Chairman Remmel called all interested parties before the Board. The oath was administered to J. Larson, Larson Artifacts, K. Paradise, owner, and Mr: Paulo, owner of the adjacent apartment building. Chairman Remmel read the minutes of June 1, 1983 in which a similar request iaas denied. Mr. Paradise explained that they only have a building sign advertising Iionda and it is not brightly illuminated because of the apartment next door and is not as visible as a pole sign would be. The Honda Company -- wants them to erect a.pole sign and this sign is much smaller than the ?-- previous request. He stated that his property is much bigger than some T....?"- of the other-dealerships in the City. Mr. Paulo has no objection to the sign. Law Director Gareau suggested that one of the existing pole signs • could be removed and this one could be installed. Chairman Remmel stated - that in this area there is nothing but a confusion of sings. Mr. Paradise stated that ha has a 10 year lease with General Motors (who ownes the other signs) and he doubts that tfiey would allow him to take it down; and Honda would not let them just change faces in the existing sign, they require a standard Honda sign. Board discussed granting a variance for a Honda sign, if he can get permission to removed the "used car" : sign. Mr. Paradise decided to withdraw his request at this time. 5.

Chairman Remmel called all interested parties before the Board. The oath was administered to Mr. and Mrs. Metzger who explained that they are going to remove the existing patio enclosure and construct a family room and an a11 purpose room which will be 2 feet deeper than the enclosure. Mr. Remmel stated that the lot will be crowded with a swimming pool and the addition, and would prefer a 12 foot depth. They do not beleive this would give them enough depth and offered to fire proof either the garage or the corner of the family room. Acting Building Commissioner Sanker advised that there was no danger of fire with this distance and this would not have to be fireproofed by code. Mr. Gomersall does not beleive the 4 foot difference is that critical. They were advised this would prohibit putting in a two car garage. R. Gomersall moved to grant the request for a 4 foot variance for the distance between the addition and detached garage for Mr. Richard Metzger, 24730 Fawn Drive, seconded by R. Bugala, and unanimously approved. Variance granted. 6. Fraulein's Restaurant proposal, 25700 Lorain Rd. Request for variance (.1133.13).
