This variance seeks to allow sign size;c and number of sigrls that exceed the dimensions albwed by the present Sign Code. First of all, I applaud the Depelrtmerl of Public Works for alerting Mr. Burke that his proposed signs were in violation of This code. Secwnd, I would like to address the number of signs proposed. According to the cunent sign code, only ane legal marquee sign is permitted per street. Please confirm with FAr. Burke that the building fronts four separate streets. If snot, he needs to reduce the number of signs accordingly. Third, the current sign node clearly states the maximum size of a marquee sign cannot exnezd 9 square feet. The signs proposed are almost three limes the permissible size! In sddition, it lJlr. Burke: feels that other businesses arr .r. violation of the sign code, we welcome him ;o file a formal complaint for further investigation. I respectfully urge you to deny thr~ sign variance requeert by Pdr. Burke. Sin merely, n ~_I Lynn Puri r Comm. No. ~ q Ref. To:~~p~~~~! 'd? Ref. Date ^ V u i
