not hidden by the freeway.
Mr. Paul Wilmuth, 1310 Echo Park, Los Angeles
a representative of Pioneer Ckicke~ Take-Out
offered a suggestion to remove th~ "Golden"
portion of the sign and have it read "Pioneer
Chicken" in order to reduce some of the footage on
the submitted sign.
Mr. Nicola stated that he felt that if persons in
the residential area surrounding the property in
question would have objected to t~i~ sign, they
would be present to state their vic~...; ':ince there
were none, he assumed no one objected.
