Sign approved for Poston Road Elementary

The Martinsville Board of Zoning and Appeals approved a special exception variance for Green Sign Company, LLC, to install a sign with an electronic message display at Poston Road Elementary School.

The variance was needed due to the sign’s close proximity to residential areas.

A neighboring resident on Ohio Street asked the board to consider setting parameters for when the sign would be illuminated.

The board agreed to approve the application with the stipulation that the sign will not be illuminated from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m.

The next meeting of the Board of Zoning and Appeals will be held at 6 p.m. on Oct. 26, at Martinsville City Hall, 59 S. Jefferson St.
