to replace the existing signs which are located on the wall area above the

center sign with a new one which complies with the sign ordinance. Mr.

recommendation.
Mr. J. Garbutt of Triple "A" Sign Company was present to represent this
case and agreed to change the color of the lettering.
On a motion by Mr. Gregory, seconded by Mr. Leung, the board approved
