Dear Planning and Zoning Board,
I am writing in response to the proposed sign change for the
Steele's Market at the Harmony Market PO. I am a neighbor ofthe
Harmony Market and I have been involved in the PACE warehouse and.
Builder's Square developments at this site. I.wrote to the Planningand. Zoning Board in support of the Planning staff's denial of the
Builder's Square sign change. The neighborhood compatibility of
the{ developments at the Harmony Market has always been a concern of
mine.
I believe that the applicant's proposal for 3 ft. letters indicating
a Deli, and Pharmacy should be amended. Since the "Steele'0
Markets signs to be 4 ft. tall, the additional 3 ft. signagewould
appear.too obtrusive. I suggest the Board propose 2 rt. tall
lettering for these smaller signs. I would argue that in today's
market, a new, large
a gr store is assumed to have a deli, bakery
and pharmacy. The neigh center land use of a Steele's Market
implies that most customers will be local area visitors, and will
therefore know that the store includes these amenities.
I would also encourage the Board to deny the further signage indi-
cating "Mailboxes Etc., Travel and Cleaners." Allowing signagefor
all tenants in the store will set a bad precedent throughout the
P D. Note that Warehouse Liquors does not have a sign on the PACE
building. Advertisement for these tenants can be acheived through
newspaper adz, radio spots, and direct mailings to the southeast
neighborhoods. Again, the Steele's southside, customers will soon
learn about these conveniences.
I therefore recommend that the Planning and Zoning Board require
the Pharmacy, Deli and Bakery signage be reduced to 2 ft. lettering
and the tenant signage be deleted from the plan. Thank you for
your consideration on this matter.
Sincerely,
Aeiti
