Provisions of Section 43-6 of the Code
of Ordinances to permit construction
of signs in excess of permitted size.
Mr. Tom Trimble, attorney, was present representing the Peoples Savings and Loan
Association. He said that the application is self-explanatory; that the area
is generally pretty well established as being commercial. They would like two
signs, one on West Markham Street on the southwest corner of Lot B, and the other
one on Rodney Parham Road in the northwest corner. These, he said, would be in
keeping with the general character of the neighborhood. At the present time the
building which is located on Lot C will be the building which will be used for
the Savings and Loan Branch office if their plans develop, with entrance from
either Rodney Parham or West Markham Street. They want to use double-faced signs
in each location 8 feet above the ground level. The building on Lot B will be removed.
A motion was made that in light of the fact that most of the area across the street
is commercial, and the other side borders on residential property, the sign on
Rodney Parham Road not be further northwest than the middle of the property, and
not further west than the middle of the property on West Markham Street; that the
proposed sizes be approved, and setback on :Rodney Parham Road be 8 feet in line
with current building line that is there, and the setback on West Markham Street
be 10 feet. The motion was amended to allow the Staff latitude to adjust the line
on Rodney Parham Road as far as 10 feet further to the northwest if in its discretion
it should be done. The amended motion was seconded and passed. Mr. Dover disquali-
fied himself, and did not vote. There were no objectors.
