with the problem, and the City Engineer advised that the work could be

underway within approximately two weeks.
UNFINISHED BUSINESS:

The City Clerk advised that Mr. E.C. Morel, of Walburn Neon Ltd.,

¥ Walburn Neon Ltd.

re sign changes Was in attendance to discuss an application for a sign at 2540 Shaughnessy
-2540 Shaughnessy

Mall

Mall, and on invitation of His Worship the Mayor, Mr. Morel stated the
proposal is a much needed item for two reasons; firstly, since opening
the Mr. Karass Steak House last February, the need for more permanent
and better identification has been indicated to Mc. Karass by many
patrons; and secondly, after reviewing many approaches to solve this
problem, the proposal submitted seems to be the least objectionable.

Mr. Morel stated he understood from Mr. Horner of Lincoln Projects Ltd.,
owners of Shaughnessy Mall, that the Land Use Contract provided for
signs on a roof garden, which Mr. Karass is intending to develop.

Moved by Alderman Ranger:

Seconded by Alderman Mabbett:

That the recommendation of the Building & Protection Committee as
stated in a report from the Senior Building Inspector, September 18th,
1974, that no sign changes be made for the 2540 Shaughnessy Mall as
outlined in the proposal submitted, be adopted.

Prior to the question being called on the foregoing proposed resolution,
a discussion ensued, and Alderman Ranger commented that it is not a
matter of just one sign, but of signs all along Shaughnessy Street, and
he stated his concern that should the application be approved, it would
start a precedent which would defeat the attempt to up-grade Shaughnessy
Street. Mr. Morel stated that he was not aware the sign would be contrary
to the Sign By-law, as according to his interpretation there is nothing
non-conforming about it. Mr. Morel also stated again that he understood
the Land Use Contract provided for signs on the roof; however, Alderman

Ranger stated his understanding was that the Land Use Contract provided

for facia signs, but not free-standing signs. Alderman Laking stated he

would like some clarification on the type of signs provided for in the
Land Use Contract, and His Worship the Mayor suggested that the Contract
should be reviewed.

Moved by Alderman Traboulay:

Seconded by Alderman Laking:

That the proposed sign changes for 2540 Shaughnessy Mall be tabled

for one week. Carried.
