The gross surface area of a ground sign is <br />restricted to 100 square feet for each exposed face and shall not exceed an aggregate gross <br />surface area of 200 square feet. Furthermore, ground signs are limited to one (1) per parcel. Ms. <br />Frolik indicated the subject property includes Coborn's, plus three multi- tenant buildings with <br />the potential total capacity of about seventeen (17) tenants. Three sides of the property have <br />public road frontage (Armstrong Blvd, Sunwood Dr, and Zeolite St) and for all intents and <br />purposes it could be considered as having public road frontage on all four sides as the south side <br />is only separated from Highway 10 by the railroad tracks. Yet, regardless of the number of <br />potential businesses or the amount of road frontage, this site is restricted to a single ground sign <br />not exceeding 100 square feet. Ms. Frolik explained there is an existing ground sign on site, <br />which displays the per gallon cost of gasoline. The property owner wishes to install two <br />additional free standing signs, one ground sign and one monument sign.
