Gosswiller and Dick Horst of Coast to Coast <br /> 13 Mr. DiSanto told the Commissioners that the owners intend to continue <br /> 14 renovating the center investing a quarter of a million dollars in the <br /> 15 project.

The same plan is being followed for a <br /> is similar 20 year old center in Dallas which the owners are also <br /> 23 renovating; <br /> 24 *the sign company had offered a bulk price for individual signs which <br /> X25 the tenants could avail themselves of or contract for signs from a <br /> 26 local sign company; <br /> 27 *the sign band installation would be a joint project with a local sign <br /> 28 company and would serve to back light the individual signs; <br /> 29 *their intent would be to totally redo all the existing canopy facia <br /> 30 covering that with the sign band to include the library for which his <br /> 31 company would be paying for the signage as well as the Mobil station <br /> 32 from whom the owners have gotten some preliminary indication that they <br /> 33 would cooperate; <br /> 34 *the Dairy Queen would not be included because their signage is the <br /> 35 company logo. <br /> 36 Mr. DiSanto indicated the pylon sign would have the same <br /> 37 characteristics as the tenant signage and directory and he gave <br /> 38 detailed descriptions of each. He requested that the City allow the <br /> 39 directory to be illuminated at night. He also reported that the owners <br /> 40 were very close to signing an agreement with Coast to Coast to come into <br /> 41 the vacant Penny grocery store and serve as the anchor business for the <br /> 0 5 <br />
