Mayor Bertucelli then asked if anyone present jn the audience wish to offer an oral protest Mr. Lynn 51wood of Lucky Stores, Inc., spoke: "We are requesting this permit to allow for a temporary sign to provide the need to identify from Skyline Boulevard. We have had many comments from people who did not even know there was a supermarket in the buildings even though they have passed ~t many times. At the present time, it ~s a cluster of buildings with nothing to let them know there is a supermarket in the cluster. This area was primarily residential with buildings between the store and the Skyline Boulevard and since housing has suffered a slow-down, this area consequently wasn't developed. Therefore, until the area does develop, we are requesting a temporary sign of the speci- fications presented to the Planning Commission. I am sure you understand why we consider PUBLIC HEARING US~ PERMIT - 35 ( CONTI ~JED ) o RESOLUTION NO. 4645 ORD2RING UP-35 TO STAND APPROVED: RSSOLUTION NO. 4646 AUTHORIZING TRANSFER OF FUNDS C.C.&F. ~ C.C.&F.~2-A: RESOLUTION NO. 4647 APPROVING CERTIFICATE OF COST C.C.&F.

This is why we are requesting a tempor- ary sign and we know there is no provision for this. Ne would be willing and agreeable to a time limit here or whatever you recommend. We will do whatever you think is reason- able. ~e are willing." In answer to Councilman Ahern's question as tc the cost of the sign on a temporary basis, Mr. Elwood stated that he did not have this information but that it would be a simple wooden sign illuminated by spot lights at night time. Councilman Ahern stated that the applicant would hate to take down a sign that would cost too much to which ~r. ~lwood replied that when the residential and business area does build up, there will be no need for ~t and that this is why they are requesting a temporary sign which would be put up in wooc rather than an illuminated neon type and that there would be no expense as far as this work is concerned. Councilman Rozz! mentioned that Council had earlier recommended that afternoon to Mr. ~ass that this might be worked out on a temporary basis. In answer to Mr. Elwood's question as to what steps he should take, Mayor Bertucelli stated that he would probably be notified by the Planning Commission and that they were to meet the next Monday evening. City Attorney Noonan suggested the adoption of a resolution by Council which would carry into effect the conditions made by Council and preserve the time so that Council would have jurisdiction, after which Councilman Rocca introduced: '~ RESOLUTION ORDERING UP-35 OF THE SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO PLANNING CO.N~ISSION TO STAND APPROVED UPON THE ESTABLISHMENT OF CERTAIN CONDITIONS BY THE PLANNING CO~ISSION (LUCKY STORES SIGN - WESTBOROUGH-CALLAN BOULEVARD)."
