The oath was administered to Mr. Hartzell, tenant and Mr. Jarvis, sign contractor. Mr. Gomersall believed this was entirely too much signage. Mr. Hartzell stated this is a necessity for his business, as he has no visibility at all. Mr. Gomersall advised this board is attempting to cut down on excess signage. He noted exceptions are made occasionally if there is an overriding situation. Mr. Maloney explained one sign was added within tlie last few months, however it was a temporary one year sign that was permitted due to extenuating circu.mstances.
