Building Commissioner Conway advised that the request should be amended to include a 1 foot height variance for `a portion of the sign. Chairman Gomersall called all interested parties before the board. The oath was adiniuistered to Mr. Miller, sign contractor, who explained that the size of the sign was determined by the overall frontage of the building and the distance it was setback from the road so that the sign would not be lost on the front. Mr. Gomersall believed that this was too big. He also thought that anyone could read a 4 foot letter from Great Northern Boulevard. Mr. Maloney agreed. Mr. Koberna suggested that the height be reduced to 4 foot since the sign would only be about 150 feet off the road. Mr. Miller thought that, if the height of the sign was reduced, they would have to reduce the `?narket place" letters to 3 or 3.5 feet. Mr. Conway estimated that if they reduced it to 4 foot letters, the sign area would be reduced by 57 square feet. J. Maloney moved to grant the request for Rini Rego's, 4700 Great Northern Boulevard, for a 39 square foot variance allowed for a business unit. Also a 229 square foot variance for sign area allowed for a wall sign. Violation of Ord. 90-125, Section 1163.11(c) and 1163.12(a). The motion was seconded by T. Koberna, and unanimously approved.

There were other neighbors present but they did not care to come forward. Mr. Gomersall questioned why they needed a 6 foot fence to contain a 2-1/2 year old child. Mr. Montalvo explained that he did not lnow about the requirements and he has purchased the lumber. Bu.ilding Cominissioner Conway advised that a 30 inch fence would lie allowed beyond the building line of the house next door. It was clarified that the neighbor's garage was next to their lot, the front yard was on the other side. Mr. Gomersall believed that a fence would obstruct visibility when the neighbor was backing out. Mrs. Montalvo stated that they were not going out that far and they are only extending the fence that is there. After some discussion, Mr. Montalvo agreed to a five foot lugh fence. W.
