The motion was seconded by Hughey and unanimously approved. Agenda Item No. 3 -- Consideration of a request for variance from Joe Ferreri at 410 Texas Avenue. Koehler reviewed the applicantts statements in the application and pointed out that the requirement to move the sign from its present location arose from enforcement of the Traffic Code. He added that the City Engineer had reviewed the application and agreed that marking the entrance would enhance traffic flow through the street intersection. Mrs. Young said it would be preferable to leave the sign as it was and that mowing it into the parking lot would create a hazard to traffic in the lot. • MINUTES, Zoning Board of Adjustment October 1$, 1977 Page 2 The Board observed that they could not vary the Traffic Code and the sign would have to be removed or relocated, and that the applicants statements concerning relocation were correct.
