Member Miller stated that the signs cannot be seen from westbound traffic along Stevens Creek Boulevard; therefore, he didn't understand why the signs need to be so high. Mr. Abler reported that the property owners do not ]mow if they can remove the signs since they are part of the General Motors sign program.
