Application for Variance from the Sign By-law

Background:
Please be advised that John Byberg, as the owner of the Pepperberries Bistro, applied
for a permit to erect a billboard sign on the south side of Highway #7, immediately to the
west of the east intersection of Highway #7 and Concession 6 Road. The proposed
sign is three metres high and five metres wide and will be mounted three metres above
the ground.
Billboard signs are defined in By-law 2439/87 (Signs) as any sign used to advertise a
business, product or service not necessarily found or sold on the premises on which it is
located. This sign proposed by John Byberg is considered a billboard because it is
advertising a business that is located in the hamlet of Brooklin.
Also, billboards are only allowed in commercial, mixed commercial and industrial areas.
The Sign By-law specifically prohibits billboards in agricultural and residential areas
which is where the sign is purported to be located.
Staff are not able to approve this Sign Permit Application because the Sign By-law
prohibits billboards in agricultural and residential areas. However, Section 99(5) of the
Municipal Act states:
The municipality may authorize minor variances from the by-law (sign by-
law) if in the opinion of the municipality, the general intent and purpose of
the by-law are maintained.
I have attached for your information the following documentation:
1.
An E-Mail dated November 3, 2003 from John Byberg submitting an
application for a variance from the Sign By-law.
2.
A copy of the design of the proposed billboard sign showing the message that
will be on each side of the sign.
3.
A map showing the location of the proposed billboard sign.

Appeal of Sign Application
Dear Bruce,
My name is John Byberg and I own Pepperberries Bistro, a fine dining
establishment in Brooklin. I have applied for a sign to be put on Mr. Lees
property east of Greenwood, and I have been turned down from the city of
Pickering. MTO is on side with the signage. Mr Lee has agreed to the sign as
well. There are other large fully lit billboard signs on the Kings Highway.
One near the Paddock garage, and another on Dutchmasters land east of
Greenwood. Another is just west of Hwy 23 which has been put up within the
last 4 years. My sign will be well maintained as our restaurant has a
standard to uphold. Thanks Very Much for your consideration on this matter.
John Byberg
