The Committee was advised that the applicant requests permission for a fully enclosed skirt

The Committee noted the comments of the Region of Waterloo Transportation Planner, dated
April 13, 2004, in which they advised that any future development on this property would
require the conveyance of a 3.96 m (13 ft.) road widening. They recommend the sign be
placed outside the proposed future road widening.
The Committee considered the report of the Development and Technical Services Department,
dated March 31,2004, recommending approval of this application, subject to it being amended
to include a variance for an automatic changing copy sign located approximately 125 m from a
residential zone rather than the required 150 m and a reduced sign face clearance of 1.9 m
rather than the required 2.44 m.
