Our enquiry confirms this. We intervene in order to find a solution.<\/p>\n<p>The applicable regulation provides that a sign must be installed on the <em>fa\u00e7ade<\/em> of a building. The Borough recognizes that the lateral wall at the back of a yard is a <em>fa\u00e7ade<\/em> within the meaning of the regulation.<\/p>\n<p>The regulation provides that businesses whose storefront is not on a street can install a sign by the main entrance. In view of this building&#8217;s configuration, this option is, however, not feasible. We explore other alternatives with the Borough.<\/p>\n<p>A location is finally identified that is satisfactory to the citizen, the building owner and the Borough.
