Applicant Patrick Frost made the presentation to the Board. He explained that
the proposed sign is taller than the maximum height allowed by city sign
regulations; however, the overall size of the sign is smaller than the maximum
size allowed by the ordinance. The maximum allowable height is 6 feet and the
maximum allowable area is 600 square feet. The proposed sign is 13.2 feet in
height and the size of the sign is 340 square feet.
Chairman Clark opened the public hearing. No one was present to speak for or
against the variance request; therefore, Chairman Clark closed the public
hearing.
Building Official Dale Jackson stated that it should be noted that the sign in
question will be located in an Industrial park. He stated that it was staff's opinion
that the sign ordinance was not written for Industrial buildings, but was instead
written to regulate commercial and retail buildings. He stated that staff will check
with other cities to determine their sign regulations in Industrial districts and
propose appropriate changes to the sign ordinance in the future.
After some discussion among the Board, McCoy made a motion to approve the
variance as requested and Morman seconded the motion. The motion was
approved by a unanimous vote of 5-0.
ADJOURNMENT
A motion to adjourn was made by McCoy. The motion was seconded by Bullock
and approved by a unanimous vote of 5-0.
