VR2006-010: Consideration of a Variance to Allow Additional Wall Signage, Applicant C.G.Hill, Address: 5150 Quincy Street. Planning Associate Heller stated this is a public hearing to consider a request for a variance to allow for increased sign area on a newly constructed addition to the building at 5150 Quincy Street. She indicated Mr. Tim Hill, C.G. Hill & Sons, constructed an addition onto the east side of their building, which gives the building good visibility from Interstate 35W. Planning Associate Heller explained the Sign Code for building mounted signage allows for 100 square feet in an industrial area. She stated the C. G. Hill building has good visibility on the front side of the building, the south wall facing County Road 10 and Program Avenue, and now on the east side facing I-35W. Planning Associate Heller indicated C. G. Hill currently has two approximately 50 square foot signs on the front and south walls of the building. She reported Mr. Hill would like to install a 91.5 square foot sign on the east side of the building. Planning Associate Heller stated the signage would be placed on the window panels located at the top of the building. She explained the signage would be illuminated when the building is lit from the inside. Commissioner Miller asked how tall the letters would be. Planning Associate Heller replied the letters would be three feet tall and 30.5 feet wide. She explained the building is large and therefore the sign would not overpower the building. Commissioner Miller asked if the signs on the other sides were the same size. Planning Associate Heller replied the current signs are somewhat smaller. Chair Stevenson asked if the intention was for the sign to be visible from I-35W. Planning Associate Heller replied that was correct.
