STAN HILL, 322 KING STREET WEST RE A-FRAME ADVERTISING SIGNS Mr. Stan Hill, 322 King Street West, appeared as a delegation respecting the A-frame style advertising signs that he has been using to promote his business. He advised that the outdoor patio operation of Stages located beside him has caused a problem with respect to visibility of the A-frame sign if it was left in the location required in order to comply with the regulations of the Sign By-law. He requested relief from the By-law in consideration of the fact that the fencing for the outdoor patio operation obscures the A-frame sign if left in the location required by the By-law. On motion by Alderman B. Stortz, it was resolved: "That because of the erection of enclosures for an outdoor patio operation by Stages which obscures A-frame advertising signs of King Street businesses immediately abutting Stages, enforcement of the City's Sign By-law regulation as it relates to the placement of A-frame style advertising signs by those abutting businesses be waived on a temporary basis until the Stages' outdoor patio operation ceases."
