Dear Bob:
I am in receipt of y our two letters, dated April 8, 2008 re the resi of the
Denn Hecker Ford dealership, now located at 14702 North 60th Street. It is m
understandin that y ou wanted me to comment specificall about this location in that the
si packa for the new GMC dealership at 12696 North 60th Street has not been
determined. Your letter lists a scope of work to be completed for the new Ford location.
Please find m response after each of the points.
1. Remove the bi GM freestandin si ( 145 s feet
This is acceptable.
2. Remove the small GM used car freestandin si ( 96 s feet

5. Reface the two existing directional from service and parts to Ouicklane.
Quicklane would be considered advertising and not directional signage. The
service and parts sign could remain. Please provide a photo of these signs.
7, Move the existing Ford oval sign from the old location and put it 19 to 12 feet to
the west of where the old OM sign was so we don't hit the old footing. This sign
is 29 feet 8.5 inches if not on the brick case of 3 three feet. will that be okay
being it is temporary?
The sign will be required to be no more than 20 feet from ground level and
cannot exceed 700 square feet based upon previous approvals for the new ford
site. The sign to be moved is 130 square feet and slightly over 20 feet. A
conforming sign would need to be installed or the applicant can request a
variance to move the existing sign.
8. The existing sign on the wall that says "Denny Hecker's" will stay on the south
elevation (41.25 square feet).
This is acceptable.
9. On the west elevation, we plan to put one Lincoln Mercury sign (28 square feet).
This is acceptable.
In our response to inquiries related to the new GMC store at 12696 North 50th Street,
� v a
you may remove the signs as indicated, keep the signs that are there, but any new
signage will need to be approved. Of the 451 square feet of signage that you remove,
you can replace an equal amount of signs as long as it is the same number of signs.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call.
Sincerely,
