The Chadds Ford Township Zoning Hearing Board granted
approval last week for the Old Wooden Market and Deli to use a freestanding
sign that previous markets had been able to use.
Township code limits businesses in the area to one sign, but
a second may be used with zoning board approval. Approval is also needed for
continued use of a nonconforming sign by a successor business.
Deli owner Bill Bondarchuk testified that the size, shape,
dimensions and lighting of his sign would be the same as those used when the
shop was the Cattie Shack and the Wawa before that.
“All I want to do is cover up the old name,” he said.
Bondarchuk had already gotten approval from the Historic and
Architectural Review Board for the sign. HARB approval was needed because the
deli is in the historic district.
The shop is in the strip with First Keystone Bank and the
U.S. Post Office on Route 1 between Creek and Station Way roads. The sign, on
the Station Way Road side, is 31 and seven-eights inches high and 68 and
one-sixteenth inches wide. It stands roughly 13 feet above ground level.
Bondarchuk bought the shop from Kevin Cattie in September
2009. Cattie opened his Cattie Shack a year after Wawa moved out.
