3 Page Three AUDIENCE: Rick Cain, 4741 North Street Mineral City on behalf of Adams Signs regarding the Reeves Mill Business Park was in attendance to make sure there were no questions about Ordinance Mueller asked why the sign was one foot larger that city requirements. Cain said they were given a variance by the zoning board and said there was logic behind it because of the multiple tenants. The last tenant is two feet above the grade and any lower it would be difficult to read and could be damaged with mowing and landscaping.
