General commercial and man
ufacturing establishments desir-
ing a sign bigger than IS square
feet are required to come before
the Board of Zoning Appeals and
seek an exception. This practice
is a regular part Of the boards
monthly meetings. but none Of

the one planned for the motel,
the planning Official said.
To Face Southwest
According to Hot Shoppes off,
Gals. a large sign is needed to
be in scale with the size OF the
motel. Also. they said, motorists

face toward the southwest to
catch the attention of tourists
heading into Washington.
There was no opposition at the
