Ron Kyle, 3140 Stacy Lane, came forward stating that he requested <br />a permit to put up an electronic billboard on this property, which would be the <br />convenience store there on the corner next to the Victorian Inn. He said he <br />knew there is a lot of opposition to his petition, but he thought this was <br />progress, and it is already zoned Commercial. He stated that he was looking <br />for a permit to put the sign up. Mr. Kyle said he has checked on this congested <br />area as for as this intersection is concern and the insurance people do not have <br />any records of ever having an accident claim against a billboard sign in a car <br />accident. Mr. Kyle stated that the record of all studies show that where <br />billboards are the drivers are more aware of what is going on around them; <br />therefore, it reduces the amount of accidents. <br /> <br />Regarding the Victorian Inn, Mr. Kyle said the sign will be above their rooftop <br />and sign, and there are no windows in the back of the building that is next to <br />the convenience store and he could not see a big problem. Mr. Kyle said the <br />sign will have an approximate value of $50,000.00 with a tax base of about <br />$1,500.00. This would bring PISD about $750.00 in taxes per year. <br /> <br /> <br />
