I further understand that it is necessary to have a representative at the City Council meeting w i authorized to ss this request. Applicant's signature: � ,' _ D Glenda Petkus rrrrrrr a rrrrrr■■rrr a rrrrr a rrrrrrrrrrr a rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr■■rrrrru rt The following checklist is a summary of requirements for sign variance requests as required by the City of Southlake. The applicant should further refer to the Sign Ordinance No. 704-A and amendments, and other ordinances maps, and codes avallabte at the City ]-Fall that may pertain to this sign variance request. In addition to paper submittals please submit electronic copies attached to an email addressed to SkipVandergrifftf- ci.southlake.tx.us Graphics should be in Jpeg or .bit format.

The site plan shall also indicate the building, landscaped areas, parking & approaches and adjoining street R. O. W. Scaled and dimensioned elevations of the signs for which the variance is requested. For attached signs, the elevations shall show the building in a full panoramic view with a rendition of the sign for which the variance is requested, and any other signs that conform to or are exempt from the sign ordinance. Existing signs will require a before and after rendition. Case No. SP 04 -165 Attachment E Page 9 Demonstration Please demonstrate that the following conditons are applicable to the requested sign variance: 1, That a literal enforcement of the sign regulation will crate an unnecessary hardship or practical difficulty on the applicant. The existing signage was approved and installed in 1991, for a space 26' wide. The request to relocate this sign to the adjacent space of 31'+ in width will be fairly inexpensive. To order new signage would be cost prohibitive. Two tenants occupying space facing 'Carroll Avenue have just recently abandoned their business. Their signs currently adhere to code and are 12' high. These signs are unreadable from the street. Ms. Petkus has built a good business, and current signage has been a positive factor. 2. That the situation causing the unnecessary hardship or practical difficulty is unique to the affected property and is not self imposed. Tenant is being moved to the adjacent space at Landlord's request to enable t neighbor on the other side to expand. The existing signage is comparable to other signage installed on'the building at the same time. The intersection at which this property is located is partly a state highway and traffic is heavy on the frontage road. Also, the overpass over SH114 now a "safety" shield wall that blocks the shopping center from view until the driver is sitting at the traffic signal, 3. That the variance will not injure and will be wholly compatible with the use and permitted development of adjacent properties. Frontage of the new space is approximately 160' from the street intersection SH114 and Carroll Avenue, which has undergone construction directing Carroll over SH114. Construction of Carroll Ave. is set to begin in the near future. Additionally, a tree partially blocks signage on this space. When construction of Carroll Avenue begins, 12' signage will be totally unreadable by traffic. 4. That the variance will be in harmony with the spirit and purpose of the sign ordinance, The existing signage is placed on a frontage of 26' and would be relocated to frontage of 31' +...The total frontage of the new space is approximately 50' and faces directly into the intersection center.
