Request
A request for a 10 foot variance from the maximum 60 foot sign height, as described in Section 28-241, to allow a 70 foot tall freeway sign.
Executive Summary
The subject property includes two adjacent restaurants, owned and operated by the Bill Miller restaurant organization. The applicant is pursuing a sign master plan to allow a new two tenant sign to be installed on an existing pole, which is 70 feet in height. The sign currently advertises Bill Miller's BBQ but is located on the lot that houses the restaurant Laguna Madre Seafood Company. The existing sign pole is structurally sound, according to a sign company inspection, and can support the proposed joint tenant sign as requested. In order for a sign master plan to be considered, all signs must be consistent with sign regulations, with no non-conformities. The height of the existing sign is 10 feet taller than current code permits, generating the need for the requested variance.
The new freeway interchange required additional property at this location and the relocation of the existing sign. As with all eminent domain cases, the property owner retains the rights to anything that previously existed prior to government action. The relocated pole, 70 feet in height, was engineered and installed in its current location.
