DATE:February 10,1993
ht response to a request by Mr.Arian Harris,I reviewed the audio tapes of the above
ptanning Commission meetings and compared them to the written minute records.Mr.Harris'oncern was that the written record gave the impression that he was restrictedftomplacinganysignageonthewalloftheproposedadultbookstoreat2923(3001)West 65th Street.
The written record of the April 7,1992 meeting for Item No.6 (Z-5557)leaves theimpressionthatMr.Harris was restricted from having any wall signage.This is not theease.It is clear,from the audio tape,that the Commission had concerns about thepossibilitythatthefacadeofthebuildingmightbecoveredwith"mural-type"signs with
graphics,pictures or product advertising.
Ih response to a question from Commissioner Walker,a discussion of the proposed wall
Ngn took place.Atter the discussion,Richard Wood,of the Planning staff,asked for aclarificationoftheproposedlimitsonfacadesignage.Mr.Harris stated that he desired asignsimilartothatathisexistinglocationat4717West65thStreet,giving the name ofthebusinessandidentifyingtheuse.
Ctteirman McDaniel reiterated Mr.Harris'esire to have a wall sign.
The written record of the April 21,1992 meeting for Item No."D"(Z-5557)also leavestheimpressionthattheCommissionvotedtoapprovetheCUPapplicationwiththeconditionthattherenotbeanysignageonthebuilding.Again,this is not the case.
The audio tape of this meeting reveals that a discussion took place between Mr.HarrisandCommissionerOlesonregardingwallsigns.Commissioner Oleson stated that shehaddrivenbythelocationat4717West65thStreetandhadobservedthewallsignat thelocation.Mr.Harris stated that he desired to erect a similar sign at the new location at2923(3001)West 65th Street.

Commissioner Oleson asked if Mr.Harris pmposed a similar "low key"sign with muted
colors such as the blue and white sign at 4717 West 65th Street.Mr.Harris responded
that it was his intention to use the same type of signage.
The Planning Commission approved this application with restrictions an signs.I believe
it is clear from the audio tape record that these restrictions are that the ground-mounted
sign be limited to 3 feet by 4 feet in area and that the wall sign be low key and of muted
colors,similar to the sign at the existing location at 4717 West 65th Street.There is not
to be a "mural type"sign with graphics,pictures or product advertising.
