representing Ross Moore Enterprises presented the item. Mr. Lewis informed the Board

new pole sign. The design and appearance would be similar to the pole sign constructed
for property at the northwest corner of Rufe Snow Drive and North East Loop 820
frontage road. The new sign would provide advertising for the new Chick-fil-A restaurant,
as well as the future tenant of the existing Chick-fil-A building at 5131 Rufe Snow Drive.
The proposed sign is 65 feet in height and includes two tenant panels of 200 square feet
