Dee Stalder, Chairman D6rothy L. ~rd, Secretary Chairman Stalder asked that the following statement be included in the minutes: the feeling of the commission is they feel the granting of the appeal of the variance of Don Neves is against the meaning and intent of the ordinances, which has just been passed, also due to the fact that these people were informed of what to expect in relationship to size of signs, and they had indicated they had no need of the larger sign, due to the fact the need only indentify the location and not advertise. We would also like to caution the council that many of the problems we are now facing are due to the fact that exceptions to the ordinances have been issued readily and could open serious p~pt~lems in the f~ture.
