He said the person who had come to his home :to tell his. family to remove the sign had not identi- fied himself and Pair. Koes wondered why this notification was not made by letter instead. Mr.. Childs indicated it has been staff 's experience that most people get more upset with a letter notification than with having someone. just drop by to discuss violation of the City ordinance with them. Mr. Koes was told he .could not put. a sign on- the City right- of-way and his sign would have to conform to the new Sign Ordinance .requirements .
