DESCO to Appeal Sign Ordinance Ruling This Afternoon

Dispute is over the size of signs at the Colonial MarketPlace in Ladue.

The DESCO Group will be before the Ladue Zoning Board of Adjustment today in City Hall at 4 p.m. appealing the ordinance on the size of signs above their stores.

Ladue's ordinance calls for a maximum of 12 feet; DESCO wants uniform sizes of 24 feet.

The issue is over the size of the backdrop of the signs. DESCO's signs are 12 feet for each tenant in the new center, but a shaded background, highlighting those names is under dispute.
