CITATION
Planning and Zoning Director Ecker said Popeye's Chicken at 1718 E. Tenth Street was cited in regard to
the signage and landscaping required. Representing Popeye's was Chris Harding who appeared before the
Board. Director Ecker said Mr. Harding went before the Board of Zoning Appeals and requested
landscape and sign variances. It was agreed at the August Zoning meeting that Harding would accept the
landscape requirements in the zoning code. The Board voted to allow up to 115 sq. ft. of total signage at
Mr. Kovert's request. It was left up to Popeye's to decide how to distribute the signage between a wail
sign and a monument sign. Ms. Ecker said the landscape requirements haven't been met and the signage
is in violation of his permit, although some progress has been made. Still at issue are the temporary
banner in the rear of the building with no permit, a sign that was added to the main mall sign without a
permit, the monument sign that is not completed and the landscape area in the back that isn't done. After
some discussion, Mr. Harding said he would like to come back before the Board of Zoning Appeals in
regard to the signage. Councilperson Waiz made the motion that the issue goes back to the Board of
Zoning Appeals and should the variances be denied, Mr. Harding would have 15 days to comply with the
zoning code or be cited back to the Board of Public Works, seconded by Personnel Director Ellis and
carried unanimously.
