Public Hearing
Allentown Office Park (Agenda Item III)
Chairman Chrisman read the agenda item into the record as follows:
"Public Hearing - Consider request from Art Office Signs for a variance to
the City of Allen Sign Regulations Ordinance for property known as the
Allentown Office Park, 100 Allentown Parkway, Allen, Texas, to increase the
size of a requested off-site sign from the allowed 32 square feet to 40 square
feet."
Ms. Laura Anderson, Jerry Huffman Investments, representing the owners of the
Allentown Office Building, presented the request to the Board. The request is to
replace the sign that was previously on the property. She stated the request is
for a sign slightly larger (8 sq. feet) than the sign ordinance allows.
Chairman Chrisman opened the public hearing.
Ms. Carol Perkins, Kelley Lundeen, spoke in favor of the request.
With no one else wishing to speak for or against the request, Chairman Chrisman
closed the public hearing.
Board Member Kleinschmidt asked if the prior sign was also oversized. Mr. Del
Ferro stated that the prior sign was placed with the assumption that the property
was on-site to the development. This was in error, and staff has attempted to
correct the matter. This property is actually off-site, and is being permitted
according to the ordinance.
Board Member Crowe discussed the small difference between a 32 sq. foot sign and
the requested 40 sq. foot sign.
Discussion was held regarding the definition of on-site and off-site as related to
the property on the south side of Allentown Parkway.
MOTION: Upon a motion by Board Member Kleinschmidt and a second by Board
Member Hall, the Board voted 4 FOR and 1 OPPOSED to grant the
variance as requested.
