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 the sign height regarding FAA regulations. He stated that the City would not have a problem with an 80-foot-high
rise sign.
