Public Hearing -
Variance Request by
Martin S. Belz (Agenda Item IV)
Chairman Alexander read the request into the record as follows:
"Public Hearing -On variance to the Sign Regulations as
requested by Martin S. Belz, Trustee, Factory Outlet Mall.
This 66.70 acre tract is located in the .Jonathan Phillips
Survey, Abstract No. 719, being further described as approx-
mately 1,600 feet south of the intersection of State Highway
121 and U.S. Highway 75. 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.
