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.
