Public hearing was declared open. A. Three individuals spoke in favor of the petition. Alex Pickering, 3317 N.E. Loop 286 Paris, Texas, spoke in favor of the petition. Mrs. Pickering stated that she is here on behalf of the Orr Nissan. SCS Graphics will not be installing the signs; they are only doing the leg work for Orr Nissan. Mrs. Pickering further stated that Orr Nissan only manufactures certain signs for their dealerships. In this case due to the location and issues with the access roads Orr Nissan would really like to place a sign with the height of 50 feet on the east side of the property for more visibility.
