Report CS 33-09 September 14, 2009
Subject: Application for Minor Variance, Bell Canada
- 5052-5044 Wixson Street, Claremont Page 2 63
The proposed wall sign, identified as Attachment 3 to this report, replacing the existing
wall sign, requires a variance as the sign will be located on lands zoned for residential
use.
The request to replace the existing wall sign is supported. The use of residential lands
for a public utility, such as Bell Canada, is permitted by the City's zoning by-law in
accordance with the Public utilities section.
The proposed sign is to be located on the existing building and is replacing the existing
sign with a new corporate branding that is not-illuminated and is very sedate in its
design.

1. Application for minor variance to sign by-law as submitted by Pattison Sign Group

Object: Application for Sign permits Variance hearing for 1762 Fairport Rd and 5052-5044 Wixson Rd.
Dear Council members,
As per a code check made in May and conversation's with Amanda Smith in the pass month, this letter intends for d.
application of a sign permit variance for the above mentioned sites.
The two Bell Canada sites are respectively Zone R3 and R5 which does not allow signage on them. The existing
signage is therefore grandfathered. Our customer Bell Canada is changing it"s entire signage across the Country and the
existing signs are not part of the new design.
The signs we are proposing on both properties are a little over 4sq.feet only without Illumination. These are intender
to identify the -building and not necessary to promote the service neither as to advertise.
We (Pattison Sign Group and Bell Canada) feel that the above request is reasonable knowing the only the sign desigi
changes and that we are keeping a similar square footage as the existing signs.
If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me at 506-737-1787.
Thanking you in advance for your time and consideration, please accept Mr. Mrs. my most sincere regards,
Sebastien Gauvin,
Permit Coordinator

PICKERING of a MEMO
To: Amanda Smith August 25, 2009
Municipal Law Enforcement Officer II ,
From: Tyler Barnett
Senior Planner - Site Planning
Copy: Director, Planning & Development
Subject: Sign Variance Request from Bell Canada
1762 Fairport Road and 5022-5044 Wixon Road
City of Pickering
We have reviewed the proposed sign variances for both Bell Canada locations at 1762 Fairport
Road and 5052-5044 Wixon Road. We understand the variances are required as the buildings
are located on lands that are zoned for residential use. The use of residential lands for a public
utility, such as Bell Canada, is permitted by the City's zoning by-laws in accordance with the
Public utilities section.
The proposed signs are to be located on existing buildings and are replacing existing signage with
.a new corporate branding that is non-illuminated and is very sedate in its design. Therefore, the
Planning & Development Department has no objections to the requested sign variance.
