the sign and two signs 14 by 48 feet, one on each side. They do have a state permit to locate a sign in that location. The sign will extend 25 feet above the building. They believe that this particular sign will fit in with the other commercial businesses in the area. The existing property is zoned B-3. This will be an all steel structure, signs will be of vinyl and it will be illuminated. Mr. Barry states that what they were requesting was five times larger and ten feet higher than the ordinance allows and Mr. Coffey said that was correct. Mr. Coffey stated that if the board felt that 45 feet was too high, they would amend their petition to the height of 35 feet. Mr. Currens asked if there were any easements in that area and Mr. Coffey said the sanitary line easement was behind where they propose to put this sign. He did not think there were any other utility easements in that area. Mr. Currens said there appeared to be a utility there that was why he was asking. Mr. Kramer stated that the sign at Southbridge Crossing is a little taller than our ordinance allows and with research we could find out, so if they would agree with that height it would make it higher than 35 feet. Mr. Barry stated that the sign was setting across the build line and Mr. Coffey said the actual pole was not across the build line, but the sign itself would be. Mr. Coffey stated that Mr. Bartley would agree to set the sign back so it would not be across the build line. Mr. Coffey stated that if the Board felt that the 14 by 48 foot sign was to large they were willing to cut down the sign to 10 V2 feet by 36 feet. Mr. Barry asked if it was setting in the proposed parking lot and Mr. Coffey said there was a large entrance garage door, but he didn't see anything stored there. After the reading of the Fact-of-Findings for a variance from development standards a motion was made by Mr. Barry, second by Mr. Crouch to approve a variance of development standards for an advertising structure for Lot 4-H at Southbridge Crossing, with the structure being made of steel, tWo vinyl faces, the size will be 10 V2 feet by 36 feet, not greater in height than the Southbridge Crossing sign, and built behind the 60 foot building line. Motion carded 4-0. Next was Dale Coffey, Holloway Engineering, representing Mr. Ron Alexander, requesting a variance of setback from 20 feet to 12 feet to build a garage on lot 4 Victor & Young Hillcrest Subdivision. Mr. Coffey said there was an old garage on the property, which the Alexander's have tom down, and because of the inground swimming pool on the property, they had to locate the new garage closer than the requirement of 20 feet to the back property line. Because of the utility easement, they have to stay twelve feet away from the back property line. The new garage will be a little larger than the old garage, because they are putting a small bathroom in the garage. Mr. Kramer asked if the new garage with bath will be accessible to the pool and Mr. Coffey said he thought it would. Mr. Coffey said the new garage will match the house in appearance and will blend in with the house. After the reading of the Facts-of-Findings for development standards a motion was by Mr. Young, second by Mr. Barry, to approve the variance from development standards of the rear setback from 20 feet to 12 feet for a garage on Lot 4 in the Victor & Young Hillcrest Subdivision. Motion carded 4-0. The next meeting of the Board of Zoning Appeals will be on Thursday, June 10, 2004 at 7:00 P.M. at the Mooresville Town Hall. There being no further business to come before the Board a motion to adjourn was made by
