We believe that the <br /> County Council should, as it generally dues under the County Charter, set policy m this matter. <br /> This policy can be administered by the designated agency, such as the Department of Public <br /> Works, which administers various standards in the building permit process. <br /> If the concern is that there will zhvays be a need to provide for additional consideration <br /> for exceptional circumstances, perhaps the Code can be amended to allow sign variances to be <br /> considered by the Board of Appeals which currently acts on variances from other portions of the <br /> Code. <br /> Our observation is that, although very conservative in nature and perhaps rightly so, the <br /> signage standards could be revised to allow slightly larger signs for small business proprietors <br /> who advertise at their place of business. <br /> We hope that these comments are helpful in your review. <br /> Please contact me if you should need any clarification on these comments. <br /> Very truly yours, <br /> MEI~IEZES TSCTKAZAKI YEH & MOORS <br /> ~u ~-G, <br /> R.
