FRIENDSWOOD BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT
March 12, 1974
The following Board members were present:
Mr. Bruce Foster - Co-Chairman
Mr. George Rummel, Secretary
Mr. William H. Taylor
Mrs. Bernice Box
Members absent were: Mrs. Ivy Fossler
Mr. William Dykes
Mr. Ray Nelson
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-
cluded 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
they propose erecting on the Captains Corner property. These sketches are included
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 regulation for
height and size.
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 Council, to
draw up a definitive regulation on signs. The present regulation is vague and in-
complete. Seconded and carried unanimously.
Meeting adjourned.
