SIGN VARIANCE
The Chair announced that the adjourned meeting had been scheduled to
give further consideration to the request of the Bell Electrical
Signs, Inc. for a variance to permit the installation of a sign in
the industrial area fourteen feet higher than that permitted in the
Sign Ordinance of the City of Burlingame.
Communications from the Bell Electrical Signs, Inc., dated July 13,
1961, indicati g the location, the height and construction of said
sign and reque ting an early consideration by the Commission of the
proposed installation, were re -read.
Reference was a to prior discussion on the desire of the owners to
erect a revolv ng sign to -identify the two firms preparing to occupy
the building.
Further referelrkce was made to action continuing the hearing to this
date to afford Commissioners an opportunity to personally view the
site and the o,4mers time to consider an alternate plan for a
stationa•. , sign.
Mr. Dewey Bell of the Bell Electrical Signs, Inc. advised that the
owners would prefer favorable consideration to the erection of a
revolving sign with the firm name appearing on each face, or if
denied, that it remain as planned originally.
In reply to th Chair's request for Commission comments, Commissioner
Moore reported on his personal visitation and approval of the size
and height of the sign, expressing objection, however, to a revolving
type sign. Co issioner Moore stated that in his opinion, approval
of a revolving sign would establish a precedent and permit future
applicants to porbaps request larger and flashing type signs.
Commissioner Ki dig expressed his concurrence with views expressed by
Commissioner Moore, adding further that considerable building will
occur in the future development of East Millsdale No. 2 and some
control should 14e maintained on the type sign to be erected.
