Main Street, legally described as Lots 15 and S33' of 14, Block 3, City of Grapevine. The following requests were from Grapevine Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance 82- 73: Section 60.E., Sign Standards, which limits projecting signs to 48" from the face of the building. The applicant requested a 4'-6" variance, and if approved would allow the sign to project 8'-6" from the building. Section 60.G.3., Sign Standards, which limits projecting signs to a maximum 25 square feet in area. Board of Zoning Adjustment 05/01/2000 The applicant requested a 17.5' variance, and if approved would result in an area of 42.5 square feet as calculated in the Sign Standards. Mr. Williams explained that Staff found special conditions for the request, being the sign was a replica of a historic sign, and was reviewed and approved by the Historic Preservation Commission. He explained that the sign would not project beyond the existing canopy. Furthermore, Mr. Williams explained that the actual area of the sign would be very similar to the existing sign, but based on the shape of the proposed sign, the zoning ordinance method of measurement would produce an exaggerated sign size. John Mayfield of 518 Azalea, Grapevine, representing the applicant, took the Oath of Truth and explained that the proposed sign would be made to look like the original sign, according to old pictures. He explained that the proposed sign would protrude out from the building a little more than the existing sign. Mr. Mayfield explained that the sign would not look like the original sign if it were made smaller. There was concern from the members about the size of the proposed sign being larger. With no one else to speak either for or against the request, Ery Meyer made a motion to close the public hearing.

Mr. Williams explained that Staff found there were special conditions, specifically the lot was originally platted with a 30 foot front yard, there were several large trees on the lot, and the approval of the request would result in saving at least one of the trees.

Mr. Juraco passed around pictures of the property and explained that he bought the lot because of the oak trees. He explained that he had worked with an architect to save as many trees as possible.
