PROJECT: Sign Variance for Southlake Town Square Grand Opening Sign
REQUEST:
Town Square Ventures, L.P. is requesting a variance from the Sign Ordinance No.
704-C requirements for a temporary development/construction sign. This is a request
to extend the currently approved temporary sign at this location for an additional year.
The current sign permit expires March 31, 2009. There are no changes to the existing
sign which permitted the following variances:
Sign Reg. Permitted Requested
Maximum Height 7 feet 14 feet (as previously approved)
Sign Area 48 square feet 152 square feet (as previously
approved)
Duration 1 year 1 additional year (5 years total) with
the ability to change the text and
graphics as needed throughout the
year.
If approved, the Landscape Administrator has requested that the sign be relocated
a few feet to the east because the current location is too close to a tree.
ACTION NEEDED:Consider variance request.
