Dear Mr. Large:
Please find enclosed a copy of our previous letter to you dated
February 18, 1982. In response to that letter, you telephoned
and infomed me that the sign in question was not a "readerboard"
sign, but was instead a permanent sign.
I have discussed this matter with Sally Johnson, Department
of Public Works, City of Springfield. Their records'do not indicate
any permit issued for this pemanent sign.
Please take steps to contact Sally Johnson at the Department of
Public Works regarding this matter and to obtain the necessary
permit for this sign. Consistent with your representations and
consistent with the City of Springfield Code requirements, this
sign will not be utilized as a "readerboard" sign but will be a
permanent sign for use by a business in the shopping area.
Thank you for your anticipated courtesy and cooperation.
Sincerely,
"HAR1>IS, HAROLD & LEAHY
