Public hearing was declared open. A. One individual spoke in favor of the petition. Heather Rowell representative from Sign Installation Group of Fate, Texas, spoke in favor of the petition. Ms. Rowell stated that the reasoning behind asking for a 20 foot variance on the sign height is to see the sign from the north loop. Ms. Rowell stated their hardship would be visibility from the North of Loop 286. Ms. Rowell further stated she hopes the board will approve the variance.
