Commissioner Siekmann stated she can support the wall signs but would like to see the monument sign letter "f" be 54". She does not think the address should be added to the monument sign. Mr. Neu responded. Ms. Mobaldi stated the findings need to be made for the variance to not have the address. Chairperson L'Heureux asked about the addressing on the monument signs.
