TO: Board of Adjustment
FROM: Adina Ward, Planner II
SUBJECT: To consider a request for a variance to the maximum height requirement for a
sign.
FILE: 687-BA
STAFF REPORT
TRI-CON, Inc. has applied for a variance to the maximum height allowed for a sign in a
GC-MD (General Commercial - Multiple Family Dwelling) district. The maximum
height allowed by ordinance is 50' and TRI-CON, Inc., is asking for a 70' sign.
Mr. Elias Sarkis, President of TRI-CON, Inc., states that a 50' sign would have limited
visibility due to trees and the Interstate Highway 10 South, overpasses & on ramps.
According to Mr. Sarkis, persons traveling on the Highway would not view the sign in
sufficient time to access the property. He feels a 70' sign would be visible before the
necessary exit.
The applicant shall have the burden of proof to demonstrate that all three conditions
necessary for a variance have been met.
Exhibits are attached.
