Dear Mr. Large:
I'm writing to inform you that the next Board of Appeals Meeting will be
on November 5, 1981. We lost one member and two members were out of town
most of October; therefore, we hadn't a quorum needed to hold a legal
meeting. You will be sent an agenda specifying time and place before the
November 5th meeting.. ,Your patience and understanding is appreciated.
I spoke with the City Attorneys' Office with regard to your existing sign.
As you know, the permit for that sign was issued in error. The sign should
have been a maximum height of 5' rather than 13' (please refer to the at-
tached copy). Because of the confusion created partially by misinterpre-
tation of a new Sign Code,' the City Attorney's Office felt that your sign
should be allowed the nine (9) year amorization period as is the maximum
allowed for signs which were erected prior to the adop'tion of the new Sign
Ordinance (January 1, 1981). '
Of course, as you mentioned may, happen, if your property is rezoned to
commercial beforetheamorization period is up, the existing sign will
comply with the new, Code.. as would the proposed reader board. At pre-
sent, the Board of Appeals will consider only the reader board variance
request. .
Please direct all inquiries to the Springfield Building Division ,at 726-
3753.
Sincerely,
, 0Lt(2~~i:.t7
