We tried calling you to set up a meeting with you, but you did <br /> not answer your phone. We left a phone message. Would you please contact us at your first <br /> opportunity in order that we can set up that meeting. <br /> With respect to the existing awning signs, not by way of a legal excuse, but by way of <br /> explaining that Champagne & Champagne, LLC is not a scofflaw, our client did hire <br /> Gallagher Tent and Awning, a very well respected Madison company, to install the awnings <br /> and assumed that that company would obtain all necessary permits. In speaking with <br /> Gallagher Tent and Awning, we were advised that they did not obtain a sign permit based <br /> upon the assumption that no sign permit was necessary for awning signs under a certain size <br /> as is the case with the City of Madison. Obviously, Dane County does have its own set of <br /> ordinances. <br />
