Dominique Pathrolla, Broadway National, 1900 Ocean Avenue, Ronkonkoma, NY came
forward. Mr. Pathrolla explained the reason for the change.
Vice - Chairman Parrish stated that when driving down Southlake Blvd., the sign is

2015.
Motion: Kubiak

Agenda Item No. 4: MSP15-002, Amendment to the Master Sign Plan for Forest
Park Medical, Southlake Medical District located at 431 E. SH 114.
Lorrie Fletcher, Planner I presented Item No. 4, MSP15-002.
David Ransom, 8404 Warren Park Way, Frisco came forward.
Commissioner Kubiak asked for clarification on the location.
Mr. Ransom displayed the area of the sign with the building that it will represent.
Commissioner Kubiak asked about the height of the sign.
Mr. Ransom stated that the logo on the garage is 55 inches and the logo on upper right
hand corner of the medical office building mirrors the hospital which is about 48 inches
and the lettering is smaller.
Commissioner Smith believes that the sign is too big and would like the numbering
issue addresses once the second building is built and the sign comes forward for
approval.
Vice -Chairman Parrish thinks the change is necessary and the buildings were already
approved in the master plan.

Commissioner Kubiak suggested that the numbering match the rest of the wording to
line up at 46 inches.
Mr. Ransom believes that there is a hardship. The tenants are concerned about signage
and letting people know where they are. The current signage only identifies Forest Park
Medical but the tenants are not affiliated with Forest Park Medical. Mr. Ransom stated
that they would be happy to adjust the height as needed.
Commissioner Kubiak gave suggestions for height changes to the tenant signs and
building identification.
Mr. Ransom stated that they are willing to make those adjustments.
Motion to approve subject to the staff report dated May 15, 2015, and
following adjustments to the proposed overall sign heights: Tenar
north, east and west elevations shall not exceed height of 42 inches
proposed at 44 inches). The building identification sign (number 1) on
and west elevations shall not exceed an overall height of 46 inches
proposed at 48 inches). The larger tenant sign on north elevation shall
on overall height of 46 inches (previously proposed at 50 inches).
Motion: Kubiak
Second: Smith
Ayes: Kubiak, Springer, Smith and Parrish
Nays: None
Abstain: None
Approved: 4-0-0
Agenda Item No. 5: Meeting Adjournment.
