Zoning Case No. SV9-13-83-5." Errol Flynn, Construction Manager for the Factory Outlet Mall presented this request to the Board. He pointed out that the sign package included signs that were allowable under the Sign Regulation Ordinance. The two signs in question for the variance are 648 square feet to be placed on Highway 75 and 391 square feet to be placed on Highway 121. He pointed out the necessity of visibility to the Mall coming from the south. If someone was looking for the Mall, the signs along these two points would show them the location before it was time to exit. Some concerns of the Board were that the height and size of the two signs in question were well exceeding the allowed in the Sign Regulations Ordinance, whether the visibility of the signs would be beneficial to the oncoming traffic on Hwy 75 and Hwy 121, and the need for these sizes of signs with the other proposed signs on the building. Chairman Alexander opened the Public Hearing. Errol Flynn, Construction Manager for the Factory Outlet Mall, pointed out the necessity of these signs for the visibility to the Mall. He stated that persons coming to the Mall for the first time might not be able to locate the Mall without being able to see these signs before exiting. Chairman Alexander closed the Public Hearing.
