Chairman William Taylor called the meeting to order.
The application of Paul Diephius at location of 104 E.
Edgewood was deferred to the December meeting due to lack of
information needed regarding setback from FM 2351.
Chairman Taylor called for public input regarding request
from Rebecca Rodriquez for request from sign ordinance of
existing sign with area of 41. 94 sq.ft. (maximum allowed by
ordinance of 30 sq.ft. ) location of 1542 Sunset.
Ms. Rodriquez stated she was aware of having to obtain a
sign permit but installed the 12" letters because she
thought she was alright with the amount of square footage.
She stated she will take down the sign or part of the
letters if necessary. Discussion followed between Ms.
Rodriquez and the board members at length.
Chairman Taylor called for public input regarding request
from Barbara Andrews, Microcomputer Technology Institute,
for request to sign ordinance for eight weeks per calendar
year for 216 sq.ft. temporary sign (banner) at location of
17164 Blackhawk Boulevard.
Ms. Andrews stated she needs to continue the waiver
regarding the banner requested last year and feels she
cannot come before the board and request a sign variance
four times per year. She told the board the school's
enrollment increases dramatically and the banner is a
definite catalyst for membership and her school needs the
additional signage to survive. Discussion followed between
Ms. Andrews and the board members at length.
