Mr. Egan appeared and stated he would comply with all provisions of the ordinance and presented a sketch of a sign which he wished to erect. The sign as presented on the sketch would not comply with the ordinance. Councilman Werder moved, seconded by Councilman Armstrohg, that Mr. Egan be granted a permit to conduct a used car lot at Main and Maple Streets subject to conforming to the ordinance in all respects as well as that governing the erection of signs. Motion passed with Councilman McNulty in the negative. City Attorney McCarthy`advised that the ordinance says that a sign must not be in excess of 4 feet in width and 16 feet in length.
