and that all other signs, including banners, on the subject property should be taken down. The Chair commented that a clean, in-compliance look in the midst of the impermissible signage clutter might actually work to the applicant’s advantage in public relations, and that that would also give the Commission a good example to point at to other applicants. He also suggested that the applicant testify in front of the County Council. It was moved by Commissioner Hetherington, and seconded by Commissioner Herbert, to recommend to the Public Works Director that the sign variance application be approved as presented, subject to the condition that no other signs or banners shall be kept on the subject property. A roll call vote was taken and the motion carried with six ayes (Hetherington, Herbert, Andreae, Au Hoy, Burns and Stanbro), and one absent and excused (Saito). ADMINISTRATIVE MATTERS 1.
