APPROVAL AND/OR CORRECTION OF MINUTES:

MOTION CARRIED.
Sign request by Backyard Burgers: Violation of Chapter 18.76.030
of the Jacksonville Municipal Code
Acting Chairman Reid related the request for a site plan by the
Board of Adjustment from the previous meeting of December 11, 1996.
He recognized Mrs. Becky Garlington, Marketing Representative for
Backyard Burgers who presented the Board with the site plan as well
as the banner desired for use in the promotion. She related the
location Backyard Burgers has requested. She related that the
normal height of the sign from the ground is only a few feet adding
that it could be raised to comply with the eight-foot sign height
requirement. She voiced concerns regarding the aesthetics of sign
height.
Discussion evolved regarding the elevation of the property and it
was noted that the proposed location of the banner would already be
elevated due to topography. It was noted that the location of
ingress and egress traffic in relation to the proposed banner would
probably not cause any difficulty with obstruction.
After viewing site plans and the banner; it was decided that an on-
site decision would be made by the City Engineer regarding a waiver
and other concerns expressed by the Board regarding aesthetics.
Commissioner Boroughs, moved seconded by Commissioner Nabors that
1
an onsite determination be conducted by the Board along with input
from City Engineer Reel. MOTION CARRIED.
BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT continued:
December 18, 1996
The meeting was finalized at approximately 4:12 p.m.
Immediately following the meeting, the on-site determination was
conducted and the following is the result as reported by the City
Engineer: "It is the general consensus of the Board of Adjustment
to grant the original request from Backyard Burgers for the banner
sign placement at their location at Gregory and T.P. White with
location of banner designated by the Board on site with Mrs. Becky
Garlington, representative of Backyard Burgers with a 3-foot height
from ground to sign bottom."
Respectfully submitted,
