STAFF REPORT
Beaumont Independent School District has applied for variances to the
maximum height and maximum area of an owner identification sign
from 15' to 15'3" and 50 sq. ft. to 74 sq. ft., respectively. The
property is occupied by Ozen High School and is located at 3443
Fannett Road.
James Broussard, Principal, states that the variances are requested to
enable Ozen and the community to have a message center large
enough to be visible to those on campus and passing on Fannett Road.
Mr. Broussard says that the sign will be used to provide information
on both school activities and items important to the surrounding
community. Due to the need to be seen, Mr. Broussard feels that the
proposed height and size are justified.
The applicant shall have the burden of proof to demonstrate that all
three conditions necessary for approval have been met.
Exhibits are attached.
