Alice Finst entered the meeting at 8: 05
Ms. Ruby reported on several changes that would make the Ordi-
nance more specific and clear. The criteria for the granting of
variances by the Board ( the preservation of the historic charac-
ter of a building and on unnecessary hardship cases) needs to be
more specific. Ms. Ruby would like to be notified by the Board in
advance when they have scheduled a variance hearing so that she
may be present.
Ms. Ruby asked the Board for clarification concerning the grant-
ing of a sign variance. Mr. Johnson reported that the Board would
only grant a variance to the sign code when it involved the
historic character of a building.
Ms. Ruby suggested that on page six ( 6) of the Ordinance a change
be made deleting the words "architectural plans" and replacing
them with the phrase "plans and/or photos. "
