° The meeting was called to order by Mr,. 'Foster.
The case to. be heard was a variance on a marquee sign for the new theatre at
Captains Corner Shopping Center. The theatre group, called Seven-Tex Internation-
al, Inc. , was•.represented by Mr. Fred. McAllister, President and Mr, .Chris Perner,
Vice President:
The only regulation in our zoning ordinance no. 174 -regarding size of signs is in-
' eluded under C-1, paragraph 4, permitted uses, page 39, "sign business, illumi-
nated or non-illuminated, not to exceed 50 square feet in area and 25 feet in
height which directs attention .to a commodity or service conducted, sold, or
offered upon the same. lot."
Messrs. McAllister and Perner brought to the meeting two sketches of a new sign
Captains Corner property. These sketches are included
they propose erecting on the
as part of these minutes. The proposed sign is 8 by 10 feet or 80 square feet in
area, which exceeds the 50 square feet maximum in the regulation. They stated that
a sign this large -was minimal to advertise the movies and include information on
what pictures are showing ,at each of the two theatres. Professional sign builders
claim that letters must be at least 8 inches -high. to be read. One sketch shows a
comparison of an existing sign advertising the Captains Corner Shopping Center with
' the proposed sign for the movies. The existing sign exceeds the regulationifor
height and size. 1
Mr. Taylor made a. motion that because of the special use of this movie sign that a
variance be granted allowing it to be erected 8 by 10 feet in size. Seconded by
Rummel. Motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Taylor made a motion that our Board request the P&ZC, and/or City._Counci1, to
draw up a definitive regulation on signs. The present regulation is-vague and in-
complete. Seconded and carried unanimously.
