the ordinance directs, the pole sign
would be installed at a measurement of thirty seven feet back from
the curb line. Because no leading edge of the sign can overhang
the setback line, and because the sign box measures eight feet wide,
the pole supporting the sign structure would be set a total measure-
ment of•rforty five feet back from the curb line.
I am sure you can see what our problem is. Because the sign
is set back so far, it becomes somewhat of an obstruction rather
than what it is supposed to be; an advertising display to show
customers where our place of business is.
I have painted a white line on the pavement at the 22 foot
location, the 37 foot location, and the 45 foot location so that
you or any member of your Board can examine the property and real-
ize our difficulty in complying -with the Sign Ordingnce setback
provision.
We respectfully request, because of the above reason, that of
vehicular safety of automobiles as they arrive and leave our busi-
ness, that the Queesnbury Zoning Board of Appeals grant our request
and allow us to install our pole sign on the property line.
Sincerely,
SWEET R AD B $S
