Chairman Perry related that the request is in regard to maximum
square footage, maximum number of allowed signage and maximum
height variance.
Mr. Jim Millen Franchisee of Burger King Restaurant presented a
site plan and explained the poor visibility to the north of the
property because of the wetlands located there. He proposed an 80-
foot-high rise sign visible from Hwy 67 going south toward Little
Rock, adding that it is not an issue for traffic going north. He
then related that Burger King is requesting an additional logo sign
on the rear of the building that would face Wal-Mart and thirdly
their letter sign for the front of the building.
Commissioner Brannen asked for perspective regarding the location
of the new Community Bank.
Discussion ensued as to ingress and egress regarding the side
entrance to Wal-Mart and the Burger King layout for drive-thru.
City Engineer Reel related plans to remodel the off-ramp coming
from Cabot and it was determined that the redesign would not affect
the need for more height for the high rise sign. It was then
discussed that the Little Rock Air Force Base would need to check
1
the sign height regarding FAA regulations. He stated that the City
would not have a problem with an 80-foot-high rise sign.
