Mr. Thompson noted that on July 17, 1989, the Board approved the temporary installation of the sign for a period not to exceed thirty (30) days but The Holladay Corporation does not feel that thirty (30) days is long enough to justify its cost of installing the sign. Mr. Thompson further noted that pursuant to Ordinance No. 7960-89, amending Chapter 6 of the South Bend Municipal Code, Section VIII., (d) allows for a temporary sign permit not to exceed ninety (90) days, with the opportunity to apply for a thirty (30) day extension through the Building Commissioner.

She further noted that one of the concerns the Board needs to address is that the sign to be installed as indicated above will encroach into the public right-o-way. There being no objections by members of the Board regarding the installation of the above referred to sign which will encroach into the public right-of-way for a period of ninety (90) days, Ms. Humphreys made a motion that a ninety (90) day period, beginning the date the permit is issued by the Building Commissioner, be approved.
