Dear Anne:
I received your December 4,1997, letter today and would like to report to you some items that took
place earlier this week.
Last week I had called and left a message for Ray Garrison, the Code Enforcement Officer, to discuss
with him any concerns he might have for the placement of the Saltaire sign. Ray returned my call on,
I believe it was Monday, and asked me if the sign was in the open space lot, and if it was, the sign
would be a code violation. I indicated to Ray that I thought it was on the graded pad within Lot 8
of the Emerald Ridge East Subdivision. I then went out in the field to veri@ that in fact the sign is
placed within the flat graded pad portion of Lot 8. I passed this information onto Ray and he
indicated to me that he thought that we had a legal sign the way it was placed.
When I talked to you last week and in reference to your letter regarding the Pending Sign Permit PS
97-136, you indicated that you wanted me to show the sign location on the exhibit as part of the new
monument sign permit. You also indicated that at that time, before I had talked to Ray Garrison,
that you wanted the sign relocated and that once that was done, you would be ready to issue the sign
permit. We still feel that the sign has been placed in an area that relates more to Hidden Valley Road
than to Palomar Airport Road (200 feet from Hidden Valley Road vs. 800 feet fiom Palomar Airport
Road), and that the sign does meet the intent of the Sign Ordinance in that it is at the edge of Hidden
Valley Road which our major approach to the subdivision.

I ask that you again look at our request to retain the Saltaire sign in its present location and to issue
Sign Permit PS 97-136.
