<br />Memo � 2�- Marcr 8, �. 9 5 2 ri
<br />4, To our knowledge fihere has been no di�ficulfiy with `'
<br />administe:ring the present r.egula�ions with �espect -to t�e `'�
<br />control of billboardso `'
<br />�;}
<br />5o The Commission did n�t feel that the adjusfiments were in r
<br />order for the industrial dis�a�ict, though i-� may well be '�;
<br />feasible to consid�r the applieation of �he dis�ance factor �
<br />in setting the maximum sign ar�a and -�he use of the larger ,;.
<br />percentage sign area all.owanec when using apen le��ers rather �
<br />than a framed sign with backingo ;
<br />6o One of the regulafii�ns that the t'l�nning Commissian feels
<br />should definitely not be changed is the requirement that no
<br />signs be painted dix�ectly on building wallsa This is one
<br />requ�rement �hat all the sign cumpanies hav� generally a�reed ,
<br />� with, feeling that such signs are a cor:�iderable problem not '
<br />}` only in terms of maintenance but ir. �term � o.f gene?^aZ appearance
<br />as wello '
<br />'` ?, Some of you will recall that many meetings were held with
<br />,, rzpresentatives of the sign companies and the oil companies
<br />;~,. some time a�o when the last revision to the Sign Ordinance ,�
<br />' was considered, There was, at �hat time, general agreement ;
<br />rr :
<br />`' with �he Ordinance as it standa with perhaps some exc�ption to _
<br />the maximum l00 sqo fto currently required in the "B-2", "g-3"
<br />���� and the "SC" Districto One represen�ative of a local sign
<br />company tSto Paul) a�tended the Plannin� Commission meeting
<br />of March 7, and noted what we also believe to be a princiPon
<br />�� problem of administration, ieo the paper work administrati ;
<br />necessary for a sign company to operats in the metropolitan .�
<br />� area under various codes� as well as records necessary to
<br />- individual communitieso A frequent procedure is ane of inerely
<br />designing a.sign for the customeT, preparing a small �ketch, :
<br />i�`��� subma.tt�.ng lt to the Building Snspector "to see if th�y will ��
<br />'� 3�et us put it up" . Such a procadure will, of caurse, irequQt��ly t
<br />,
<br />`� produce a condition wherein � variance appears to be ir� ordern
<br />,.

<br />��= � the cuxrent signe prop�sed ior conatruction in the Vil.lager
