SUBJECT: Signs at 2251 Main Street
Spf1d, OR
Dear Mr. Asayed:
Having been in the making for three years, the Springfield Sign Ordinance is a product
of the combined efforts of a special sign subcommittee formed by the Planning Commis..
sion, representatives of the Springfield Chamber of Commerce, and the Springfield Com-
mittee for Citizen Involvement. A number of public hearings also occured for further
citizen input. Then, as of January 1981, the Springfield City Council adopted the new
Sign Ordinance.
Section 9-7-21(5) of the Sign Ordinance requires abandoned signs (signs which advertise
a business no longer located on the premises) to be removed. Abandoned signs must be
.. removed by thirty (30) days from the date of the notice of such violation.
As a result of the recent City-wide sign survey, the following violation was found on
your property relative to abandened signs: I
All signs at the House of Bar-B-Q must be removed
By Mav 9. 1982 , the above referenced violation of the Springfield
Sign Ordinance must be corrected. Because the sign survey was completed in July of 1981,
it is possible you have already taken steps to correct or have completed correcting this
violation. If this is the case, please contact this office as soon as possible.
The Building Beard of Appeals is empowered to hear and grant variances to the Sign Ordin-
ance, provided a written appeal is submitted to the Superintendent of Building within 10
days of the date of reccipt of this letter. The Board of Appeals may grant a variance
with regard to the unusual size, shape, or dimension of a site of because of existing
structures thereon in relation to a sign or its placement. The Board of Appeals may NOT
"grant a variance based on economic hardship.
