Baptist Church, 1301 North Gregg Avenue, on an application to vary
height, size, area, and location of sign, There was no one present
to represent the application; nor was there anyone present to oppose
the application. The Board postponed the hearing on the request
until someone could be present to represent the application,
The next item of business was a public hearing on Appeal Nb. 71-3,
Kerr-McGee Oil Corporation by Boyer Sign Company, 1348 West Sixth
Street, on an application to vary height of sign. M. C. Boyer
was present to represent the application. He requested a variance
to erect the sign 25 ft, high rather than the height of the
building or approximately 16 ft, high. He said the cantilevered
effect of the sign made it possible for vehicles to drive under
it and he wanted it high enough to clear trucks and trailers.

Peg Anderson.
The public hearing was closed,

onto his kitchen and a variance in setback from Washington to
enlarge his front porch. He asked for a setback of 23 ft, from
11th Street rather than 30 ft,, 25 ft, for zoning and 5 ft„ for
Major Street Plan. He asked for a setback of 24 ft, from Washington
rather than'25 ft, Mr. Yates asked whether the porch might; not be
shortened one foot so no variance would be needed from Washington.
There were no questions from the audience.
The public hearing was closed.
The next item of business was a public hearing on Appeal No, 71-1,
National Life & Accident Life Insurance Company, 935 North College
Avenue, on an application to vary setback of sign. This had been
deferred from September 27, 19712 because there was no one present
at that time to represent the application. Jerry Hammonds was
present at this meeting Mr. Hammonds requested permission to place
a new sign on an existing pole which would be only 312 ft. from a side
property line rather than 15 ft. as required. Mr, Clinton. requested
the pole nearest the highway be completely removed and suggested the
proposed sign be raised some to give better clearance beneath it,

Mr. Hammond agreed and also stated he planned to remove a pole fence
along the property line to enable traffic to get in and out better.

Accident Insurance Company on condition the height of the sign from
the bottom of the sign to grade level be 7 ft., and on condition that
they remove the post closest to the highway and also remove the fence.

as preselnted. Roy Clinton seconded; it was approved unanimously.

to be set to conform to the regulations, it would probably create a
traffic hazard, Roy Clinton moved to approve the variance request of
Kerr-McGee Oil Corporation. Suzanne Lighton seconded. It was
approved unanimously.

as Mr. Robinson had not had an opportunity to read his copy yet.
