<br />a
<br />Sign at Toby's, River Bend Plaza, R -66: Commission approval
<br />was requested of the Sign Committee's recommendation for double
<br />face projecting sign, (orange raised letters on blue background),
<br />with projection of 24 ", non - illuminated, at Toby's, River Bend
<br />Plaza, 120 -A South Michigan Street, with sign to be mounted above
<br />line of proposed sidewalk canopy, Project Indiana R -66.
<br />Mr. Brownell advised the City of South Bend does have an ordinance
<br />on signs and we could not approve the permanent sign that he wanted,
<br />but we are working out a plan here to give Toby's a temporary sign
<br />which he will make himself, of the dimensions noted above. Com-
<br />missioner Wiggins added that we are trying to accommodate this
<br />temporary situation and the Commission would have been perfectly
<br />willing to accommodate the situation at any time had a request been
<br />made. Maybe this is one of the better functions of the Press that
<br />it gets all these things out that something happens -- reference to`
<br />Ms. Derbeck's article in The South Bend Tribune, on Toby's, "Plaza
<br />Venture Loses Glow."
<br />Motion was made by Mr. Wiggins, seconded by Mr. Cira and unani-
<br />mously carried, for the approval of the above sign as recommended
<br />by the Sign Committee.
