Страх и нищета в Гане
Страх и нищета в Гане

Раньше Гана была британской колонией и называлась Золотой берег. Неспроста — в стране большие запасы золота. После обретения независимости в 1957 году страна взяла путь на светлое коммунистическое будущее, но что-то пошло не так

Estimated to net San Carlos nearly $5 million in its first 20 years, plans to build a new electronic billboard just west of Highway 101 are moving forward but are leaving a business owner feeling disappointed about the required removal of a similar sign on his property.
Up for review at the City Council’s Monday meeting, approval of a lease and sublease allowing Clear Channel Outdoor to build an electronic billboard where a landscape supply store currently stands at 815 American St. That is set to be accompanied by a 30 percent share of the annual advertising revenue generated by the new sign, a one-time payment of $100,000 and a new digital sign at the Adult Community Center at 601 Chestnut St., according to a staff report.
But for the owner of a specialty car repair shop, a city requirement to remove the static Clear Channel billboard on his property at 171 Industrial Road to make way for the new sign does not sit well.
Mike Keynejad, owner of Eurotech Complete Auto Care at 171 Industrial Road, said in 2002 he purchased the property for nearly $4 million, $1 million more than he would have otherwise paid because of the revenue he expected the sign to generate. He said he has counted on income from the billboard to offset the some $22,000 he pays in property tax each year, and has been frustrated in the months since plans to remove the billboard were set in motion last year.
A city policy limits the number of billboards in San Carlos and requires those looking to create a new one to remove one before they can begin construction. As the owner of the billboard on Keynejad’s property, the decision is Clear Channel’s as to which sign the company decides to take down to make room in the citywide billboard cap, City Planner Lisa Costa Sanders explained previously.
Though Keynejad is now focused on building a 30-foot-tall, illuminated sign advertising his business once the billboard on his property is removed, disappointment with the city’s rules lingers.
“The city should not compete with the residents,” he said. “They should protect the businesses, not … compete with them.”
More than 10 years ago, Keynejad said his application to build an LED sign on his property was denied by the city. But in the years since, he’s noticed several other LED billboards go up along Highway 101 in several Peninsula cities and near the billboard on his property, which is close to the city’s border with Belmont and unincorporated San Mateo County. When the Planning Commission approved his application to build the 30-foot sign in the existing billboard’s place, Bruce Qualls, a representative of Clear Channel, said the company would pay rent to Keynejad until its lease with him ends in May of 2021.
The digital sign at 815 American St. would be the city’s second agreement with Clear Channel. In 2013, the city entered into a lease agreement with Clear Channel to operate a digital billboard on city-owned land at Bransten Road, according to a staff report.
San Carlos will pay an annual rent of $100,000 to the lessor of the property at 815 American St., and is set to receive 30 percent of the annual advertising revenue from the proposed billboard with a minimum annual payment of $200,000. The city will also receive one guaranteed advertising spot on the new sign four times a year, according to a staff report.
Though Mayor Bob Grassilli acknowledged the decision to relocate the billboard was Clear Channel’s, he expressed empathy for Keynejad’s situation. He was grateful the new billboard would be the last one allowed under the city’s cap, noting the rule is aimed at ensuring the city’s stretch of Highway 101 isn’t lined with billboards.
