Laurie-
We would like to request an extension for the temporary banner permit at our location at 2205 W Southlake
Blvd. The reason is the permanent sign which has already been approved is pending until the gable facade is
built for us. This will be completed by the end of January, 2013.
Here is a picture of the existing banner. The banner measures 30" x 20' and is attached to the facade of the
building. We would like to request this permit is extended until the new facade is built in January, 2013.
