Gomersall wondered why the north elevation sign cannot be reduced to a four foot height. Mr. Meister explained the larger letters emphasize the larger tenants. Mr. Gomersall questioned how much the variance request on the north elevation would be reduced if the letters were reduced to a maximum of five feet. W.
