The oath was admiuistered to Mr. Mariuo, sigu contractor for Circuit City. Mr. Papandreas and Mr. and Mrs. Herbster had been sworn in previously. It was clarified that the letters are only 3 feet high, the 3 foot height variance reflects the fact that the signs have one word over the other. Mr. Mariono stated that they have co-operated with the spirit of what both the developer wanted for the shopping center and what the city's sign ordinance allows. The signs on the rear are non-illuininated and merely identify where customers should go and were not considered in the sign area because they are not visible from a public way. The "customer pick-up sign" on the front is u.nder the canopy and is not illuminated. They usually have tag lines which indicated what they sell, but those have been eliminated. Normally their front signs are 42 inches high and these have been reduced to 36 inches. The architectural review board had approved this sign as submitted and the members agreed now, that they understand that the letters are only 3 feet high. J.
