Board approves multiple sign variances for Lamar Advertising after storm damage and owner change
Summary
Representatives from Lamar Advertising won approvals to rebuild damaged signs as monopoles, including one where the property owner changed from Deborah Webb to Chad Swank; board asked about a future intersection project but approved the variances.
The board approved multiple sign-variance requests from Lamar Advertising to rebuild storm-damaged signs as monopoles and to increase sign height where adjacent ground elevations will change due to nearby development.
Melissa Evelyn (Speaker 8), representing Lamar Advertising, notified the board that the property-owner record had changed ("Deborah Webb has sold that property. The new owner's name is Chad Swank") and described repeated storm damage to the existing wooden-pole structures. She asked for a 15-foot or 10-foot height variance (depending on the site) so the new monopole signs would remain visible above adjacent redevelopment.
Board members asked whether a planned roadway/intersection project might affect the signs; Ms. Evelyn said any major reconstruction was years away. Motions to approve the sign variances were moved, seconded and approved by voice vote; the board recorded "aye" and closed each item.
The approvals included the usual permitting steps and site-specific conditions discussed during the hearing.
