Dear Charlie:
Since the beginning of the construction of our Chamber of
Commerce building in the Spokane Valley adjacent to the fire
district fire station and across from IIniversity City, xe have
been reminded recently by our arohitect that among the soning
requirements under RO zoning we are only allowed 30 square feet
of sign surface to be secured to the face of our building.
In examining the businesses now established or being cor-
structed to the east and south looking out the windows of ou_,
building yet to be completed, we see an illuminated sign frc:;.
Kinney Shoes which will soon be complimented by a sign to be
erected west of Kinneys, adjacent to the fire station and or
east side of Balfour, approximately 200 fet
boundry of the Chamber of Commerce propert;. ,
Directly across from our new building _ - - - ~ - -
Home with their brightly lighted sign, and to the south lies
the IIniversity City Shopping Center illuminated in a maze of
parking lot standards, illuminated building signs, Standard Oi
Compariy's sign, and climaxed by a huge sign identifying IIniver-
sity City. To the west lies the yet to be developed 10 acres
of Pring property which, if my experience in the real estate
industry tells me anythingo will certainly develop into a com-
mercial or business complex of some magnitude.
Enclosed is a sketch of a slgn by Wyatt & Groesbeck which
is complimentary to the exterior design of our new building,
with a location designation included, which would be east of
the entry drive and ho1,Tld3rles of our ?r'
foot plantinc- stri-D.

and forthtirith apply for a variance in regard to the size and location
