He indicated that the Kline Volvo Dealership has an identity problem in that traffic travelling north along Long Lake Road has no definite way to identify the building as being the Kline Volvo building. He is proposing to take an existing sign that is presently located on the Oldsmobile Dealer- ship, also owned by Mr, Kline, that says "Volvo" and placing it on the south elevation of the Volvo Dealership. To this would then be purchased a sign that read "Kline" so that the south elevation of the building would be signed "Kline Volvo" in lIDifonn letters, He indicated that the ordinance has a maximtnn allowable footage for such a sign of 151 sq. ft, and that the sign they were proposing to place on the structure would be approximately 400 sq, ft, A major reason for wanting to take the one sign from the Oldsmobile Dealership and place it on the Volvo Dealership would be the substantial savings in cost of fabrication. Discussion Mr. G. Johnson asked that should the Planning Commission recommend approval, would Mr, Kline be agreeable to eliminate the present painted window signs. Mr. Simons asked if the applicant would be agreeable to put no signs on the east side of the building should these variances be approved. Mr. V, Johnson asked Howard Dahlgren to clarify the sign ordinance, particularly as it pertains to the calculation of maximum sizes allowed,
