4507 NORTH INTERSTATE 35 Sign Proposal for Apple Tree Holdings Alex Ybarra Director, Apple Tree Holdings LLC 4507 N IH 35 SVRD Case Number: C16-2022-0004 Page 1 of 27 Item-3/1 INTRODUCTION The property at 4507 North Interstate 35 is uniquely situated at the I-35 split and is surrounded by several trees. 4507 N IH 35 SVRD Case Number: C16-2022-0004 Page 2 of 27 Item-3/2 LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE Relevant Code: §25-10-123 (Expressway Corridor Sign Districts) (B)(2)(b)(i) and §25-10-123 (B)(3)(a) which regulate the sign area and sign height, respectively. 4507 N IH 35 SVRD Case Number: C16-2022-0004 Page 3 of 27 Item-3/3 VARIANCE FINDINGS First: The existing sign is blocked from view by large trees, many of which are over 35 feet high. These trees are either on neighboring properties or city property; therefore, petitioner has no control over those trees. We would also like to preserve trees on the 4507 property to the fullest extent possible. The proximity to the I-35 split also causes visibility issues. 4507 N IH 35 SVRD Case Number: C16-2022-0004 Page 4 of 27 Item-3/4 SAMPLE FOOTER TEXT 4507 N IH 35 SVRD Case Number: C16-2022-0004 Page 5 of 27 Item-3/5 SAMPLE FOOTER TEXT 4507 N IH 35 SVRD Case Number: C16-2022-0004 Page 6 of 27 Item-3/6 SAMPLE FOOTER TEXT 4507 N IH 35 SVRD Case Number: C16-2022-0004 Page 7 of 27 Item-3/7 SAMPLE FOOTER TEXT 4507 N IH 35 SVRD Case Number: C16-2022-0004 Page 8 of 27 Item-3/8 SAMPLE FOOTER TEXT 4507 N IH 35 SVRD Case Number: C16-2022-0004 Page 9 of 27 Item-3/9 SAMPLE FOOTER TEXT 4507 N IH 35 SVRD Case Number: C16-2022-0004 Page 10 of 27 Item-3/10 SAMPLE FOOTER TEXT 4507 N IH 35 SVRD Case Number: C16-2022-0004 Page 11 of 27 Item-3/11 SAMPLE FOOTER TEXT 4507 N IH 35 SVRD Case Number: C16-2022-0004 Page 12 of 27 Item-3/12 VARIANCE FINDINGS Second: The granting of these variances will not have a substantially adverse impact upon neighboring properties as our assessment is that continued development of 4507 provides a benefit to the neighborhood through crime reduction, continued investment, and improvement of a previously abandoned property. Additionally, the LED sign is equipped with two photocells that ensure that the sign adjusts to ambient lighting conditions. This feature preserves ambient lighting conditions, whereas a traditional cabinet sign uses a light that is on a single fixed setting. These safeguards prevent any type of light pollution. 4507 N IH 35 SVRD Case Number: C16-2022-0004 Page 13 of 27 Item-3/13 LETTER IN SUPPORT Our neighbor, Copernicus STEM Academy, signed a letter in support of the sign variance. Originally, the concept was for a 240 square foot sign, and this larger design was supported by our neighbor. 4507 N IH 35 SVRD Case Number: C16-2022-0004 Page 14 of 27 Item-3/14 SAMPLE FOOTER TEXT 4507 N IH 35 SVRD Case Number: C16-2022-0004 Page 15 of 27 Item-3/15 SAMPLE FOOTER TEXT 4507 N IH 35 SVRD Case Number: C16-2022-0004 Page 16 of 27 Item-3/16 VARIANCE FINDINGS Third: The proposed remodel of the sign is consistent with the character of the expressway corridor sign district. Many professional offices, restaurants, and other types of businesses use signs that are very similar to the proposed remodel. 4507 N IH 35 SVRD Case Number: C16-2022-0004 Page 17 of 27 Item-3/17 SAMPLE FOOTER TEXT 4507 N IH 35 SVRD Case Number: C16-2022-0004 Page 18 of 27 Item-3/18 SAMPLE FOOTER TEXT 4507 N IH 35 SVRD Case Number: C16-2022-0004 Page 19 of 27 Item-3/19 SAMPLE FOOTER TEXT 4507 N IH 35 SVRD Case Number: C16-2022-0004 Page 20 of 27 Item-3/20 SAMPLE FOOTER TEXT 4507 N IH 35 SVRD Case Number: C16-2022-0004 Page 21 of 27 Item-3/21 REVIEW OF PERMIT The public records show a 20x10 sign was approved at the property. We are seeking the same size as this business. 4507 N IH 35 SVRD Case Number: C16-2022-0004 Page 22 of 27 Item-3/22 VARIANCE FINDINGS Fourth: Granting a variance will not provide a special privilege not enjoyed by other businesses due to the previous examples, as well as the neighboring In-N-Out, Lamar Advertising, and U-Haul. 4507 N IH 35 SVRD Case Number: C16-2022-0004 Page 23 of 27 Item-3/23 4507 N IH 35 SVRD Case Number: C16-2022-0004 Page 24 of 27 SAMPLE FOOTER TEXT Item-3/24 4507 N IH 35 SVRD Case Number: C16-2022-0004 Page 25 of 27 SAMPLE FOOTER TEXT Item-3/25 SAMPLE FOOTER TEXT 4507 N IH 35 SVRD Case Number: C16-2022-0004 Page 26 of 27 Item-3/26 THANK YOU 4507 N IH 35 SVRD Case Number: C16-2022-0004 Page 27 of 27 Item-3/27
