SUBJECT ENCROACHMENTS IN RIGHT-OF-WAY: CONSENT AGREEMENT WITH LKCM
RADIO GROUP, L.P., AUTHORIZING USE OF THE RIGHT-OF-WAY FOR A CORNER
SIGN AT 101 WEST 3RD STREET AND AN ENTRANCE CANOPY, WITH TWO
ATTACHED SIGNS, AT 115 WEST 3RD STREET '
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to enter into a consent agreement
with LKCM Radio Group. L.P. authorizing use of the right-of-way for a corner sign at 101 West 3rd
Street and an entrance canopy, with two attached signs, at 115 West 3rd Street.
DISCUSSION:
LKCM Radio Group, L.P. is in the process of installing a radio station in the Jett Building at 115 West
3rd Street. Portions of the installation include (1) a large neon blade sign at the corner of West 3rd
Street and Main Street, addressed as 101 West 3rd Street, and an entrance canopy with two attached
blade signs at the entrance of the radio station, addressed as 115 West 3rd Street.
The corner blade sign is proposed to encroach 8 feet into the public right-of-way over the existing
sidewalk. The entrance canopy and signs on 3rd Street are proposed to encroach 7 feet into the public
right-of-way over the existing sidewalk. Current policy provides that the terms of the consent
agreement require the owner to remove the signs and canopy if the business ceases to exist at this
location.
A statement from the radio station is provided below:
"The Ranch vision is to be the hometown radio station that embraces Fort Worth's cultural
past, present and future. This sign not only serves its basic purpose of storefront recognition,
it was designed to enhance the uniqueness of Sundance Square and bring back the nostalgia
of retro neon signage. Our studios in the historic Jett Building will be an interactive media
vehicle in the heart of downtown and will serve as a major asset to the community. This sign
is the focal point that will be the symbol of our vision. "
The Encroachment Committee has reviewed the requests and recommends approval, provided the
corner sign not extend past the existing canopy.
The Downtown Design Review Committee recommended approval on April 24, 2003.
The encroachments are in COUNCIL DISTRICT 9.
