MINUTES MOORESVILLE BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS The Mooresville Board of Zoning Appeals will come to order. Approval of the minutes. Everything correct. Approved and seconded. Bill Parks variance. I'm Ross Holloway here with Mr. Parks tonight to discuss a variance for the placement of signs for the new Wendy's that's going up out on 144 and 67. I passed out an exhibit here that basically describes what we would propose. As you are well aware this property is zoned for B-2 and has limitations on sign size such as the typical signs used in fast food establishments like McDonald's down here and the Hardee's and these will be very very similar signs to those as far as the size and height, in fact, they will be smaller than the McDonald's sign which is hugh and more or less about the same in height and square footage as the Hardee's sign. If you look on the subsequent pages there you will see the configuration of the signs, the overall heights and everything that we propose. The sign, type A we call it, is a ground mounted sign that would be up on what we show as Lot 1 there close to the building more or less right in front of it. That overall size there of 96 feet includes the brick base and so that's why it is larger. Bill since then has decided on a slightly smaller sign that without the brick base ends up at 46 square feet. So if he would decide to continue with that sign no variance would be required on that size sign. However, since we are here tonight in case he would change his mind we would go ahead and ask that it be considered. The larger sign out toward the intersection for a B-2 zoning and a sign over 100 square feet requires a 60 foot set back. If you moved it back 60 feet it would be right close to being in the lot and be so far from the highway that it wouldn't be practical. This sign isn't extremely high it is 24 feet I believe overall height. I went down and looked at the Hardee's sign and it's not quite that high I think it's about 20
