presented the appeal for a variance to increase the number of signs that are

allowed from 2 to 3. The property is zoned M-1.



In their statements and in response to questions from the Board

Members, Mr. Teasley and Mr. Lusk gave the following information: They would

like to request a variance on the number of sign they can have on their 17 acre

property. The signs total about 60 square feet for any other size lot they

would be entitled to 300 square feet. They have approximately 350 employees.

They have two signs, one is approximately 4? x 8? that identifies that it is

Kellogg?s and the other one is an entrance sign for employee parking. The

additional sign (that is shown on the fence) they are asking for is designed

for the semi trucks to park into, so they won?t turn into the employee

parking. The sign will not be on the fence, it will be on a pole.



There was no opposition presented to this appeal.



Mr. King made a motion, which was seconded by Mr. Lewis, to grant this

appeal so that they can get their trucks directed in and out properly. (The

sign will be put on a pole and not on a fence). The size of the property is so

large that even with this sign added it would still be well under the total

square footage that they will be permitted in signage. Motion carried by the

affirmative vote of the four Board Members present for this meeting.



Case No. 04-V73?-Granted.



Robert Teasley, Signs Inc, presented the appeal of Waddell Elementary School,

6101 Miller Road, for a variance to reduce the front yard setback requirement

from 10 feet to 3 feet and to increase the size of a sign from 15 square feet

to 40 square feet. The property is zoned R-1A.



In his statement and in response to questions from the Board Members, Mr.

Teasley gave the following information: Most of the schools are getting these

type of two sided signs. The existing sign will come down and they will put up

a new one in the exact location. The sign needs to come forward because of the

size of the letters they are trying to keep the size of the sign in harmony

with the neighborhood and height of the letter determines the distance you can

read it from the road.



There was no opposition presented to this appeal.



Mr. Edwards made a motion, which was seconded by Mr. King, to grant this

appeal, they will remove the existing sign and put up a new one in the exact

same place. These type of signs have been approved at schools in the past.

This will be a two sided sign. Motion carried by the affirmative vote of the

four Board Members present for this meeting.



Case No. 04-V74--Granted.



David Fox presented the appeal of Pinnacle Homes, Inc., 8039 Sonoma Pointe

Drive, for a variance to reduce both side yard setback requirements from 8 feet

to 5 feet and to reduce the rear yard setback requirement from 30 feet to 28

feet, in order to erect a single family residence, 43? 6? x 63? 5?. The

property is zoned R-2.



In his statement and in response to questions from the Board Members,

Mr. Fox gave the following information: In Sonoma Pointe all the lots are 60

feet and occasionally when you have an arc where the road turns you may have a

lot pinched down. All of the plans are very similar and this is the first part

of Sonoma Pointe. Along the main stretch there are no trees and a long alley

way and they are setting the houses back 38 to 40 feet from the actual curb,

but 28 to 30 feet back from the property line. Because of the way the plans

are designed this particular lot pinches down to 48 feet in the back, although

it has 71 feet in the front, regardless of what plans are used a variance is

required for this lot. This is a larger plan, but even the smaller plans would

require a variance.



There was no opposition presented to this appeal.



Mr. King made a motion, which was seconded by Mr. Edwards, to grant

this appeal because this is an odd shaped lot and this will allow the house to

be placed on the lot and it will be in sync with the subdivision. Motion

carried by the affirmative vote of the three Board Members with David Fox

abstaining from the vote.
