Building Commissioner Conway clarified that the fence would start where the parking begins and would go back two parking spaces froan where their fence begins and this fence will go 20 feet beyond their fence.

Building Commissioner Conway discussed the non-conforming signs and pole signs and believed that the board shoulci formulate a policy about these signs before January 1, 1998 since variances will be requested for all of them at the same time. Mr. Gareau did not understand that all non-conforminv signs were included. He believed that the council was try:ing to eliminate pole signs. It was decided that variances could be granted to extend beyond 1998 if they are reasonable requests. It was also agreed that in some areas pole signs would be preferable to ground signs because of visibility problems. It was also suggested that perhaps the code should be changed to allow changeable copy signs since the board just approved two this evening. The members will discuss the sign issue in more detail later. The meeting was adjourned at 9:50 p.m. 10
