Leonard Survey, Abstract 946. The following request was from Grapevine Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance 82-73: Section 60.J.5(a), Sign Standards, "HC" Highway Commercial District, Required Setback, mandates a minimum setback from the property line of ten-feet for an on- premise sign. The applicant requested a complete variance of ten-feet to this requirement and if approved by the Board would allow for a zero setback for an on-premise monument sign at an existing convenience store with gasoline sales. Mr. Williams explained that Staff found a special condition existed for the requested variance. Specifically, upon extensive visual inspection of the property, there was no location where the sign could be placed that would meet the ordinance requirements and not compromise safety or severely restrict circulation on the site. Additionally there was a second special condition for this property, due to extensive right-of-way in front of this property that would give the appearance of more than a ten-foot set back. Mr. Williams explained that the Traffic Engineer had reviewed plans and visited the site, and determined that the proposed location would not create a visibility obstruction to traffic. The sign contractor would be required to stake the property lines and obtain a survey to � verify there would be no encroachment of right-of-way and site visibility triangle that are on site plan. The property owner agrees to remove the existing ground sign along Northwest Highway. 2 Board of Zoning Adjustment 07/11/05 � With no further questions for Mr. Williams, Carl Hecht asked the applicant Ashraf Aziz, if he wished to address the Board.
