Mr. Marry Wilson representing the Appeallant and Applicant,
World Savings, 11601 Wilshire Boulevard, Los Angeles, began
by stating that customers had complained that they had diffi-
culty locating the building; that a graphic designer had been
engaged to suggest a solution; that the trailer will be at the
location for about one more year; that they feel they have
the right to increase their visibility by this means; that
this design would be considered a test and that World Savings
would be willing to remove it if it were objectionable to the
public.
In answer to a question by Councilman Bricken, Charles Zimmer-
man explained that the 90% coverage of trailer by bright
colored graphics is not in keeping with the. City's standards
for sign identity. The appellant's representative stated
that the company has no logo, and is desirous of moving away
from its identity by a globe and have removed them from their
offices.
The motion by Councilman Brandt, seconded by Councilman Yama-
moro to approve the Determination of Exemption and the Appeal
No. 375 overruling the Planning Commission denial of Variance
Application 76-60 and to approve VA 76-60 for a period not
to exceed two years failed to carry on a 3:3 vote, with Coun-
cilmen Evans, Bricken and Mayor Garthe dissenting.
Councilman Evans asked the Appellant's representative if he
would be-willing to limit the percent of coverage of the
graphics proposed. His response was that he would be willing
to work with the graphic designer and the Planning Commission
to work out a more agreeable plan.
The motion made by Councilman Brandt, to refer the plan back
to the Planning Commission to work out a maximum signing of
not more than 50%, was not seconded.
Mr. Hal Gosse, Chairman of the Planning Commission, stated
that approval of the graphics proposal would still set a
precedent in an area where the City needs to uphold its
integrity. He further stated that he was sure the Planning
Commission would come up with the same conclusion.
A motion by Councilman Brandt, seconded by Councilman Evans,
to refer the matter back to the Planning Department to nego-
tiate a plan modification with the Appellant was carried 6:0
unanimously. CA 13.3

ORAL COMMUNICATION Mickey Madden of
TEMPORARY GREYHOUND TERMINAL 2319 North Rosewood
expressed disapproval
of locating the
temporary Greyhound Bus Depot on Seventeenth Street at
Poinsettia. She stated that there is no place for the
busses to park, no place for customers to park, no room
for busses to turn around; that the,location is in one
of our nicest medium priced residential areas; that she is
circulating petitions for signatures of other concerned
citizens; and that she is here to beg Council to do some-
thing to prevent this area from going down the drain.
Mr. Mike Green, 1818 North Poinsettia, also said he and
other neighbors were opposed to the proposed re-location
of the bus terminal.
Councilman Bricken asked the Planning Director whether the
Greyhound people were required to come in for approval of
the use and the plans they wished to implement for the use.
Mr. Zimmerman replied that there is a very subtle difference
between approval of use or appreval of site plans; that the
proposed use is allowed in the C5 zone which is applicable
to the property. Councilman Bricken continued by asking
whether Municipal Code Section 41-425 (e) is applicable to
this question. The City Attorney stated that it seemed to
be applicable, and that an appeal could be filed by citizens
for Planning Commission and Council review of the decision
of the Planning Director. CA
