CAPITAL IMPROVE-
MENT PROGRAM - amount of work that has been accomplished during the

COUNCILMAN RICHARD
DAVIS have completely reconstructed, eleven street overlayed
and fifty-two streets have been seal-coated. He
also briefed the Council on the new proposals
currently under conssideration for the next incre-
ment of CIP projects. He asked the Council for
their recommendations on specific streets they would
like to be included. He asked that their recommen-
dations be submitted to him or Councilman Davis by
December 1st. The possibility of deleting from the
CIP Hewitt, Big Fossil, Mickey, Center and Morgan
Meadows East was discussed. The funds would then be
transferred to the new East-West thoroughfare on
Watauga Road. It was suggested that the completion
of this thoroughfare would provide the much needed
East-West thoroughfare, as well as relieve conges-
tion on Rufe Snow and the congenstion at Davis Blvd.
and Grapevine Hwy. It was decided that further
action regarding the CIP street selections would be
delayed until the January CIP Meeting.

Mr. Larry Callicott, representative for Federal Signs,
appeared before the Council.
Mr. Callicott stated that they had asked for one sign, 65
feet in heighth and the ordinance called for 50 feet overall
height. Mr. Callicott asked if the Logo sign requested
would be a variance.
Mr. Line stated that there were basically three items that
the City tried to govern with the Sign Ordinance, the height,
the number of signs and the size. Mr. Line stated that all
of the standards that had been set were being requested to
be waived.
Mr. Callicott asked if the indoor menu board would fall under
the number of signs.
Mr. Line stated it was his understanding the sign was on the
outside of the building.
Mr. Callicott stated it was located inside the building.
Mr. Line stated it was his understanding one menu sign was
located outside.
Mr. Callicott stated there was one also outside.
Mr. Callicott stated they had also requested two directional
signs 3.85 feet in size but they would comply with the
ordinance which stated 1.00 square feet. Mr. Callicott
stated they were only asking for a variance on the height
of the sign and the exterior menu board.
Mayor Faram asked Mr. Callicott what other variance, besides
the height of the sign, were they requesting.
Mr. Callicott stated the exterior menu board.
Mr. Line stated it was his understanding they were also
requesting a variance to the size of the sign.
Councilman Davis stated there was also an additional item
concerning the outdoor menu board.
Mr. Line stated the logo on the building was also another
item requested, the ordinance only permitted one sign on
the property.
Mr. Callicott stated he interpreted the ordinance to say
you could have a building sign and a ground sign.
Mr. Line stated that was not his understanding of the
ordinance.
