variance to Section 22-444(7) & 22-445(6) of the Sign Ordinance to allow for the
placement of two movement control pole signs with a max height of 8' and max
width of 4'.Property located at 807 Woodbridge Parkway. ZBA 2020-14
Staff Comments
Mr. Molina stated that the subject property is located at 807 Woodbridge Parkway.
The applicant is seeking a variance to allow for two movement control pole signs with a
maximum height of eight feet and maximum width of four feet.
The purpose of the signs is to give notice to parents and students of the Wylie High School not to
use Pet Supplies Plus access as a drop-off or pickup site.
According to the Wylie Police Department stopping in a Fire lane or access drive is not an
enforceable offense. Additionally, during pick-up times, staff observed that vehicle stacking did
not significantly affect traffic flow or access to the site.
Public comment forms were mailed to six property owners. One comment form was received in
favor and no comment forms received in opposition of the request.
Board Discussion
Mr. Brad Quine, Quine and Associates, Inc and Mr. Roger Whan, 2602 Lakeside Drive,
McKinney, applicants for the request. Mr. Whan stated that the current school year is lighter than
last year, parents use the access along the side of the building and in front of the building as a
drop off for students.
Board Members discussed different options for signs. Mr. Quine stated that an option considered
to include towing will be enforced upon those dropping off students. Board Members encouraged
applicants to communicate the concern with the Wylie Independent School District.
