DEC 4 X990 BOOK,> F�.t Director Keating reiterated that the neon lights issue does not affect the release of easement, but Commissioner Scurlock stressed that he just didn't want to do anything here today that would give the applicants an argument for their neon lights. Chairman Eggert felt the question is whether we want to reopen the question of what we mean by neon and encased neon, but Commissioner Scurlock just didn't want us to give them the argument of saying, "you liked our neon lights when you gave us the release of easement." Commissioner Bowman anticipated that their argument would be that the neon is an integral part of their architecture, but Commissioner Bird understood that they have agreed that the neon will have to be covered and that they are making the modifications now at the factory to enclose the neon in some kind of plastic encasement. In that case, Commissioner Scurlock felt he was ready to make a Motion that the Board approve the the release of easement contingent upon them putting that in writing. Attorney Vitunac felt this release of easement should be a separate issue since a separate corporation owns the land and is asking for a simple easement abandonment. With regard to whether the County issues a building permit to Checkers, all of the Board's statements are well -taken and Director Keating has got to answer those before he issues that building permit, which will be to a different company than the company owning the property. Commissioner Scurlock still wished to make his Motion contingent on us receiving a letter stating that they accept our neon r-e-qu i rement s . MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by Commissioner Bowman, that the Board approve the release of easement with a condition that we receive some correspondence that they cannot have exposed neon in this county and that they understand that this release of easement is a separate issue.
