1. Sign at Bass Park.
The Committee met with Bass Park staff to discuss the clace-
ent of a new sign on City property at the Bass Park location.
Mr. Small indicated that the dimensions of the sign are okay
but it is the setback requirement which requires Council
permission and then Zoning Board of Appeal approval. The
normal setback requirement is 15' and the placement of this.
sign will be at 4-6' which will abutt the sidewalk but
will not project over thesidewalk area.
TheCommitteeagreed with the 4-6' setback and suggested that
a chain link fence be placed around the sign to prevent
vandalism.
2. Beer Concession - Canoe 'Race.
The City Manager indicated that he would like to discuss
the subject of a beer concession at the u ing Canoe Races.
