ALLEN SIGN CONTROL BOARD
JANUARY 24, 1983 PAGE 2
Paul Limmel, with E. M. Wood Signs, presented the request for
Murray Development Company to the Board. He explained that the two
signs are temporary directional signs advertising a residential
subdivision and told them where the company proposed that said
signs be placed. He further explained to the Board that the developer
feels that these signs should be larger than the 32 square feet
allowable in the Sign Ordinance so that they can better be noticed.
Chairman Alexander opened the Public Hearing.
No one appeared to speak either for or against this request.
Chairman Alexander closed the Public Hearing.
The Board discussed the request and felt that there is no
compelling hardshkp on the developer that would cause them to need
a variance to the Sign Ordinance. The Board felt that if the develop-
er places a sign in accordance with the existing Sign Regulations
he will be competing on an equal basis with other developers.
MOTION: Upon a motion by Board Member Armand and second by Board
Member Kirkindoll, the Board voted five (5) for and none
(0) opposed to deny this request for two off-site directional
sign variances. The motion carried.
Other Business:
There was some discussion upon recommending to the City Council
updating the Sign Ordinance to include the use and/or regulation of
park benches as signs or advertising. It was the concensus of the
Board that a Workshop Session be held on this concern after their next
Called Meeting on February 8, 1983.
Adjournment:
MOTION: Upon a motion by Board Member Kirkindoll and second by
Board Member Armand, the Board voted five (5) for and
none (0) opposed to adjourn the Called Meeting of the
Allen Sign Control Board at 8:35 p.m.
These minutes approved on the 8th day of February 1983.
