Dear Ms. Folks,
TEL:(415) 342-8931
We wish to advise you that at their meeting of October 3, 1983, the City
Council denied without prejudice your appealed application for a sign
exception to have 71 SF of sign�ge and signage on an awning or canopy
which exceeded a space of 8" in height. Denial without prejudice means
that you may submit an alternative design for signage which may require
a sign exception to the Planning Commission for action. You must request
a new sign or remove the current non-conforming sign within 30 days. If
there has been no action in 30 days, the matter will be referred to the
City Attorney for additional action.
Planning staff will be glad to discuss with you further the details of
this particular Council action, we can be reached at 342-8931.
Sincerely yours,
���� �� �

CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
OCTOBER 3, 1983

Councilwoman Barton revised her motion to deny without prejudice with
the approval of seconder Councilman Mangini. Motion carried unanimously
by roll call vote of inembers present.
yyy APPEAL OF DENIAL OF SIGN EXCEPTION FOR PERSONAL TOUCH, 1211 BURLINGAME
� AVE.
� City Planner reviewed her memorandum of September 23 in which she
recommended council hold public hearing and take action to either up-
hold or reverse the Planning Commission denial, or grant part of the
applicant's request.
LVice Mayor Amstrup opened the public hearing.
Danny Parodi, 1211 Burlingame Avenue, one of the applicants, stated they
have been in business for five years but just recently put up new sign
on awning; need to make public aware of what type of business this is
since Personal Touch could mean many things. They were not aware that
a permit was needed.
There being no other comments, the hearing was closed.
. Council discussed again its concerns about businesses which are not
aware of city's sign code. Chamber of Commerce is sending list of city
rules to all businesses and city is now providing all new business license
applicants with the same list. Ignorance of the law is no excuse.
Council agreed that this was an attractive sign but were reluctant to
grant a special privilege to this business.
Councilwoman Barton wondered if sign companies are aware of ci£y codes.
Councilman Martin inquired of City Planner if the ribbon design were
removed from sign would square footage be within code; City Planner
replied no. Councilman Martin stated the sign code is a"horror;" if
sign were on building it could be approved, but since it is on awning
it is illegal.
S Councilman Mangini moved to deny sign without prejudice. Seconded by
� Councilwoman Barton. Motion carried on roll call vote, Councilman
Martin voting no. "
