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 an onsite determination be conducted by the Board along with input from City Engineer Reel. MOTION CARRIED.
BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT continued:

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,
