Dear Council members, As per a code check made in May and conversation's with Amanda Smith in the pass month, this letter intends for d. application of a sign permit variance for the above mentioned sites. The two Bell Canada sites are respectively Zone R3 and R5 which does not allow signage on them. The existing signage is therefore grandfathered.

The signs we are proposing on both properties are a little over 4sq.feet only without Illumination. These are intender to identify the -building and not necessary to promote the service neither as to advertise. We (Pattison Sign Group and Bell Canada) feel that the above request is reasonable knowing the only the sign desigi changes and that we are keeping a similar square footage as the existing signs. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me at 506-737-1787.
