Sincerely, Lee Battle Senior Planner University Copy Center Case #98-433 After the NRBS meeting on Wednesday, August 19, 1998, applicant JeffPlotts contacted me and asked if we would consider allowing the sign to be placed on the awning until the other signs along College Main were moved back against the building. The Copasetic Cafe and Holik's buildings still have their signs mounted on the awning which would hide his sign if placed on the building. City Planner Jane Kee discussed this proposal with Cheryl Anz and Elton Abbott of the NRBS and agreed to allow Mr. Plotts to place his sign on the existing awning temporarily with the following conditions: The sign must be the same size as granted by the NRBS on August 19, 1998. The sign must be moved back to the building as previously approved by the NRES no later than January 1, 1999.

W Dear Natalie, ~' Let me first say that we appreciate the opportunity to re-visit the issue regarding our °"'~ exterior sign. We feel there is certainly some compromise that will satisfy aEl parties z concerned. As per our conversation today, t wiEl attend the meeting on Monday. As the situation now stands, University Copy Centers (UCC) have leased a space in the W Northgate area and is in the process of installing a copy center. Our UCC Northgate store is slated to open on September 15L. The NRB is currently in the process of establishing conformity for signs in the area and our initial plan of replacing the face of the existing awning mounted sign conflicts with the NRB's plan. My understanding is the NRB prefers that new parallel signs be mounted on the building instead of the awning. Although we agree with the NRB's views on sign placement, the Copasetic Cafe and Holick's signs are currently awning mounted signs that lie between the UCC space and University Drive. The concern is that our sign, if mounted on the building, will be somewhat obstructed by the other two awning mounted signs. Our request is simple. We propose that the NRB allow us to initially mount our sign (parallel sign only) on the awning so that we can proceed with our store opening_ At such time as the NRB persuades our Northgate neighbors to conform to the new regulations, UCC will move our sign (at our expense) accordingly. A coordinated effort between the NRB, University Copy Centers, Copasetic, and Holick's will certainly result in the best situation for all parties. I look forward to meeting with you and the NRB on Monday. Sinc y Yo rs, r~ ,~ J D. PLOTTS Vi?
