Mr. Sunin~.er presented a brief staff report, stating that our Sign Ordinance would not permit this application since t',~e location is no~ within 200 feet of a freeway off-ramp, lle opined that the requc is roi-ally unreasonable and un'iustified, reco~nnending that the Cc,'nt'y P!;:nning Co~n~.~i.~;.~:ion be informed that we strenuously opp~';c approval of thi;; application. l,a call. cd to the Commissi.~n's attent'ion, the sign for the Richf'c~ ] Service Station at Red Hill and San Juan ti,at wa:; not in con for:?::.' ~',, with the sign regulations and why the County had not s~d~mit['(~d thi.~ application, if there w-,-. one, to o~,r Co;nnission ior c~"ments. -2- PC Minutes - October 23, 1967 Mr. Halus stated that he was in complete accord with the findings of the staff and since the oversized sign for Richfield has gone in, he considered it a hardship to thc residents in the residential area. He felt that there was no need or justification for a sign of this height and size at this location. Mr. Halus stated very strong opposition to the subject sign since a great deal of time and consideration has been spent on Signs within 200 ft.to freeway off-ramps and felt that it would definitely be a grant of special privilege if this application was granted. Mrs. Ludwig's opinion on the matter was that if the present sign was approximately 10 feet higher, it would be clearly visible with- out the full additional height that is being requested. Mr. Oster stated that he felt a 90 ft. sign was being very unreason- able for this particular location considering all the factors in- volved. Chairman Marsters stated that he "strenuously" opposed this request. It was moved by Mr. Halus~ seconded by Mrs. Ludwig that the Plannin~ Staff be directed .to prepare a letter to the County Planning Commission" strenuously opposing the.~pproval of this application~ stating it is unreasonable and unjustified. Mr. Halus felt that it was appropriate that the question bc raised as to the Richfield sign and why that particular sign was allowed to go in without a similar application or if there was an application why the City of Tustin was not made aware of it.

The above motion was carried unanimously. 7. COUN-CY CASE UV-5970 - Juanita Mayfield To permit the establishment of a board and care home for homeless girls in the E4 Small Estates District. Mr. Supingcr presented a bri~.f staff report, recommending opposition of UV-5970, feeling that this does not belong in an E4 District. Mr. Halus agreed with the staff findings and stated that he felt very strongly that an E4 Small Estate District should be preserved exactly as that. He did not feel that it was appropriate for this type of zoning.
