Wayland City officials are starting to get a bit impatient with Robinson Dental Care over a sign on West Superior Street in front of Wayland Family Dentistry.
The structure is in violation of the local sign ordinance and it’s been at least two years since anything has been done about the issue.
Robinson Dental opened a clinic at 404 West Superior, its former location before it moved to new digs on Reno Drive several years ago. The clinic was opened to serve patients who struggle to afford dental care or don’t have proper insurance.
Though city officials say they support the concept of the clinic, the sign must conform to the same rules as all other businesses within the city limits.
Right now, there is a cloth draped over the former sign of Robinson Dental, which was allowed on a temporary basis until a more permanent one could be installed, but there has been no movement on the issue.
City Planning Commissioner Sam Dykstra asked City Manager Joshua Eggleston and Professional Code Inspections if anything can be done to resolve the issue.
