REQUEST TO AMEND SIGN CODE;
A letter was received by the Board of Trustees from Mr. James

allow 2 free-standing signs on business property with street
frontage of over 500 feet. This letter was referred to the
Planning Commission for consideration. Mr. James N. Graves,
representing several business owners, appeared before the
Commission to request the sign code be changed to allow 2 free
standing signs on properties where the street frontage exceeds
500 feet so that businesses can more adequately advertise. Chairman
Al Sager recommended to Mr. Graves that he go before the Board
of Adjustment to get a variance for his business. Member Richard
Wood agreed with Chairman Sager and stated that because of Mr.

go before the Board of Adjustment. Member Richard Wood moved
that the sign code not be changed. Member Margaret Houston
seconded the motion and it passed unanimously.
