Re: Request for variance by Autotronic Systems, Inc., for
sign on premises known as 123 Sawyer Avenue, Oshkosh,
Wisconsin.
Dear Mr. Reimer:
At the hearing scheduled for December 20, 1972, Autotronic
Systems, Inc., withdrew its request for variance in view of
the objections that were made by certain neighbors. The field
representative of the petitioner has met with objectors concern-
ing this matter in an effort to find out if there was an area
where a possible agreement could be reached. As a result of
these conferences, Autotronic Systems, Inc., requests that a
hearing be rescheduled for the purpose of considering a variance
to the Zoning Ordinance.
At the time the hearing was cancelled the field representative
of our client thought it would have been possible to place the
sign on the canopied roof. However, upon checking with the home
office, it a•pears that it is not feasible to do this without a
substantial alteration to t e s ructure, As you know, t e con-
struction plans in yource set forth the location of where
Autotronic planned to install the sign. On several occasions,
representatives of the firm were in your office to be sure that
the plan met with your approval. Before the zoning problem
was discovered, cables had already been laid underground to
the proposed site for the sign. In addition, of course, the
canopy had been constructed without consideration for attach-
ing a sign.
Basically, our client proposes to install a six foot by six foot
sign as a free standing column within the setback requirements
for Sawyer Street and Faust Avenue. As an alternate, Autotronic
would be willing to have the sign placed along its southerly
boundary within the setback requirement for Sawyer Street.

Consequently, the only variance request for the sign is that it be
free standing instead of attached to the building.
In addition we request that a variance be granted for a light
fixture which has already been installed as indicated by the build-
ing plan. We request that this matter be set down for hearing as
soon as possible. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
Very truly yours,
NOLAN ENGLER YAKES & CURTIS
