SECOND. PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE.
[5. Consider: SV22-0004, Sign Variance for Natuzzi located at 1600 E. Southlake Blvd., Suite 100, Southlake, Texas.]
AND THE ONLY ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS ITEM NUMBER 5 SV 22-0004.A SIGNED VARIANCE FOR NATUZZI AND GO AHEAD AND CALL THE APPLICANT UP.
WE SAW THIS IN THE WORK SESSION AS WELL.
YOU'RE THE LONE SURVIVOR TONIGHT, MA'AM.
HOW ARE YOU? SEEMS TO BE A COMMON DENOMINATOR.
YES. AND SO THERE'S A PATTERN GOING HERE.
SO IF YOU COULD GIVE US YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS AND DO YOUR BEST TO FOLLOW THE PATTERN, EVEN THOUGH IT'S KIND OF BEEN A LITTLE CRAZY TONIGHT.
OKAY, JANICE HORAK 1010 EAST DALLAS ROAD GRAPEVINE.
THAT'S THE LOCATION OF OUR BUSINESS.
ALL RIGHT? AND I'M ASSUMING YOU DON'T HAVE A PRESENTATION, BUT YOU'RE WILLING TO ANSWER QUESTIONS. AND I GUESS PROBABLY THE PRIMARY DRIVER HERE IS PEOPLE DON'T KNOW WHAT NATUZZI EDITIONS IS AND YOU NEED TO GET THEM IN FOR HOME FURNISHINGS.
ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? WHY DON'T YOU GET RID OF THE ADDITIONS AND PUT THE HOME FURNISHINGS UP THERE IN ITS PLACE AND THEN YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IT BECAUSE ADDITIONS DOESN'T TELL ME ANYTHING ABOUT WHAT NATUZZI IS.
THAT'S I MEAN, THAT'S JUST THEIR NAME THAT THEY ARE RECOGNIZED BY NATIONALLY AND INTERNATIONALLY. IT'S ACTUALLY AN ITALIAN COMPANY.
SO PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD, RIGHT? IT DOESN'T MAKE A LOT OF SENSE, BUT I GUESS IT'S STRAIGHTFORWARD.
YOU KNOW, MY ONLY COMMENT, I GUESS, IS I LOOK AT THIS AND I THINK MOST OF US UP HERE, OTHER THAN THE FACT THAT WE PREVIOUSLY SAW THE CASE REQUESTING SIGN APPROVAL FROM THE TUESDAY EDITIONS, I DON'T THINK THE SIGN AS IT'S POSITIONED OR THE SIZE OF IT IS GOING TO INCREASE THE VISIBILITY OF ALL ALONG SOUTHLAKE BOULEVARD.
I JUST I KNOW THERE'S A QUESTION ABOUT WHAT NATUZZI EDITIONS IS, BUT THIS DOESN'T TO ME SEEM TO CONTRIBUTE TO ENHANCING THE KNOWLEDGE OF WHAT'S INSIDE THE STORE ITSELF.
HAS THAT BEEN A DISCUSSION TOPIC AT ALL ABOUT HOW YOU.
I SUGGESTED THAT WE PUT IT UP UNDERNEATH THE NATUZZI EDITIONS, BUT THEY WANTED IT SEPARATED. AND SO I YOU KNOW, I'M JUST HERE REPRESENTING WHAT THEY HAD ASKED FOR AT THAT POINT. SO MAYBE ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE COULD DO, IF YOU'D BE OKAY WITH IT, IS SUGGEST FOR CITY COUNCIL, ASSUMING THIS GOES FORWARD, THAT THEY SHOW AN ALTERNATE VERSION WITH IT MOVED UP AND THEN CITY COUNCIL COULD MAKE THE CHOICE ASSUMING THEY WERE GOING TO APPROVE THE ADDITION. ANYWAY, I WOULD LIKE TO DO THAT.
I THINK THAT'S A GREAT IDEA AND IT MIGHT SHOW A LITTLE ENCOURAGEMENT TO THEM TO MOVE IT UP ABOVE THAT.
YEAH. AND IT ALSO SEEMS LIKE TO ME THAT SINCE IT'S NOT LIGHTED, IT'S NOT GOING TO DO A WHOLE LOT OF GOOD. SO IF YOU MOVED IT UP AND LIT IT, IT SEEMS LIKE WE PROBABLY CHANGE IT QUITE A BIT. YEAH, YEAH.
THE MORE OPTIONS YOU CAN GIVE COUNCIL, THE BETTER IT INCREASES YOUR CHANCES OF SUCCESS.
SO I THINK THAT'S PROBABLY A GOOD I THINK THAT'S A GREAT SOLUTION FOR THEM.
YOU KNOW, IF THEY CAN MOVE IT, IF THEY WOULD BE WILLING TO MOVE IT UP AND THEN ALLOW US TO ILLUMINATE IT, I THINK IT WOULD GIVE THEM A LOT MORE VISIBILITY AND RECOGNITION.
SO I WILL DEFINITELY TALK TO THEM ABOUT THAT TOMORROW.
ALL RIGHT. VERY GOOD. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FOR THE APPLICANT? ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, MA'AM. THANK YOU.
I GUESS I WOULD, YOU KNOW, WITH Y'ALL'S COMMENTS, I MEAN, I'M OKAY WITH IT GOING FORWARD WITH THOSE PROPOSED OPTIONS.
I THINK THAT GIVES CITY COUNCIL THE THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO WHAT THEY THINK IS APPROPRIATE.
I MEAN, OTHERWISE, IT WOULD BE KIND OF AWKWARD.
I KIND OF AGREE. IT'S PROBABLY NOT GOING TO DO A LOT, BUT IT IS WHAT IT IS.
SO I'D BE IN FAVOR OF THAT WITH THE PROPOSED ADDITIONS OR OPTIONS.
SO I'D BE WILLING TO, I GUESS, ENTERTAIN A MOTION IF WE COULD.
MR. CHAIRMAN, I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE ITEM NUMBER FIVE, CASE NUMBER SV 22-0004 WITH A RECOMMENDATION THAT THE CONSIDERATIONS OF A DIFFERENT LOCATION OF THE SIGNAGE BE PRESENTED AS THIS GOES TO COUNCIL AND A CONSIDERATION TO LIGHT THE SIGN AS IN COMBINATION TO WAYS TO INCREASE THE VISIBILITY AND AWARENESS OF WHAT NATUZZI EDITIONS DOES.
[00:05:02]
HAVE A MOTION DO I HAVE A SECOND.SECOND. PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE.
THANK YOU, MA'AM. SIGN BOARD MEETING IS ADJOURNED.
