Doug Miller, the owner of the property, came forward to present the case and brief the Board members and stated they would like this to be resolved tonight. Board member Reynolds stated the applicant has addressed the safety concerns. He questioned staff if the road is expanded, will the proposed sign location still be in a location that does not have any problems with visibility with the widened road? Ron Ruthven replied the sign would still meet the visibility requirements even with the proposed widening of the road. Board member Reynolds stated if the applicant is willing to accept staffs recommendation for the sign location, so that there is not a visibility triangle issue and there will not be one in the future. Ron Ruthven concurred. Board member Reynolds questioned staff if the applicant will still have to have a variance given the location that staff has recommended? Ron Ruthven replied yes, to meet the side yard setback requirements. Board member Reynolds stated the applicant can not help the way the lot is shaped and he stated he is in favor of the request. Board member Moore questioned Mr. Archie regarding if he owns the other proposed building? Mr. Archie replied yes. Board member Moore questioned if the other new building would have a Hall Johnson address? Mr. Archie replied it would have a 1211 Hall Johnson address. Board member Moore stated to staff this is an off premise sign, the address is for the business is a Hall Johnson address but the sign is being placed on Bogart. Mr. Archie replied the sign is intended to be shared by the building that was just constructed by Mr. Miller and the final proposed building. Chairman McNosky questioned staff regarding what is the definition of an off premise sign? Ron Ruthven replied off premise is typically a sign that is on a property that is not owned by the property owner for which it is advertising. Chairman McNosky stated for clarity that this is not an off premise sign because the property owner is advertising his own business. Board member Munson stated the sign for which is being considered is going to be on the property which is owned by the property owner, however, the final proposed building will be advertising services on this same sign and it will not be owned by the property owner. Therefore, the property owner for the new business will need to request a sign variance to advertise their services off site. Board member Munson questioned Mr. Archie regarding if there will be City of Colleyville Page 2 Printed on 9/12/2007 Sign Board of Appeals Minutes -Final July 12, 2007 room on the sign to advertise the final proposed building, business? Mr. Archie replied the understanding is to take care of this tonight, and the sign is intended to serve both of the buildings, the newly constructed one and the final proposed sign. Board member Munson stated that since that request is not on the agenda to be discussed tonight, he reminded the applicant that the final proposed building, business will have to come in at a future date to request an off site sign variance. Board member Moore stated not being against signage. He stated this is going to be confusing for prospective customers since this sign is on Bogart but the address is a Hall Johnson address. Mr. Archie stated when tenants want to buy or build an office building, they request certain addresses. Hall Johnson Road is a more recognizable name. He stated he had wanted the sign on Hall Johnson, but they were unable to do so. Mr. Miller stated the building is not visible from Hall Johnson Road, however, the prospective customers for this business will have some communications from our business before they reach the facility.Board member Munson stated this business will not be a "walk" in nature for clients. There being no one wishing to speak, the public hearing was closed at 8:28 p.m. Board member Reynolds moved to approve case A-07-011 with the understanding that the applicant is going to build the sign in compliance with the recommendation of staff regarding location.
