TO:
FROM:
RE:
Zoning Board of Adjustment
Building Official
Request for expansion of a nonconforming
structure at 817 University Drive
1. The proposed addition of sign area to the existing roof
sign will not be, of itself, nonconforming.
2. The existing structure, including both sign and building
are nonconforming due to lot size and setbacks. A var-
iance was granted on March 4, 1974 by the City Council,
sitting as the Board of Adjustment, to allow the original
construction. The sign is also nonconforming due to
moving parts and its proximity to the street. A variance
was granted by the Bo a rd of Adjustment on January 3, 1978
to this provision.
3. The lesee also intends to make extensions of the building
structure. I have refused to forward his second -~request
to this meeting in order to have time to obtain more
detailed information concerning the reasons for and lim-
itations of the original variance in 1974.
4. Enclosed in the packet you will find copies of the m ~nutes
of the above mentioned meetings.

Agenda Item Number 1 --Approval of the minutes of the meeting of
December 19, 197 8 :
Harper moved that the minutes be approved with correct ion. The
mot ion was se co nded and unanimously approved.
Agenda Item Number 2 --Reconsideration of a request for a non-con-
forming struc ture from Holiday Oi l Co mpany, 301 Unive rsity Drive:
Koeh ler reviewed testimony f rom the p revious hearing. Hughey
remarke d that the non-confor,mity of the existing structure had no
effect on the traf fic problems cited at the previous hear ing.
Mayo said that the parking plan shown was not workable and would
probably not be approved by t he City Engineer . He said that the
purp o se of the addition wa s to change the business t o a more intensive
u se in terms o f traffic and that this should not be encouraged in the area .
Koeh l er said that if objectionable spaces were del et ed there wou ld
still be enough to meet ordinance requirements.
Mr. Holiday said that vehicles now p ark on the site in whatever fashion
they choose after his bus iness closes, and that any orderly system wo u ld
be an improvement.
Hughey said that the question before t he Board is whether or not an
addition could be made to the structure and that any parking plan within
the limits of the ordinanc e is not the Board's business.
The Cha ir moved that the request be approved because the conditions of
p arking had existed for som e time, b ecuase parking on the site was suf-
ficient for the use proposed and because the proposed construction would not
increase the existing non-conformity. The motion was seconded by Harper
and was approved by the following note:

Agenda Item Number 4 --Cons idera tion of a r equest f or v ariance fr om
the parkin g r e quirement fr om Ev e r ett Treadwa y , Lot 16-B , Lakeview Ac res:
Mayo said that the Planning Commission h a d app r ove d the Conditional Us e
Permit and a p arking p lan f or th e n umber of s paces prop o s ed, but that
the Board _ wou ld s till h ave to deter~ine whe ther or no t a variance should
be granted t o allow t he redu ced number of spaces . He said that the
r e ason offered for the var i ance is t hat the nature of the practice d oes
not requ i re this number of spac es and that the applicant is not util izing
all of the area of the exist ing s truc t ure which influences the parkin g
requirement. He said that he questioned any showing of conditions of
the land. Koehler s a i d t hat this use i n a residential zone required
a conditional use permit and t h at no c hange in use c ould be made, other
than reversion to a residence without obtaining a new use permit.
He said that this could be t ake n a s a feat ure of the land .
The Chair moved that the varia nc e be g ranted becau s e us e of the prop erty
required a conditional us e p e rmit and because t he required numbe r o f
spaces were not necessary to this permitted use. The motion was seconded
by Harper a nd unanimous ly a pproved .

of Novamb er 22 2 1977:
The motion was seconded
2. Consi eration of a.Ii anneal and reauest for variance from
Ron Smestuen Ritco Inc. • Koehler explained that the request and
appeal arose .from a notification to owners .of spectacular signs construc-
ted after the ordinance regulating them. He reviewed the application
for variance and pointed out that, at the time the sign was constructed,
the p erm.it review process would not have discovered t h e discrepancy from
the ordi."'lance requireaents. He said that the movement of the sign did
not create a distraction to traffic.
\ '
Mr. Smestuen explained that the design of the sign r equired movement, and
that a new sign would be required in order to accompli sh its purpose as
a stationary sign. He cited the fact of intensive dis plays on adjoining
. property and that the sign in question serves to advertise the buildings
separated by intervening frontage. He pointed out that the delay of en-
forcement created hardship in that his opportunity to correct a violation
unknown to him:. was lost some years ago. · ·

Subject: Request for Permission to Attach an Additional Sign to Exisiti ng
Standard
Members of the Baord:
Th i s request is based on the fact that I have subleased my property at
817 University Drive to Mr Jerry Majors. It is the intention of Mr Majors
to utilize said property for selling fast food, namely~Italian Sandwiches,
soft drinks, etc.
Permission is requested to attach a sign denoting his business to the
existing standard bearing the Mr Gatti's Sigh at 817 University. In sub-
leasing the property I have reserved the right to maintain the "Mr Gattis"
sign on the property. This s ·ii gn is directly over the property afore mentioned.
Placement of additional sign is to be on the same standards, directly above
the building. The new sign will, of course, be of such size and composition
as to conform to existing surroundings complimenting neighboring advertising
and will be in compliance with the directives of the City of College Station
regarding size and lighting.
Adetailed sketch of the proposed sign will be presented at the Board
hearing. A dimersioned drawing is attached at thes time.
