Ain e City Clerk AMR/imp May 18, 1990 Mrs. Alice M Reimche City Clerk Call Box 3006 Lodi, CA 95241-1910 Re: Zoning denial of Zoning Variance - Wine Country Plaza Dear Mrs. Reimche: On behalf of the owner of Wine Country Plaza, Mr. Greg Tcherkoyan, I wish to appeal the Planning Commission's denial of our request to add sign space to the existing monument sign located in front of Wine country Plaza. The request originated because one of our major tenants, Century 21 Real Estate, has inadequate signage on the existing sign, inasmuch as the lettering had to be so small that the sign is impossible to read even from Kettleman Lane. Subsequently, we had hoped to add more signage space to the bottom of the sign to allow Century 21 to have a larger space with more readable letters. This would also provide us with a few locations with which to accommodate future tenants. The appearance of the monument sign, nor its height or width would change as a result of this request. I solicit your consideration in providing us with this Zoning Variance to increase the ^ign space. Thank you for your time &id attention to this matter, Sincerely 7 Oennifer Reich Property Manager JLR: is cc: Greg Tcherkoyan Gary's Signs 191`) Grana Can:!
