Mr. Schavauzer stated that there are two wall signs; one on the west side of the building facing Highway 169 and Main Street. and one on the south side towards the Home Depot and Wal-Mart. Mr. Schavauzer suggested that instead of brick for the base of the sign. that they use the same block as was used on the building.
