Ames Hendrickson representing the Merchants Association of Fashion Island and Manager of the Broadway Department Store appeared before the Commission. He felt the ordinance was too compre- hensive and too detailed and could result in the desire of all businesses to be placed within a signing district which would defeat the purpose of the ordinance. He also felt that signing was a matter of opinion and taste which is difficult to regulate and that the proposed ordinance required too much, too soon, of too many people and should not be considered for adoption.' Kent Snyder, Attorney, 32195 Vista de Catalina, South Laguna, appeared before the Commission representing Ardell Investment Company.

Harry Gene Smith, owner of the Balboa Market, 608 E. Balboa, appeared before the Commission in opposition to the proposed ordinance and commented on the importance of signs to businessmen as well as the need for window signs to be displayed longe than 30 days. Sanford Freeman, 2712 East Coast Highway, Corona del Mar, appeared before the Commission in opposi- tion to the proposed sign ordinance stating that different businesses have different sign require- ments because of the type of business, speed of traffic, landscaping, etc. and should the ordinanc as proposed be adopted by the City, it was possibl that 95% of the signs in Newport Beach would • become non - conforming and have to be replaced. Jim Vitney with Chick Iverson VW appeared before the Commission and commented on signs which are required to be displayed by.the product company when a dealership is obtained. Dave Larson, owner of Harbor Inn Motel appeared before the Commission and commented on the economi impact the proposed ordinance would have on the small businessman.

At the request of Chairman Hazewinkel, Community Development Director Hogan advised the audience of the City's notification procedures in connectio with amendments to the Municipal Code. Frank Jenk, owner of a fireplace shop in Corona del Mar appeared before the Commission and display d a sign showing the signatures of persons objecting to the proposed sign ordinance and stated there were strong feelings among the small businessmen that the proposed ordinance would effect their livelihood. Gordon Getchell with the Planning Department of The Irvine Company appeared before the Commission and commented on the need fora sign ordinance and the philosophy of The Irvine Company as it pertained to signs. He advised they were in favor of a comprehensive sign ordinance that was up -date to the local standards as those people now living in Newport Beach perceive their environment to be and not something that is old, however the details need to be worked out. Planning Commiss.ion recessed at 10:05 P.M. and reconvened at 10:25 P.M. It was apparent that the ordinance as presented was unacceptable to.the local businessmen and Planning Commission discussed what action should be taken at this time, including continuing.the matter in order that further study and revisions could.be made.

Michael Gering appeared before the Commission on behalf of the Newport- Harbor Chamber of Commerce. and commented on the apathy of the business com- munity which has now turned into real concern as a result of the proposed ordinance and felt there would be more cooperation and input from the businessmen in, developing a new sign ordinance.
