City Council <br />Meeting Minutes <br />July 5, 2016 <br />Page 3 of 10 <br />Mayor Muckle called for a staff presentation. <br />Planner II Robinson noted the applicant requests an Iconic Sign designation for the <br />former Standard Oil sign at 937 Pine Street, on the corner of Front and Pine Streets. <br />An iconic sign is an existing non - conforming sign with a distinctive architectural style <br />designated with the owner's consent as an iconic sign. <br />The current sign does not comply with the existing sign code, meaning the owners can <br />remove it, reuse it as is, or get it named as an "iconic sign." The Historic Preservation <br />Commission (HPC) and City Council have to review such designations. The sign was <br />built in 1961 and is still in the same location. The gas station wants to reuse the sign to <br />advertise the station. <br />The following are staff's findings and analysis of the Iconic Sign application for 947 Pine <br />Street by the criteria: <br />1. The sign, by its design, construction and location, will not have a <br />substantial adverse effect on abutting property or the permitted use <br />thereof, and will contribute to the City's unique character and quality of life; <br />The sign is located on the comer of Pine and Front Streets out of the 30' vision <br />clearance triangle. Staff finds the re- facing improves the character of the intersection <br />resulting in a positive impact on the surrounding properties. The unique sign is featured <br />on a gateway into Downtown Louisville. <br />2. The sign exhibits unique or rare characteristics that enhance the <br />streetscape or identity of Downtown Louisville and it clearly provides a <br />unique architectural style and appearance. <br />The rare shape and prominent location of the Standard Oil sign captures mid - twentieth <br />century character of Downtown Louisville. <br />3. The sign contributes to the historical or cultural character of the <br />streetscape or the community at large. <br />The sign was constructed prior to 1961. With some modifications to the sign pole, the <br />sign has been a part of the Louisville streetscape for over 50 years. <br />4. The sign and all parts, portions, and materials shall be maintained and <br />kept in good repair. The display surface of all signs shall be kept clean, <br />neatly painted, and free from rust and corrosion. <br />The current sign has issues with rust and deterioration. As a part of the re- facing of the <br />sign, the applicant will repair and refurbish the sign structure. <br />
