Dear Sirs:

Re: The Roof Top Sign and The Neon Sign at the
Commercial Hotel in Port Coquitlam

The Roof Top sign has been in existence for a good many years and
has never been a hindrance to anyone. It is forty (lO) feet above the
ground, does not obstruct or obscure traffic or traffic signais in the
area, It is mounted quite securely on the roof and conformed to all
existing bylaws when it was installed, It is on a timer and only goes
on late at night and helps many a weary traveller locate the Hotel.

The Neon sign on the new addition to the Hotel is located on the
back of the Hotel facing the back parking lot. It is used nainly for
the convenience and protection of our patrons in the evenings as it
lights up the public parking area. The sign does not affect highway
traffic or street traffic in this area. If the sign were to be put
on the back wall of the old building it would certainly not do anyone
any good and it would become an eyesore,

We would appreciate it if your Worship and Council would
reconsider your decision and permit us to keep these signs.

Yours truly,

Montebello A.) atta.
