Consider, and act upon, a variance to the City of Wylie Sign ordinance section 22-449 regarding Off-Premise development signs. These signs would be located in multiple locations, along Alanis Drive, South Ballard and along FM 544. Citizen Comments Mr. John Arnold, Developer of Construction, for Braddock Place, the applicant for the request, stated that the purpose for the temporary variance is to bring in more sales. Mr. Arnold stated they have even increased their advertising by $8,000 and still no luck with the sales. Mr. Arnold stated another builder wanted to develop there as well but backed out of the contract due to no traffic. Mr. Arnold stated these signs would be temporary due to all the construction going on in that area and once all that cleared, they would remove them. Mr. Arnold stated they never tried using the kiosk's because they don't catch the eye of everyone and that is why they wanted to use these temporary signs. Staff Comments Mr. Killebrew stated that Off-Premise signs are not allowed. Mr. Killebrew also stated that these signs are not small in size, they are 4x4 and 4x8. Mr. Killebrew did mention that no other builders have come in complaining about sales or receiving less traffic due to the construction. Mrs. 011ie stated that in 2007 Council adopted Builder Directional Sign program, which was to eliminate the bandit signs. Mrs. 011ie stated that the kiosk signs are for the builders and we have multiple locations.
