AYE: Ramey, Foster, `l'app,1,,',_imball NAY: None The motion carried. 4­0 BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT PUBLIC HEARING da O A-99 -32 -- Owasso Market - A request for a variance of the Owasso Zoning Code, Appendix F, Owasso Sign Ordinance, to allow a signage in excess of maximum area requirements. The property is located on the north side of E 96 "' Street N, west of the Owasso Expressway. The subject property is described as hots 1 & 2, dock 1, Owasso Market Addition and is zoned CS (Commercial Shopping Center). Theron presented the case and the property was described. Theron explained that because the developer has frontage on two streets, two signs are permitted. Both signs are to be 35' high. The 96 "' Street sign is proposed to be 352 square feet and the sign facing the Owasso Expressway is proposed at 160 square feet. Notices were sent to surrounding property owners and published in the Owasso Reporter. No calls were received opposing this request. Theron also discussed the five out - parcels which are generally located on 96 "' Street. The developer is willing to compromise on the size of the out - parcel signs in order to redistribute the gross square footage that would normally be allowed on the site. Theron also stated that there is a slight error on the square footage calculation in the staff report. The out parcel signs should be limited to 25 feet in height and 80 square feet in area. Mr. Christopher Seay, developer and applicant, was present to answer any questions or concerns. Mr. Seay made a brief presentation to the Commissioners stating that he agrees to encourage out - parcels to use ground type monument signs, whenever possible. An area property owner was present to voice concerns regarding the possible depreciation of his property due to the large signs in the area. He also had concerns regarding the times in which the parking lot lights will be on and wit!) the drainage of the BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT December 2$, 1999 Page 2 of 3 property. Theron offered to discuss the drainage for this project with Mr. Phil Lutz of Owasso Public Works Authority. V ioki Tapp stated that she did not want the out parcel tenants to corne back before the Board of Adjustment to apply for a variance request tier larger signs. She feels if monument signs for the out parcels are agreed upon, the developer needs to make sure this is done. Susan Kimball expressed concerns regarding the possibility of the developer coming before the Board at a later elate, stating there is a hardship on the out parcel tenants, due to the fact that they can only have 25' hash and 30 square feet signs or 125 square, feet for a monument sign. Staff recommends approval subject to the following conditions 1. That the Owasso Expressway not exceed 35 feet in height and 160 square feet in area, 2. That the 96 "' Street sign not exceed 35 feet in height and 352 square feet in area, 3. That the out parcels signs be limited to 25 feet in height and 40 square feet in area, 4.. 'Thank ground -type, monument signs be encouraged by the developer on out- parcels. Vicki Tapp moved to approve the variance request subject to the above staff recommendations, with the exception of item I -0 being changed. to 80 square feet in area and the monument signs to be no larger than 125 square feet, Susan Kimball seconded the motion.
