Chairman Caouette re-opened the public hearing.
Mrs. Carol Ramirez, Owner of La Tijera Barber Salon, spoke in
favor of the Variance request. The reason her sign is so high
is because the Salon was built below the level of the street
several years ago. If the height of the sign was 4 ft. , it
would be the same height of the existing retaining wall.
