detract from the character of the neighborhood.

Sims and Rebecca Norment, property owners, state that by granting the variance they would be
allowed to have separate electricity and gas to the pool house. Rebecca also explains that the living
quarters in the pool house were included to accommodate her since she had previously had surgery

6. Public hearing to consider and take action on the petition of Shawn Coyier, on Lot Pt of 1,
City Block 321, being located at 2315 NE Loop 286.
The applicant requests a variance of Article 4.10, Sections 4.10.003(e), 4.10.004(a)(1),
4.10.009(a), 4.10.009(b) and 4.10.081 of the Sign Ordinance which provides as follows:
- Section 4.10.003(e) —"Sky signs are prohibited except as provided in division 2 (Historical
Downtown District] of'this article. "
- Section 4.10.004(a)(1) —"Attached signs shall not extend above the roofline ofthe building
or more than twelve (12) inches from the building wall. Where the building fascia is not
vertical, the bottom of such sign shall not project more than twelve (12) inches from the
fascia and the sign can be oriented in a vertical manner.
- Section 4.10.009(a) — "All signs and sign structures shall be designed, constructed, and
inspected in accordance with this section. "
- Section 4.10.009(b) — "Signs and sign structures shall be designed and constructed to
comply with the provisions of the building code for use of materials, loads and stresses to
withstand a wind pressure of thirty (30) pounds per square ffoot]. "
- Section 4.10.081— "No temporary orpermanentsign or billboard to be installed or located
within the corporate city limits shall be erected, constructed, reconstructed, relocated or
placed within the city unless a permit shall have been first secured from the building
official. "
The applicant is proposing a "sky sign" at 2315 NE Loop 286.
Public hearing was declared open.
Grayson Path, City Manager, presented the variance request to the board. Mr. Path explained that
the permit for the sign was requested after the sign had already been constructed; therefore, the
City was unable to notify the applicant up front that the sign was prohibited. He also mentions that
the applicant had previously acquired two permits with a licensed contractor so he was aware of
the permitting requirements. Lastly, the City recommends denial.
Ruth Ann Alsobrook, board member, clarifies that a sky sign is something that extends above the
roofline and that the concern is that it could blow away and potentially cause damage. Mr. Path
confirms that is a concern however the sign itself is prohibited by code and if it were to be allowed
it would have to be designed by an engineer to ensure it would be structurally sound.
Larry Walker, board member, inquires if the applicant would be able to put a sign on the front of
the awning similar to the sign on the front of the building to which Grayson clarifies that any
additional signage would have to either go on the side of the building or be a detached sign. Mr.
Path also states that any sky signs allowed in the past are considered legal -nonconforming and
would have to come into compliance if ever altered or removed.
William Sanders, board member, inquires if the awning that the sign is on was existing or if a
permit was pulled to construct it. Paige Unger, city staff, stated that the awning and other
remodeling was done after the applicant had moved into the retail space and a permit was not
pulled until after it was already done.
No one else spoke in favor or opposition.
Public hearing was declared closed.
William Sanders, board member, comments that the City currently has a lot of code violations and
if the variance was granted the violations would continue and it would be perceived that the City
condones the violations.
Motion was made by Larry Walker, seconded by Jerry Haning to deny the variance of Article 4. 10,
Section 4.10.003(e) of the Sign Ordinance and prohibiting the approval a sky sign outside of the
Historical District. Motion carried 4:0.
Motion was made by William Sanders, seconded by Larry Walker to deny the variance of Article
4.10, Section 4.10.004(x)(1) of the Sign Ordinance and prohibiting a sign to extend above the
roofline of the building or more than 12" from the building wall. Motion carried 4:0.
Motion was made by William Sanders, seconded by Larry Walker to deny the variance of Article
4. 10, Section 4.10.009(a) of the Sign Ordinance and prohibiting a sign not designed, constructed
and inspected in accordance to the Sign Ordinance. Motion carried 4:0.
Motion was made by Larry Walker, seconded by Jerry Haning to deny the variance of Article 4. 10,
Section 4.10.009(b) of the Sign Ordinance prohibiting a sign not designed and constructed to
comply with the provisions of the building code for use of materials, loads and stresses to withstand
a wind pressure of thirty (30) pounds per square foot. Motion carried 4:0.
Motion was made by Larry Walker, seconded by William Sanders to deny the variance of Article
4. 10, Section 4.10.081 of the Sign Ordinance prohibiting a permanent sign to be installed in the
City without first securing a permit from the building official. Motion carried 4:0.
The following additional findings were adopted as the reasons, for this denial. They are as follows:
(A) There was no unique condition or feature of the property which is not generally common to
other properties, where literal compliance with this article would cause unnecessary hardship.
(B) The granting of the variance will violate the spirit or the intent of these articles.
(C) The condition or feature which creates the need for the variance resulted from the property
owner's own actions.
In the board's denial of the request, the following additional findings were adopted as the reasons
for this denial. They are as follows:
(A) There are no known unique conditions or features regarding Mr. Coyier's building that would
require a "sky sign" versus an allowable sign per this Article, thus no known hardships.
(B) The Article clearly prohibits "sky signs" inthis situation and roof structures are not normally
designed with the purpose of supporting an added wind load caused by such a roof -mounted
sign, thus engineering should have at least been performed per the building code. Mr.
Coyier has informed staff that the sign was not engineered.
(C) Mr. Coyier installed the sign prior to having sought a building permit, which would have
given City Staff an opportunity to address this prior to expenditure of funds and installation
of the sign. In addition, Mr. Coyier, via a license contractor had in fact properly permitted
and installed two separate signs on his building and property prior to this situation. These
were permit #20-1362 and #20-1441. It is not known whether a licensed contractor was used
to install the sky sign or not.
Motion was made by Jerry Harting, seconded by William Sanders to approve and adopt the
additional findings by City Staff. Motion carried 4:0.

Mr Calloway explained the roof was in desperate need of repair. The existing front roof
area contains a punctuated roof line with a set of 3 windows and a porch that is a source
of leaks. The applicant was requesting that the windows be enclosed under new roofing,
and the area would now be one solid roof plane. The windows would be enclosed under
the new roofing in the event that in the future new owner would want to restore the roof
line it could be completed. The commissioner reviewed the application for congruency of
materials, changes in architectural detailing, roofing materials and form and if it was in
harmony with the district as a whole.
A motion was made by Commissioner Caffey stating the application for 400 Church
Street, Holy Cross Episcopal Church in regards to roof replacement from slate shingles

Mr & Mrs. Norment were available to discuss the application. Chairman Dux

structure, and Mrs. Norment explained the height is the same as the garage. The setback
were approved by the city officials. Mrs. Norment went over the materials and verified
they would be repurposed from a former structure that was on the property but was torn
down. Same brick as on the original house. Same colors painted as on the original house
and the same shingles. Commissioner Caffey noted the main house was all about gables,
and had concerns that the hipped roof didn't speak the same language as the original
house, when it comes to the street view. Commissioner Caffey asked about getting
something over the entry door to give it the appearance of a gable roof. Mrs. Norment
said she didn't want to spend unnecessarily. Commissioner Vandiver noted the window
in the drawing on the Brame street side didn't have the same detailing as the rest of the
house, to which Mrs. Norment said the window was going to actually be a window type
garage door, but when individuals are looking through the existing opening on the west
side in the fence, the only thing that will be seen is backyard. With no further discussion,
Chairman Dux called for a motion.

the neighborhood in height, massing, setbacks, architectural detailing, fenestration and
proportions with respect to the design standards, Commissioner Coyle seconded the

clear on the lining up of the doors heights in respect to the windows. The vertical
alignment of the wooden panel above the door and the entry doors be congruent.

�scuss an Consider on Senate Bill 125,,,,,,,
Ms. Hammond informed the Board the Texas Legislature has several bills this session that could impact Economic
Development. 5enate Bill 1256 is our focus today. This bill would amend Chapter 312 of the Tax Code and prohibit
ad valorem tax abatement for properties with certain renewable energy installed on the property. Solar projects in
Lamar County are bringing in additional revenues to school districts. If Bill SB1256 is passed, it would not allow for
these additional revenues. The second concern written in the bill is that it does not allow for manufacturers to
receive tax abatements if they have even one solar panel at their facility. Dr. Hashmi asked that we check on
whetherthe City can override the bill. Dr. Hashmi made a motion to approve Ms. Hammond taikingto ourlegislators
