2. Consider, and act upon, a request for a Sign Appeal Hearing from New Hope Church
seeking an appeal of one (1) sign permit denied on October 26, 2012. New Hope Church is
requesting a variance of the City of Wylie Sign Ordinance #2009-21. The request is to install
one (1) 30' x 4' Banner on the front of the Church facing Brown Street. The maximum
allowed banner size per the sign ordinance is 32 sq. ft.
Staff Discussion
Brian Rogers recused himself from the discussion and voting. Keith Spurgeon, pastor for New
Hope presented the need for the size of the banner. According to Pastor Spurgeon the sign is
approximately 100 ft. off the road on the front of the building. There will be no safety or traffic
issues caused by the sign. The sign is necessary due to the fact that Brown Street is under
heavy road construction and their signs were removed. The board agreed that as long as he
kept the banner in good shape and did not let it get in disrepair that the banner could stay on the
building until the roadwork was far enough along to allow them to install a permanent monument
sign at the road.
Board Action
Billy McClendon made a motion to approve the banner on the building as long as it was kept in
good repair until such time that they could install a permanent monument sign at the road. David
Williams seconded the motion. A vote was taken and the motion passed 6 - 0.
3. Consider, and act upon, a request for a Standard Fire Lane Variance Hearing from North
Texas Municipal Water District. They are seeking approval from the board to modify the
requirements of a standard fire as to the width and material due to the fact that the proposed
drive serves an unmanned building that is accessed only for maintenance and repairs.
Staff Discussion
Joe Kotrola represented the NTMWD, the request is for a change in width and construction
materials of the fire lane for the building located at 2601 Skyview Lane on the backside of the
NTMWD property. The fire lane services a building that is unmanned and is accessed only for
maintenance and repairs. There are three (3) sixty inch (60") raw water lines that date back to
the 1970's. The need to access the water lines for repair is the main reason for the change in
width and materials. Decreasing the width of the fire lane to fifteen feet (15') and using crushed
gravel instead of concrete will make access quicker in the event of a water leak. The crushed
gravel road will be designed to support large crane equipment which will be needed to access
the pump station when pumps are required to be pulled for service. Steve Seddig represented
the City of Wylie Fire Department and was not opposed to their request. The board was in
agreement that the change in size and materials of the fire lane would be acceptable.
Board Action
Michael Grubbs made a motion to approve the request for a change in fire lane size and
construction materials. Zachery Herrera seconded the motion. A vote was taken and the motion
passed 7 —0.
