First on the agenda was a letter from Holloway Engineering requesting the continuance for the variance for Rick Remster and Ed Bartley for an advertising structure at State Road 67 and State Road 144 until August 12,2004, so they can speak with the Mooresville Park Board. Motion to approve the continuance of the Rick Remster and Ed Bartley variance until August 12, 2004, was made by Don Barry, second by Chris Crouch. Motion carried 4-1 with Jon Swisher opposing. Next was Marvin Cable, T&W Corporation, representing Family Video Movie Club, requesting a variance for setback of footage and signage at 5 East Harrison Street. They will be building a retail facility for movie rental at the corner of Indiana Street and Harrison Street. The property is currently zoned B-2 local business, that zoning allows for a 5,000 square foot building and they are planning on building a 6,150 square foot building, so they are asking for a variance of footage to allow for that size of building. The ordinance allows for the way they would like to do the signage and there is a question on setback on two sides of the parcel. Mr. Barry asked if they would be tearing down to build the new structure and Mr. Cable stated they would be removing the house and garage. Mr. Cable stated that the new structure would set on the southeast corner of the lot so it would open up the lot for parking and not block sight for traffic flow. Mr. Cable said that Family Video purchased three parcels, they would be using two parcels and the third parcel has a house, which will remain residential. The parking for the new structure will be in the front mostly along Indiana and Harrison Streets. Mr. Barry asked what the signage will be and Mr. Cable stated it would be a pole sign about 100 square feet and they are asking to be able to set the sign on the corner of Harrison and Indiana St within fifteen feet from the public right-of-way. Mr. Cable stated that they are not proposing any curb cuts off of Indiana Street. Mr. Rick Wagner,S E Harrison St, said as owner of the property and pizza business he was asking for support from the board on this project. He said the pizza shop was moving to the shopping center. Mr. Young asked what the business hours would be and the District Manger of Family Video said they would be open from 10:00 AM to Midnight 365 days a year. Mr. Kramer asked if they have a flexible plan for moving the signs around and Mr. Cable said the sign would be twelve feet above the ground so it would not be restrictive visually, there would be shrubs and decorative rocks at ground level. Mr. Kramer said he has no problem with
