THE MAXIMUM HEIGHT OF A FREESTANDING SIGN IS NORMALLY 12' . WE ARE ASKING FOR 20' JUSTIFICATION SHALL BE BASED ON THESE THREE (3) CRITERIA: 1) That the strict application of this ordinance would produce undue hardship. PLEASE SEE ATTACHED NOTE 2) That such hardship is not shared generally by other properties in the same zoning district and the same vicinity. PLEASE SF: ATTACHED NOTE 3) That the authorization of such variance will not be of substantial detriment to adjacent property and that the character of the district will not be changed by the granting of the variance. PLEASE SEE ATTACHED NOTE The application may be deferred by the staff or the Board of Zoning Appeals, if sufficient information necessary to this review has not be submitted by the deadline. I hereby certify that the information provided on this application and accompanying information is acctuate, true and corre o he best of my knowledge and belief. 6 -3 -2(/ I LF 411 91- Signature ) Date Receipt # Date Ww/w ai iV SIGN INDUSTRIES, INC. P.O. BOX 165778 IRVING,TEXAS 75016-5778 JUNE 6, 1994 1 ) THAT THE STRICT APPLICATION OF THIS ORDINANCE WOULD PRODUCE UNDUE HARDSHIP FOR TWO REASONS . A) THERE IS A RETAINING WALL THAT RUNS ALL ALONG THE FRONT PROPERTY OF THE OUTBACK STEAKHOUSE BUILDING. THIS RETAINING WALL IS APPROXIMATELY 4 ' FROM THE US ROUTE 29 SIDE. ON THE OUTBACK STEAKHOUSE SIDE OF THE RETAINING WALL THE GROUND SLOPES DOWN AS YOU ARE GOING TOWARDS THE BUILDING. AT 5 ' SETBACK WHICH IS WHAT IS REQUIRED FOR THE SIGN SETBACK PER THE COUNTY, THE GROUND LEVEL IS APPROXIMATELY 7 ' FROM GROUND TO THE TOP OF THE RETAINING WALL. IF THE SIGN IS TO REMAIN 12 ' OVERALL HEIGHT ONLY APPROXIMATELY 3. 6 ' OF THE SIGN WOULD ACTUALLY BE VISIBLE . B) THE ARCHITECTUAL REVIEW BOARD IS REQUIRING "STREET TREES" TO BE PLANTED, THESE STREET TREES ARE OF "REQUIRED SPECIES" , IN THIS CASE SUGAR MAPLES WHICH AR 14 ' TALL AND 3" IN CALLIPER AT PLANTING. THIS WILL POSE EVEN A GREATER HARDSHIP DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE TREES WILL BE TALLER THAN THE SIGN AND WILL TOTALY BLOCK ALL VISIBILITY OF THE "OUTBACK STEAKHOUSE" SIGN. IF THE SIGN IS AT 20 ' OVERALL HEIGHT, WE WILL BE ABLE TO OVERCOME ALL THESE OBSTACLES. 2) THIS HARD SHIP WILL NOT BE SHARED BY OTHERS DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE RETAINING WALL ONLY RUNS IN FRONT OF THE OUTBACK STEAKHOUSE RESTURAUNT. 3) THIS VARIANCE WILL NOT BE OF SUBSTANTIAL DETRIMENT TO ADJACENT PROPERTY AND THE CHARACTER OF THE DISTRICT WILL NOT BE CHANGED BECAUSE WE HAVE MET ALL CITY REQUIREMENTS AND WILL NOT BE AN "EYESORE" TO THE PUBLIC. 908 E.

I FEEL THAT WITH THE INFORMATION THAT I HAVE ENCLOSED YOU WILL FIND JUST CAUSE TO GRANT THE OVERALL HEIGHT WE WILL NEED TO ENSURE PROPER VISIBILITY. US ROUTE 29 IS THE PREFERRED LOCATION OF THE SIGN DUE TO THE HIGHER TRAFFIC COUNT AND OVERALL PHYSICAL LOCATION OF THE RESTURAUNT IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR IF I CAN BE OF ANY FURTHER SERVICE PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO CONTACT MY OFFICE .
