Variance Request Summary Mr. John Blassingame, Jr. is the applicant for a variance request regarding the construction of a monument sign in front of a new commercial building located at 609 Cheek Sparger Road. The applicant has submitted an application for a variance to allow him to construct the monument sign nearer to the front property line than is allowed by the sign regulations. Mr. Blassingame recently completed construction of a new office building at the southeast corner of the Cheek Sparger/Brown Trail intersection and has contracted with Hightech Signs, located in Bedford, Texas, to construct a new monument sign. Hightech Signs has applied for a building permit for the new monument sign. However, the Building Inspection Department has not approved the sign permit application due to the location of the proposed sign, which violates the required eight foot set back from the front property line. Approval of the variance request will allow construction of the sign in the location shown on the attached site plan, which is approximately two feet from the front property line. Current Reaulations A monument signs is required to have an eight foot set back from the front property line. The proposed location is approximately two feet behind the front property line. The proposed monument sign complies with all other regulations for size, height and masonry base and columns. Attached is a copy of the specifications for a monument sign as contained in the Land Development Code. Also, attached is a drawing of the proposed monument sign. Staff mailed notices to the seven owners of property situated within 200 feet of the applicant's property. At this time, staff has received one letter of support regarding this request which is attached to this agenda briefing. Section 1.15.B of the Colleyville Land Development Code provides the authority of the Sign Board of Appeals for approval of a variance request to Colleyville Sign Regulations. The following is an excerpt of the applicable language form the Land Development Code: Authoritv of the Sian Board of Appeals - The Sign Board of Appeals shall have the authority to hear and decide on requests for a variance from the requirements contained in Chapter 7 - Sign Regulations of this Land Development Code. The Sign Board of Appeals shall also have the authority to hear and decide an appeal of an administrative decision on a regulation contained in Chapter 7 - Sign Regulations of this Land Development Code. The authority established under this paragraph shall be applicable to a definition contained in Chapter 2 - Definitions of this Land Development Code required for the administration and enforcement of the provisions of Chapter 7 - Sign Regulations. Conclusion The Cheek Sparger/Brown Trail intersection was reconstructed a few years ago to improve traffic flow at this busy intersection. The Cheek Sparger roadway in front of the applicant's property is constructed to the standards of the Land Development Code and currently has four driving lanes, a dedicated left turn lane and a right turn deceleration lane. There are no additional plans for widening the Cheek Sparger roadway adjacent to the applicant's property. To the east of the applicant's property, Cheek Sparger Road transitions to a two-lane roadway with no curb. The alternative location to constructing the sign as proposed by the applicant would be to move the sign nearer to the parking lot. However, damage to the sign from vehicle- overhang would present a potential maintenance problem to the property owner. Another alternative would be to construct the sign in one of the parking spaces in the parking lot. This would cause the loss of one parking space and the advertising message of the sign would be blocked by other parked vehicles. The location of the proposed monument sign does not appear to present any vehicle visibility problems. RECOMMENDATION Approval of the request as submitted. Staff has no objection to the approval of the variance to allow construction of the monument sign in the location proposed by the applicant. However, information that may become available at the public hearing would have a significant impact on the staff evaluation, which could alter the staff recommendation. ATTACHMENTS . Location Map .
