He advised many residences have long driveways or shrubs that have covered the address from when it was first installed. The signs are uniform and are being used in communities around us. After a short discussion it was decided to defer this item to the next meeting so some follow up, more specifically the cost to residents can be determined. Motion to Table Motion Passed 4 in favor.
