He <br /> 12 stated that they should only allow one logo and that they should only go 60% of the frontage, <br /> 13 which would be 24-feet. <br /> 14 <br /> 15 Commissioner Stromgren asked if the current language prohibits sign boxes.

He <br /> 36 asked if this would be reasonable for the tenants. <br /> 37 <br /> 38 Mr. Crockrow explained that Subway wants to get started adding that Subway is scheduled to <br /> 39 meet with the City Council next week.
