The MOTION was declared to be carried unanimously.
APPEAL : College Circle Apartments , Owner, Michael O ' Shea , Agent,
requesting a variance from Section 3 . 02 -16 of the Town of Ithaca Sign Law,
to be permitted to construct and place a 54 square foot property
identification sign ( 24 square foot limit) at the College Circle and Danby
Road , Town of Ithaca Tax Parcel No . 43 - 1 -2 . 2 , Multiple Residence District.
Chairperson Sigel — Hello . Could you please give us your name and address , for
the record ? Could you just give us a brief over view of what it is you are asking to
do ?
Vincent Nicotra , QPK Design , 450 South Salina Street , Syracuse - Yes . This
sign is designed to be installed at the entrance of the Phase I and Phase II of the
recently completed College Circle Project . It represents , both in character and in
configuration , similar signs of the one that is at the entrance to Ithaca College
and also to the Coddington Road entrance of the college . Since the college
controls the property , as part of their student housing , they wish to identify it as
such and match the other entrances with the sign . This is approximately about 60
percent the size of the sign at the main entrance of the college and basically , the
6
ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS
SEPTEMBER 15 , 2003
54 square feet most appropriately comes from the fact that it is an oddly
configured sign and it is unique in it's design . That's really what's creating the 54
square feet . You have a 30 square feet variation . The sign is about four foot
three at the front and about a little over a foot in the back . So , in terms of its
impact on the site , it isn 't as if you are posting a 54 square foot sign on a pylon .
This is close to the ground and it kind of matches that configuration .
Chairperson Sigel — The 54 square feet is the entire concrete surface , is that
correct?
Mr. Nicotra — It ' s the entire concrete surface on one side . The face square
footage .
Chairperson Sigel — Right . So if, for instance , you , I think say , if you had your
letters mounted on a , say a separate board and then it was just attached to the
concrete . You could argue that that was just a support structure and it would not
be included . Do you know the area of just , say , the circumscribed , a rectangle
drawn around the letters ?
Mr . Nicotra — I do not , but I would actually say it' s probably less than 24 square
feet because it 's twelve feet , 3/4 of twelve is nine , so " Circle Apartments" would
represent nine square feet and " Ithaca College " certainly isn 't 15 square feet , so
it's under 24 square feet . Again , this was referred and we submitted the
application to the Planning Board .
Mr . Dixon — It's a lot smaller than the sign for the Museum of the Earth .
Chairperson Sigel — That' s true .
Mr . Frost — Is this the same size of the one by the Ithaca College entrance ?
Mr . Nicotra — 60 percent of the size of that sign . That one is considerably larger.
Mr. Frost — I think what ' s nice about the sign is that it is consistent with the Ithaca
College main entrance sign , which is quite similar .
Mr. Nicotra — Again , the intent here is to blend and match these both in style . The
letter is not as tall . That is twelve inches at the main entrance , this is nine inches
for "Circle Apartments" . So it's a . scaled down version of that sign .
Chairperson Sigel — Do you know if the apartments formerly had any kind of
variance for a sign ?
Mr . Nicotra — I don 't believe there was ever a permanent sign out there .

SEPTEMBER 15 , 2003 ,
Chairperson Sigel — Well we have a Planning Board resolution here which was
unanimously approved , acting as Sign Review Board . Mike , any comments .
Mr. Smith — Nothing really different than what's been mentioned . It's similar to the
existing signs . It doesn 't have lighting ?
Mr. Nicotra - No , no lighting .
Mr. Smith — There is no lighting on it.
Mr. Nicotra — There is a light pole , just behind it that will provide some light, but .
that' s an existing pole .
Chairperson Sigel - No specific illumination to the sign ?
Mr. Nicotra — No .
Chairperson Sigel — Okay . Any other comments or questions ?
Chairperson Sigel opened the Public Hearing at 7 : 19 p . m . With no persons
present to be heard , Chairperson Sigel closed the Public Hearing at 7 : 20 p . m .
