On the matter of temporary signs Hogan said the City has established a 6 mos. grandfather clause and the matter will be brought before the Steering Committee. It is not planned to do anything about signs on private property and that Old Town will be treated the same as the rest of the City, but the Historic District ordinance will be applied to Old Town and the merchants will be so advised. 8. At this point Evelyn Harker pointed out that most of the Old Town merchants were making an effort to comply but that one merchant was creating most of the present problem. Hogan replied that temporary signs will be addressed in the Specific Plan and said he wanted to keep the permitting of temporary signs simple because they will have a short life. Markham stated the City needs to take a stronger stand on enforcement. Evelyn and Markham suggested getting the Old Town Merchant Association to write to the City asking for City enforcement. At this point the question of illegal and non-conforming signs came up and how to determine which had been permitted by the County and the City. Markham suggested using the date of the notification letters as a starting point. It was agreed that it may require an inventory of all signs in Old Town to determine their status. . 8. Under Board discussion the matter of heavy rains and the Murrieta Creek problem was brought up and it was sug- gested to get one of the local papers to find out where members of U.R.G.E. actually live and to what degree they personally would be affected if the creek overflows and -more- . .
