Since many people think these apartments are for sale, they would like the signs to state "Now Lea.sing". Mrs. Cooley objected to the request because, not only are these apartnnents in a residential area, but an historical district. There are signs on the site and advertiseznents in the newspapers. She questioned the need for more signs, and maintained that they can see these signs from their windows. Mr. and Mrs. Cooley pointed out where they lived and the riembers doubted that these signs would be visible froM their propeY•ty. Mr. Cooley stated that there are signs stating.that this is an apartment; there is a"Now Leasing" sign on the corner; and questioned zahy bigger signs are needed to say the sarie thing. He reminded the Board that this was not part of the mall. Building Conunissioner Conway advised that there is one "Now Leasing" sign which they are permitted by code, and they did instal]_ some other signs which were ordered removed. Ms. Henley suggested that if the banners were not acceptable, another alternative mi.ght be one 3 by 3 foot aluminum or wood, double faced sign at the front entrance which would match the permanent signs. Mr. Conway was concerned about obscuring the sight line at the driveway. Mr. Grace suggested one banner on the fence, not two as proposed. Mr. Gomersall wanted a one year limit on it. Ms. Henley agreed to amend the request for one 3 by 10 foot sign to be located on the north side of the entrance, Mr. Cooley again objected because it could be seen 6
