2. Consider, and act upon, request of a Sign Appeal Hearing from Racetrac seeking an
appeal of(3) sign permits denied on March 19, 2012. Racetrac is requesting a variance of the
City of Wylie Sign Ordinance #2009-21. The request is to install (3) marketing cases each
with an area of 60 sq. ft. for a total of 180 sq. ft. The marketing cases are enclosed cases that
allow for changeable copy/advertisements. Marketing cases are not currently recognized by
the City of Wylie Sign Ordinance. The use of marketing cabinets will exceed the 1:1 ratio
allowed in the City of Wylie Sign Ordinance.

Racetrac was rejected for. The rejection was due to the fact that Marketing Cases are not
currently recognized by the City of Wylie Sign Ordinance.

and the use and construction of the marketing cases. The cases will be used for changeable
copy/advertisements.
