Member Sager read from the Sign Code and stated if approved this
would give an unfair advantage to other businesses in town.
Member Newsom expressed his willingness to approve this variance
and requested the Board work with Mr. Rains.

would not require a variance. Mr. Rains stated that he didn't know
that particular sign is available or is acceptable to Ford.
