City denies variances
By ANN LANGENFELD Staff Reporter
Seven requests by local businesses for sign variants were denied by the City Council in its regular meeting. Three requests were approved and one was tabulated until next week.
Three of the businesses whose requests were denied were given one year to replace their nonconforming signs.
These businesses, the Virginia Inn II, Glenwood Center, 23rd and Louisiana streets, and Henry's Drive-In, 1117 W. Sixth St., have signs that exceed the maximum allowance.
Businessmen also argued that their businesses had been in existence before the ordinance was written.

Taco Bell and Kentucky Fried Chicken each have three wall signs. The sign ordinance allows only two wall signs.
These businesses were given less time to make sign changes because they will be altering their signs rather than replacing them.
Independent Co-op is in violation of the ordinance twice because it has a roof sign and two signs on one wall that exceed the maximum square footage.
Several businessmen said they did not know about the sign ordinance until two weeks ago when they saw them on the news, then they were not in compliance with the ordinance. Businesses are to be in compliance with the ordinance, passed five years ago, by the end of March.
Clark said that ignorance of the law was not an excuse for noncompliance.
