Signs <br /> existing at the Mendota and Crystal centers <br /> were reviewed and were noted to be similar to <br /> the request being made by the applicant. <br /> Director Sheldon went explaince <br /> o on to that n <br /> you lower the sign, <br /> even to 50 feet, you <br /> cannot Ar doi.:r <br /> Y 9 <br /> i `' <br /> see it over the bridge, so from Staffs <br /> you have started to lose the <br /> perspective, <br /> v k....v <br /> connection between the bridge and the need luesiiitik <br /> for a variance.
