THE PROPERTY IS GENERAILY LOCATED AT 305 N. MAIM STREET ACROSS FROM `TC3NN CREEK DRIVE INTERSECTION Chairman Ingram explained the ruins governing a public hearing and then opened the public hearing. Mr. Bill Tyler, Face President. of Braums Ice Cream, presented this request. He stated that B:raums bought the land about one year ago, platted the property and submitted darts which met_ all the building permit requirements. When building permits were issued, they became aware of the sign ordinance. He stated that the height of the sign. is DO problem but that the 50 foot maximum size was a problem. Braums had encountered this problem Brice before; in Rowlett. The 50 foot sign regulations were complied with and the Braums Family have found that the store was not doing well. Mr. Tyler stated that when the Braums Family was made aware of Euless' 50 foot maxim:(urt area requirement, they stopped construction on the store. Mr. Tyler :informed the Commission that the standard sign that Braums uses is not an unattractive sign and that they do not put a .lot of signr_age on the buildings. He also stated that they would have to compete- with a lot of large signs that are currently on Main Street and he felt that the 50 foot sign would not be adequate. In response: to questioning by the Commission, Mr. Tyler states: that with tine exception of a different size come, all the sagas Braums uses were the same size except for the Rowlett store. At this tisane, Chairaruatz Ingram asked if there were any Other- proponents for this case; there being stone, he asked for any opponents. 'sir. Kent. Kennedy of Kennedy Cameras approached the podium stating that use was not an opponent to the Braums sign, bu.i: was just inquiring whether-or-not this sign would hinder his being able to put up a sign in the future. Chairman Ingram informed Mr. Kennedy that if this request was granted., it would not affect his property being that it. was across the street from the .Braums property. At this s time, Chairman Ingram called for any other opponents. There being none, the public hearing was brought to a close and discussion a-mongst the Csnamissi.;:)Jl Members opened.. During the discussion .amongst. the Commission Members, it was brought out that some of the Members were very concerned that if the City overly restricts poles signs, businesses may locate elsewhere. Concerns also surfaced that the proliferation of larger pole signs would inhibit the visibility of existing pole signs; which, in order to compete with these larger signs, would theta have to be enlarged, thus, compounding the problem. 1987-065 PaM Four, Pl xis & Zonin Coa�ni.ssion i�ieetin Au � 4 �987 After much discussion amongst: the Commission Members, Chairman Ingran called for- a mot ion on if"C-87-11 .
