Item No. `
Date: 7-12-10
Item/Subject: ORDINANCE, Amending Section 260-11.A (11) of the Code of the City
of Bangor, Sign Ordinance
Responsible Department: Code
Commentary: In 1985 Shaw's Grocery Store located on Springer Dr. in a building
developed by Frost and Webber Associates. At that time Spring Dr. dead ended at the
Shaw's property line. Subsequent development has extended Springer Dr. and it now
connects with Longview, Frost and Stillwater with over a million square feet of retail
space on the north side of Hogan Road between I95 and Stillwater Avenue. In 1985,
Ray Cota, representing the developer, asked the Council to designate Springer Drive as
a commercial industrial park, under the sign ordinance, and to name the commercial
industrial park Shaw's Plaza.
Mr. Cota, again representing the owner developer of the 1985 project, has requested
the Shaw's Plaza be renamed Christmas Tree Plaza.
Shortly before Mr. Cota came forward with this request, City staff was informally
advised by MDOT the industrial park sign would have to change in light of Shaw's no
longer operating at the Springer Drive location. The park sign, with the name in
copyrighted script along with the corporate logo, constitutes a technical violation the
Maine Travelers Information Act relating to off premise signage. In addition to the name
and logo issue, the sign, as it reaches its 25th year, is in need of refurbishing and repair.
The sign is the property of the City of Bangor under the ordinance; however, all costs
associated with a name change and repairs are borne by the park's tenants that benefit
from the commercial industrial park signage.
