Case A-07-016
Ron Ruthven presented the case and briefed the Board members.
Chairman Munson opened the public hearing at 7:54 p.m.
Dr. Linda Seim, the applicant, came forward to present the case and
brief the Board members.

the message scroll on the sign for Colleyville Heritage High School? Dr.
City of Colleyville Page 1 Printed on 11/2/2007
Sign Board of Appeals Minutes -Draft September 11, 2007
Seim replied she had not timed it, but the code states it has to stay up
five minutes. She stated a message can not scroll for five minutes.
Board member Munson questioned staff regarding how is a scrolling
message defined, as one thought or a different thought? Ron Ruthven
stated the code reads time and temperature is exempt from the five
minute rule. He stated eveything else has to meet the five minute
requirement.
Board member Moore stated the Heritage High School sign is bound to
the same rules as the other signs. Ron Ruthven replied he would check
into that issue. He stated frontage along SH121 has different
regulations.
Board member Kenney questioned Dr. Seim if there is a way to make
the sign comply, to scroll the time and temperature but leave the
message, such as Happy Thanksgiving? Dr. Seim stated she only has
10 characters so the message would read Happy Than. She stated
there is only room for one line.
Board member Munson questioned staff if a scrolling sign is one that
passes the message and that is the message. He stated if the subject is
changed, then that is a different message. He questioned if for instance
could Happy Thanksgiving be repeated. Ron Ruthven stated the code is
very specific that the message is not to change but every five minutes.
Board member Kenney disagreed and stated the message should be
completed before the time and temperature begins to run again.
Board member Munson stated the message would be Happy
Thanksgiving for five mintues.
Board member Moore questioned staff regarding when did the
regulations change, because all sign requests for scrolling messages in
the past have been denied. He stated the only thing that was allowed
was time and temperature. Ron Ruthven stated the last update was
done in 2006, prior to that 2000 and 2001 which did not address the
scrolling portion. Board member Moore stated all requests for scrolling
messages have been denied.
Board member Munson questioned Dr. Seim regarding if the lights could
be reduced to allow for more letters? Dr. Seim replied no, there are only
ten characters.
Board member Dellosso questioned Dr. Seim if the lights are all one
color? Dr. Seim replied yes, all red.

Sign Board of Appeals Minutes -Draft September 11, 2007
Board member Kenney questioned Dr. Seim if the hypens could be
eliminated in the phone number? Dr. Seim replied yes, then no one
would know what the numbers were for.
Board member Kenney stated this applicant has gone through an
incredible amount of hardship and has attempted to the best of her
ability to comply with the code, however the City missed something as
well as the sign builder. She stated it is difficult to permit a variance to
something that the City has been so strict on the scrolling requirement.
Board member Munson concurred and stated this Board is between a
rock and a hard place.
Board member Kenney stated the applicant does have the ability to
appeal the request to City Council if the request is denied.
Board member Munson stated this issue will need to rest with the City
Council because the regulations are very specific.
Board member Kenney stated she would like to grant this variance but
there are too many conflicting issues. .
Board member Moore stated he would deny this request because
previous requests have been denied.
Board member Munson questioned Dr. Seim if another set of lights could
be installed to be able to create the messages that she wants? Dr. Seim
replied yes, but it would cost additional money and she stated she has
already invested about $30,000 into the sign and the sign company has
gone bankrupt.
James Polk, 3913 Treemont Circle, spoke in opposition to the sign
request and stated the lights from the sign shine through the second
floor of his home.
Dr. Seim came forward to address Mr. Polk's concerns and stated she is
allowed to have the red lights.
There being no one wishing to speak, the public hearing was closed at
8:19 p.m.
Board member Dellosso moved to deny case A-07-016. Board member
Kenney seconded.

Case A-07-022 - Request for a variance from the regulations of the Colleyville Land
Development Code regarding monument sign requirements on Tracts 3D and 3E, Abstract
963 of the A.J. Lott Survey located at 7015 and 7017 Colleyville Boulevard
Explanation
The applicant has submitted a request for a variance regarding the construction of three
proposed general business monument signs that are part of a new development located at
7015 and 7017 Colleyville Blvd. The applicant is requesting a variance from the front yard
setback requirement and the requirement that only one monument sign be allowed for every
250 feet of street frontage.
The Land Development Code requires a minimum 8-foot front yard setback for monument
signs. The applicant proposes the signs be installed on the property line where they are
adjacent to SH26 right-of--way. The Land Development Code also requires a maximum of
one monument sign per every 250 feet of street frontage. The applicant is proposing three
monument signs, spaced evenly apart, along the front of the subject property. The subject
property has a total of 367 feet of frontage along SH26. The minimum frontage required by
the Land Development Code for 3 monument signs on a single piece of property is 750 feet.
The applicant states that the signs will be smaller than the maximum size and area allowed
in the Land Development Code. However, no details of the proposed sign dimensions were
provided. The applicant asserts that the variance is needed because the development will
be architecturally unique and the proposed signs will fit the character of the development.

Agenda Briefing Continued
Public Notification. Staff mailed notices to 11 property owners within 200 feet of the site.
As of this writing, staff has received no written response in acknowledgement of the
variance request.
Summary. The applicant asserts that the variance is needed because a unique condition is
being created based on the character and architecture of the development. Staff does not
identify any hardship associated with the request.

Board of Adjustment
City of Colleyville
100 Main Street
Colleyville, Texas 76034
RE: Zoning Board of Adjustment Responses
1.. We are requesting three variances, one for the sign and one for the front landscape setback
and one for the rear landscape setback.
a. The sign request is that we would prefer three short monument signs as opposed to
having a single monument sign in the center of the property along SH26 which could
stand and obstruct the view of the site and landscape and other traffic along the
curve.. We are proposing three short monument signs spaced evenly along the front
of the property in which the total square footage of signage allowed would be the
same or slightly less than normally allowed, but placed on the front property line.
b. The front landscape variance request is to make use of the TXDOT Right of Way
(non-paved area) as part of our 20' required landscape buffer.. This is common in
other Cities along a major thoroughfare such as Bedford along SH 121, Bedford and
TXDOT will allow a reduction in the required landscape setback internal to the site
provided that the equivalent area fronting the property be landscaped and irrigated in
the right of way.. This is limited to a minimum of 5 feet of the landscape must be
inside the development and the remaining area (provided it is available outside the
paving and shoulder ditch) is available for use. We are in the process of acquiring
this permit from TXDOT and anticipate receiving due to other considerations. We are
requesting that Colleyville allow the reduction in front yard landscape setback equal
to the area TXDOT will allow us to landscape in their right of way per the proposed
agreement.. While this does not meet the 'letter' of the landscape ordinance, we feel
that if does meet the 'intent' of the ordinance.
c. The rear landscape setback is requested to get the required amount of parking The
rear neighbor has stated that he would prefer not to see a tall wallas he would be
fenced in on two sides and we are more than willing to work with him on any kind of
fencing he would prefer if he will support our reduced setback.
2 To our knowledge, neither of these conditions exist in any other locations and we are asking
for something special. We are asking because we believe we have something special to offer
with our development that is not the ordinary run of the mill look along SH 26 The rear
landscape setback we are just trying to work with our neighbor to come to a mutually
agreeable solution for the City to Support..

Board of Adjustment
City of Colleyville
October 24, 2007
3 We are creating a unique condition with our signage and landscape variance requests
a. The sign is unique in that it is not a standard sign, and we are not requesting more
signage than is allowed, we are just trying to spread it out and keep it Tower to the
ground. This variance will allow for signage that better fits with the character and
architectural and landscape aspects of the proposed building.
b. We are requesting something unique for Colleyvifle, but not without precedent in the
surrounding cities. By design we do not want something that is standard `cookie
cutter from a catalog'. Just like the downtown is special in that is urban design and
was not standard for any where, we want to do accomplish the same kind of
development.
c.. This would not create a unique condition as we hope to have the supporf of our rear
neighbor in its resolution..
4. In short, no. To do what is allowed by code would be to do the same as everyone and
everywhere else and we are choosing to be different and interesting if you will tet us.

required to change the message on a changeable reader board. For purpose of this
regulation, a changeable reader board may include an electronic message area.
7-150(B)1c. Changeable Reader Board: An on-premises institutional sign may include a
changeable reader board area, provided the combined gross surface area does not exceed
the maximum allowable sign area and provided that no more than fifty (50%) percent of the

7-155(A)1d. Changeable Reader Board: A freeway pole sign may include a changeable
reader board area, provided the combined gross surface area does not exceed the maximum
allowable sign area and provided that no more than fifty (50%) percent of the maximum
allowable sign area may be used as a changeable reader board area. A permit is not
required to change the message on a changeable reader board. A changeable reader

PROH161TED S/GNS: 7-215(H). Moving and Flashing Signs - No person shall erect or
allow to be displayed upon premises owned or controlled by him any illuminated, animated,
moving or flashing sign.
Exception: Only a sign, which has illumination, that is turned on and off, changes in light
intensity, color or copy, at a rate equivalent to, or no more often than once every five (5)
minutes, is permitted. It is further provided that a sign, which uses illumination to provide time
of day and/or temperature, only shall not constitute a flashing sign.
Permanent institutional and business free-standing signs as well as freeway pole signs are
allowed to have a changeable electronic message area. However, per the requirements of
Section 7-215(H) listed above, these electronic signs cannot move, flash, scroll or be

five minutes. The only exceptions are signs that display time and temperature only.
As part of the directive by the City Council, staff has conducted a survey of ten area cities
with regard to their electronic sign regulations. The findings of the survey are attached to
this briefing. The cities surveyed were Coppell, Flower Mound, Frisco, Grapevine, Hurst,
Keller, Mansfield, North Richland Hills, Plano and Southlake.
Colleyville businesses, including sign companies, the Chamber of Commerce as well as
homeowners associations were notified of this agenda item. Staff recommends the Sign
Board of Appeals receive input and provide a recommendation to the City Council. The
scope of the discussion may require that the item be tabled to the next Sign Board of
Appeals meeting in December.
