Board Member Armand to move the meeting to the site of
the request at the Factory Outlet Mall, the Board voted
four (4) for and none (0) opposed. The motion carried.
After establishing the visibility line from the north coming
from McKinney to the subject site, the Board established the future
site of the requested sign and made size comparisons. Addressed
were safety factors concerning recognition of the site from motorists,
changing of lanes, exits from Highway 75 in a safe and orderly man-
ner. Additionally it was discussed that comparisons should be made
to the existing McDonalds sign of 396 square feet, 74 feet in height
to establish a reasonable feeling of face size and visibility from
the height that the Board felt the sign would need to be. The Board
then moved to a site north of the McDonalds sign location and dis-
cussed in great detail safety factors, face size, and height of the
existing McDonalds sign in relation to the requested Factory Outlet
Mall sign.
