Sign CorrespondenceThe City of Kalispell Incorporated 1892 Telephone (406)752-6600 Building Department Fax: (406)755-8017 PO Box 1997 Zip 59903-1997 Craig Kerzman Building Official Brian Wood August 300 1993 Zoning Administrator Dwain Elkins Building Inspector Colleen Thompson Richard "Dick" Fura Scoreboard Pub Building Inspector 75 Woodland Park Drive Kalispell, MT 59901 I am writing to apprise you of the status of the sign permit application which you submitted to this office on August 23rd. After visiting the site and reviewing the Scoreboard's file pertaining to existing signs, it has been determined that a permit cannot be issued at this time. Upon annexation to the city, the Scoreboard property was zoned B-1, Neighborhood Commercial. The City of Kalispell's Zoning Ordinance contains very restrictive standards for signs in this district. Signage for a non-residential use such as yours is limited to 24 square feet (total!). Our records indicate that the existing signs at the bar havi been properly registered with the city. I have attached copies of the permit and photos of the registered signs. The total square footage of the registered signs is, according to the permit, just under 395 square feet. Obviously, the Scoreboart exceeds the allowable square footage at this time. Because the signs were properly registered with the city, this isn't a problem and the existing signs can remain "as is". However, if you want to add additional signage, it would first be necessary to reduce the existing signage to the point th - at all signage on the site (existing plus proposed) meets the requirements of the sign code. I apologize for the delay in responding to your request. If you have any questions, feel free to call. Sincerely, _� 1__� Brian J.

Box 1997 Kalispell, MT 59903-1997 Re: Scoreboard and signs Dear Glen: Phone (406) 752-4120 Fax (406) 752-5015 Please find herewith a copy of a letter from Brian Wood to Colleen Thompson who is the assistant manager at the Scoreboard Pub and a copy of a letter that Colleen wrote regarding the matter. Brain has the original application but before requesting he approve it I wanted to send this information to you. Although as Colleen's memorandum indicates there are some questions about the propriety of denial now, that is really not at issue. The question is can we make accommodation. The Scoreboard proposes to eliminate one of the 4 by 8 signs on the property, which has city licence number 01400, and appears as one of the four signs listed at item 4 on the map I have included. In addition, it would delete the Pork Chop John sign which is number 7 on the map which also has been previously approved by the City. The Pork Chop John sign, to my understanding, is 5 by 6 and two sided. The deletions would effectively cause the following signed square footage to be removed from the Scoreboard sign square footage: 1. The 4 by 8 - 32 square feet; 2. Two sided 5 by 6 - 60 square feet; for a total of 92 square feet. The new sign is a 4 by 8 but is also two sided that would yield a net of 64 square feet. My question for you, that I wish you would advise Brian and myself, is by deleting the two signs indicated herein, is it not true that we come in compliance with your interpretation of the regulation as explained by your memorandum dated November 4, 1992 to Mr. Kerzman from you regarding non conforming sign and sign area allowance. If you concur with this we will go ahead and process the additional application. I remain, Sincerely, Richard DeJana RDJ/rwb Enclosure CC. William T.
