1. The Council held a discussion of Appendix A of the
Denton Development Plan.
Frank Robbins, Executive Director of Planning, stated that
direction from Council was needed on the following items:
which option to choose for Appendix A, the appointment of the
Task Force and determination of when the public hearings would
be held for the plan adoption. Robbins reviewed the three
options presented at the last work session and added an
additional option which would be to the charge the Appendix A
Task Force to complete the boundary studies first and recommend
that component before the methodology and the data.
Council then held a discussion centering on the provisions of
the plans for Appendix A. Consensus was to appoint the Task
Force, schedule the public hearing when the Legal Department
had finished work on the Plan and after receiving a report from
the Task Force decide on which option to follow.

R. D. Martin, property owner of the proposed annexed property,
spoke in opposition. He stated that a lift station was
adjacent to his property which devalued his property. The City
had condemned part of his property for an access to the lift
station. He was proposing to use the property for a mobile
home park and had submitted a plat to the Planning Department
in April for that purpose. Staff had returned the plat to him
with so many markings on it that it would not allow him to
build his mobile home park. He asked to delay the annexation
for two years so as delay the required street paving which
would allow him to have the funds necessary when annexed.

Services would have to be provided by the City along with the
expense of maintaining the right-of-way on Old Alton Road.

City of Denton City Council Minutes

Cecile Carson, Urban Planner, stated that the Planning and
Zoning Commission had conducted a study session on July 13,
1988 with members of the Beautification Task Force and
representatives from the sign industry. Twenty one letters had
been sent to individuals and companies who had placed signs or
erected signs in the City for the past year. At the study
session, following the presentation of the full recommendation
of the Beautification Task Force to the Planning and Zoning
Commission, the Commission directed the staff to proceed with
one recommendation which was the moratorium. The three sign
areas requested to be included in the moratorium were: (1)
limiting the size of ground signs, (2) limiting the height size
of the sign, and (3) limiting the number of on-premise ground
signs.
Council Member Gorton asked if the moratorium would apply to
religious signs.
Carson stated that religious signs were not currently regulated
so they would not be affected by the moratorium.
Mayor Stephens asked about height limitations along major
highways. He stated that some signs needed to be high enough
so that people on the highway would see them soon enough to
turn off at the proper exit.
Carson replied that signs along the highway were regulated by
the State Highway Beautification Act and required a state
permit from the District office.
Mayor Pro Tem Hopkins stated that she was concerned that there
was no public hearing regarding the moratorium and that new
businesses would not be able to erect a second sign and that
the smaller businesses might be hurt.
Carson replied that staff had attempted to supply as much
information as possible before the study sessions so that the
public could attend. A new business could have one on-premise
sign as long as it met the proposed regulations.
Lloyd Harrell, City Manager, stated that he felt the concern
from the Planning and Zoning Commission was one of the need to
have time to study all of the rules and regulations and make
sure that they were reasonable and were the types of
regulations the City wanted in a permanent ordinance. The
moratorium was needed so that the City did not accumulate a lot
more non-conforming signs during the time period necessary to
formulate the formal recommendation for Council.

Council Member McAdams stated that she could not imagine a
small business needing a sign larger than the size permitted
and that the City needed to be protected so that a large number
of non-conforming signs did not start to appear before the
formal recommendation was approved.
Mayor Pro Tem Hopkins asked if a new small business would be
allowed any additional signs other than one on-premise sign
when it opened.
Carson stated that a new business would be allowed a ground
sign, a portable sign on-premise if they were on a separate
premise plus a temporary sign.
Alexander motion, McAdams second to adopt the ordinance.
A member of the audience asked to speak before the Council
regarding the ordinance.
Mayor Stephens stated that with Council approval the individual
could speak to the Council. Consensus was to allow the
individual to speak.
Slick Smith, 3-D Sign and Sales, stated that this was his fifth
year in the portable sign business and in that period of time
the sign industry had been promised a work session with
Planning and Zoning to work out the problems with the sign
industry. As of yet, there had been no meeting to that
effect. He felt the sign ordinance was unfair to those in a
complex which allowed only one sign per complex.
Bill Claiborne, Beautification Task Force, stated that the
moratorium allowed on-premise signs and controlled off-premise
signs. It was not the recommendation from the Planning and
Zoning Commission but a recommendation from the Beautification
Task Force.
Council Member McAdams stated that she recalled many meetings
with the sign industry when the original ordinance was being
considered.
Council Member Alexander asked Mr. Smith if he was opposed to'
the moratorium.
Smith replied that current off-premise portable signs would be
grandfathered. Eventually that would change as property owners
changed. He was not against the moratorium but was against the
stipulation of one sign per premise.
