Request to Appear (Agenda Item VII)
Chairman Chrisman read the agenda item into the record as follows:
"Request to Appear by Ms. Tammie Davis, Media Buyer for Black, Gillock,
Langberg, representing General Homes."
Ms. Tammie Davis stated that she wished to discuss the sign request that had
been denied on October 11, 1988, for a Class 4 off-site sign to be located at Main
and Allen Drive in the Central Business District. She stated that the problem
General Homes has experienced relates to prospective buyers not knowing to turn
east on Main Street as they enter the city. Ms. Davis questioned whether the
concern of the Board was with the location or the design of the sign.
The Board reviewed the minutes of October 11, 1988, with regard to the request
by General Homes. The concern of the Board is with location of the sign rather
than the design of the sign. She asked if the City would consider placing a
highway sign showing that Main Street is indeed F.M. 2170. Mr. Del Ferro stated
that he would take this request back to staff for consideration.
