Case History
- March 24, 2006:
Mueller’s sign is still up
- April 6, 1992:
The Commonwealth Court affirmed the decision of the Common Pleas
Court, except as to sign #1, which the Court granted an
unconditional variance
- Reagan and Korngold then
appealed to the Commonwealth Court
- October 1990:
Reagan and Korngold separately appealed to the Court of Common
Pleas, which consolidated the appeal and affirmed the ZBA
- The ZBA declined to issue a
second variance to Korngold (#2), reasoning that a complete
demolition of a non-conforming sign extinguished the right to that
sign
- The ZBA reasoned the L & I had
erred in granting a permit to Mueller because that sign was within
500 feet of yet another advertising sign
-
October 19,
1990: On appeal, the ZBA
granted one sign permit (#1), condition to the removal of the sign
that was within 500 feet (Mueller’s sign)
- December 12, 1988:
L & I refused the applications on the basis that the signs would be
within 500 feet of other signs, in violation of Section 14-1604
(2)(a)(1), Philadelphia Code
- October 17, 1988:
Korngold then applied for permits to replace the removed signs
- October 15-16, 1988:
Reagan, without informing Korngold, secured leases and permits at
two nearby locations (Mueller and Krain) and then removed the signs
on Korngold’s land
- October, 1988:
Korngold was unable to agree to terms with Reagan, the company that
leased the signs
- Korngold owned two
non-conforming advertising signs
