As there was no representative present BZA tabled on the request on 6/2/05. BZA granted lighting variance requests #1 &#2 on 7/7/05. Mr. Ferguson with Four Points Architect came forward to be sworn in and address the request. Mr. Ferguson reviewed that the current sign before the board was their standard sign for their building and at the last meeting they withdrew their variance request and submitted a new sign which met city codes. However, after the July Board of Zoning Appeals meeting he received a phone call from Planning Director Wenger who voiced a disappointment over the sign and requested they purse a variance for a new sign that would better suite the building. He then met with city officials to review their options and receive guidance as to how to proceed. The sizes of the letters are the same but the words were stacked in the middle of the building. Planning Commission wanted the sign centered as well as city officials, therefore they are back to ask for the two variances for the sign. The request is 1.5% over what code allows. - N.
