Church in Historic District upgrades to LED sign despite permission being denied
A large LED sign was recently installed behind a wooden sign at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church on the 300 block of Locust Street, which is in the Columbia Borough Historic District.
A sticker on the side of the sign’s casing displays the manufacturer’s name and contact information.
Council denied a proposed LED-lighted sign at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, 340 Locust St. Glenn Shaeffer, Historic Architectural Review Board chairman, asked that council create an amendment not allowing this type of sign in the future.
“There are no other signs like this in the historic district and allowing it would open the door for others and have an impact on the historic nature of the district,” Shaeffer said. “The historic district should not look like the Las Vegas strip.”
Council members Kelly Murphy and Cle Berntheizel removed themselves from the vote because they are members of the church.
HERE is a video showing the manufacture and operation of various LED signs from ADvantageLED Signs.
