Contested Sign Variance OKed for Collins-Hunter Center
The Zoning Board of Adjustments approved a $40,000 sign variance for the Collins-Hunter shopping center on Parkway Drive near Redbud Ave despite a city attorney opinion that the board lacked authority.

Senter Jr. prepared a legal opinion on the board’s jurisdiction and followed a combined council and zoning board meeting that aimed to clarify the C-2A sign policy. The vote was swift and further muddles the center’s planned signage under city zoning.
