JONES SIGN 14ATTER City Planner Wagner reviewed the matter for the commission. Member Smith felt that the Tea Room sign which was mentioned (due to its size) had no bearing on this case. Member Ramage stated that in the original application for a zone variance a sign was not even asked for but Mr, Jones agreed to display one after it was mentioned that it was a State requirement. It was understood by the Members of the Commission that this sign was to be displayed.in the office window. Chairman Mulff stated that the size of 1 1/2 sq. ft. was set as a matter of long-standing practice. City Planner Magner suggested the proper procedure in this matter would be for the Joneses to apply for another variance to allow the proposed sign. Mrs. Jones was present and said, ' The night you granted the zone variance I did not understand the size of the sign -- I had the sign made and erected. When my husband saw it he said he felt it was larger than the zone variance called for. I said it Vo uldn't hurt our place and to let it stay unless the neighbors objected. Instead the neighbors told me they thought it was nice. Then I got the letter from the Commission.. This is making an official molehill out of a little- thing. I .think you should try to see both sides of every question." Mr. Long stated that he was connected with the matter also. When asked his connection-he stated that he is a real estate salesman and h.--s a desk in their office. Member Ramage mentioned that this was not included in the petition for a zone variance. It was moved by Member Smith, second-c'; by Member Ramage; .and carried, that the action of the Planning Commision at the October 6 meeting be sustained, Member Drew did not vote.
