• Page 12 of 14 • Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes of 4-29-93 u B. Don Skelton, of Skelton Realty, spoke in favor of signs relating to the marketing of real properties by individual owners or real estate brokers or agents. Mr. Skelton wants to be able to advertise property by providing small directional signs for traffic seeking the property. Allen Schubert, developer of Glen Meadows Subdivision, agrees with Mr. Skelton. He feels that homebuilders, in order to inform the public of available housing, should have the opportunity to place small bootleg direction signs.

The ordinance amendments, as proposed, do not make allowances for this type of sign. IV. CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING • Chairman Waters closed the Public Hearing at 7:25 PM. V.
