THIS EVENING, AND I WILL TAKE GREAT PLEASURE IN GAVELING IN OUR SIGN BOARD MEETING THIS EVENING.
[1. Call to Order]
[00:00:10]
I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY ADMINISTRATIVE COMMENTS, AND THERE WILL BE NO CHAIRMAN COMMENTS.[5. Consider: Approving the minutes from the March 7, 2024 Sign Board Meeting]
2024 MEETING.WOW, WE HAVEN'T HAD ONE IN A WHILE.
I'M GLAD WE'RE HAVING ONE ON HIS BIG NIGHT THOUGH.
SO, ANY QUESTIONS? COMMENTS ON THOSE NOTES? NO. ALL RIGHT, MR. CHAIRMAN, I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE ITEM NUMBER FIVE ON THE AGENDA, A MOTION.
DO WE HAVE A SECOND? LET'S GO AHEAD AND VOTE, PLEASE.
I WILL GO AHEAD AND MOVE ON TO THE LAST ITEM ON THE AGENDA.
[6. Consider: SV24-0003, Sign Variance for a monument sign for Cornerstone Plaza, located at 2707 E. Southlake Blvd., Southlake, Texas. ]
ITEM NUMBER SIX CONSIDERATION OF SB 24-0003 SIGNED VARIANCE FOR A MONUMENT SIGN FOR CORNERSTONE PLAZA.THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN AND BOARD.
THIS IS A REQUEST FOR A SIGN VARIANCE AT CORNERSTONE PLAZA.
HERE'S THE LOCATION ON SOUTHLAKE BOULEVARD, BUT HERE'S AN AERIAL VIEW SHOWING THE LOCATION OF THE EXISTING SIGN AT SOUTH NOLAN DRIVE AND EAST SOUTHLAKE BOULEVARD. THIS IS A SITE PLAN SHOWING THE LOCATION OF THE NEW MONUMENT SIGN. THAT WILL BE.
IT'S BEING REQUESTED TO REPLACE AN EXISTING ONE.
THE VARIANCE REQUESTED IS A REDUCTION IN SETBACK ONLY FROM RIGHT OF WAY.
THE REQUIRED SETBACK IS 12FT, BUT THEY ARE REQUESTING EIGHT FEET INSTEAD.
IF YOU GO BACK TO THE SITE PLAN, SOME OF THAT ENTAILS KIND OF THE PURPOSE AND THE REASON WHY KIND OF DEALING WITH TWO, TWO DIFFERENT EASEMENTS HERE IN ONE PLACE.
YOU HAVE A 20-FOOT DRAINAGE EASEMENT TO THE SOUTH AND A TEN-FOOT UTILITY EASEMENT TO THE NORTH.
IT'S CERTAINLY CAUSED SOME DIFFICULTY THERE IN TRYING TO FIND THE BEST LOCATION.
PER THE DEVELOPMENT ENGINEER WHEN I SPOKE TO DURING THIS PROCESS, IT WAS PREFERABLE THAT IF THERE WAS ONE EASEMENT IT WAS IN, IT SHOULD BE IN THE UTILITY EASEMENT. THE DRAINAGE EASEMENT SHOULD BE KEPT CLEAR.
THIS IS THE PROPOSED SIGN AGAIN BE A MULTI-PHASE SIGN FOR VARIOUS TENANTS IN THE BUILDING.
THE ONLY REQUEST TODAY IS FOR THE SETBACK.
THIS IS THE EXISTING MONUMENT SIGN TO BE REMOVED.
AND THE APPLICANT IS HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE.
SO, FOR BETTER OR FOR WORSE, THE ONLY VARIANCE BEING REQUESTED IS A SETBACK VARIANCE.
AND THE NEW SIGN IS ACTUALLY A LITTLE BIT FARTHER SETBACK THAN THE OLD SIGN.
YES, SIR. IT'S AN ADDITIONAL THREE FEET.
WE SHOULD CLARIFY THAT ADDITIONAL THREE FEET FURTHER THAN PREVIOUSLY PLACED.
OKAY. SO, WHAT IS THE UTILITY EASEMENT? IS IT SOMETHING UNDERGROUND OR IS IT OVERHEAD? DO YOU KNOW WHAT. WHAT'S ACTUALLY THERE? I'M NOT SURE WHAT'S THERE.
WHAT I DO KNOW IS THAT THE UTILITY COMPANIES HAVE ALL SIGNED OFF ON IT.
I BELIEVE THAT'S WHY THEY PREFERRED.
SO, THEY'RE SAYING IT'S ADEQUATE FOR THEM.
IT'S ADEQUATE. THE PLACEMENT FOR THEM? YES. AND IT STILL REQUIRES AN ENCROACHMENT AGREEMENT, BUT THAT'S BEING PROCESSED CURRENTLY.
ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. REAGAN.
I'M ASSUMING THE APPLICANT IS IN THE GALLERY RIGHT NOW.
DOES ANYONE WANT TO HEAR FROM THE APPLICANT? I BET THEY'VE GOT A GREAT STORY TO TELL.
WOULD THE APPLICANT MIND COMING FORWARD TO THE PODIUM? THIS PROBABLY WON'T TAKE LONG, BUT PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD.
AND THEN I THINK ONE OF OUR COMMISSIONERS WOULD LIKE TO HEAR THE STORY.
GOOD EVENING, COMMISSIONERS. THANK YOU FOR SEEING US TONIGHT.
I'M WITH LEGACY SIGNS OF TEXAS.
I LIVE AT 7417 WOODHAVEN DRIVE IN NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, 76182.
SO, TELL US WHAT THE STORY IS, WHY WE WANT TO MOVE THIS IN THE FIRST PLACE.
SO, THE ORIGINAL SIGN IF YOU CAN GO BACK TO THAT IS A SINGLE TENANT SIGN.
IT'S RATHER OLD AND IT'S, YOU KNOW.
[00:05:05]
YOU KNOW, THIS PROCESS STARTED, YOU KNOW, GOING BACK TO THE ENCROACHMENT WITH THE, WITH UTILITIES.THERE'RE SEVERAL UTILITIES THERE.
THERE'S SOME UNDERGROUND, THERE'S SOME OVERHEAD.
THERE'S WE HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF BOTH.
BUT JUST, YOU KNOW, JUST AN OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE IT LOOK BETTER, TO MAKE IT LOOK NICER, HAVE A, HAVE A MONUMENT SIGN THAT WOULD, YOU KNOW, THAT WOULD REPRESENT THE REST OF THE TENANTS THAT ARE THERE AND GIVE THEM AN OPPORTUNITY TO, YOU KNOW, TO HAVE SOME, SOME STREET SIDE ADVERTISEMENT.
AND I'M SURE IT'S AN UPDATED LIGHTING AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
IT'S ALL LED. WHAT'S THERE NOW IS CURRENTLY FLUORESCENT TUBE.
AND WE DIDN'T MANUFACTURE THAT SIGN IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT THIS ONE.
AND THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT CAME UP WITH ATMOS IN GENERAL AS THEY WERE CONCERNED, IF THEY HAD TO COME IN AND YOU KNOW, WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF WE HAD TO DIG A HOLE? THIS SIGN IS DOES HAVE A POLE THAT GOES IN IT WITH A CONCRETE PIER.
SO, YOU KNOW, STABILITY WAS NO LONGER A QUESTION CONCERNING THAT.
AND THEIR ENGINEERS SIGNED OFF ON THAT FOR US.
NO OTHER QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT.
ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU FOR SHOWING UP TONIGHT.
THAT'S ALWAYS VERY THANK YOU FOR HALF OF LIFE IS SHOWING UP.
AND OFTEN IF YOU DON'T, WE TABLE THE CASE.
ANY OTHER DELIBERATION QUESTION COMMENTS BEFORE WE ENTERTAIN A MOTION ON.
21ST 22ND YEAR, 21-YEAR SIGNBOARD.
MR. CHAIRMAN. I MAKE A MOTION.
WE APPROVE ITEM NUMBER SIX ON OUR AGENDA.
DO WE HAVE A SECOND? ALL RIGHT, LET'S VOTE PLEASE.
CONGRATULATIONS AND GOOD LUCK.
ASSUMING YOU MAKE THE NEXT CITY COUNCIL MEETING ON MAY 21ST.
CORRECT? CORRECT. ALL RIGHT. YES.
CITY COUNCIL. CITY COUNCIL 21ST MAY 21ST.
