. A BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS JANUARY 7, 1987 PAGE 3 who explained that he is requesting an interpretation of Section I221.04-A1 which states "The area of the faces visible from a public way of all per- manent exterior signs,..." He is contending that the south elevation of the building is not visible from a public way since it faces the strip shop- ping center and should not be included in the total sign area. He is not asking for a variance, merely how to figure the sign area allowed in this particular case. He pointed out that the signs inside the mall (not visible from a public way) do not have to meet the frontage requirement of the code. He also wants clarification that he can place signs on all four side of the building. Building Commissioner Spino produced a letter from Assistant Law Director Dubelko which states in part "'.m.signage in a general retail business distriet is essentially determined by the amount of building frontage. The building in q.uestion apnears to have two store fronts..." Mr. Carlisle was not advised of this determination. Board has no problem with placing signs on all four sides of the building, but believes that signage on the south side should conform to sign area requirements. B. Grace moved that the Board rules that the signs on the strand side of the building (which is the south side of the b uilding) is considered to be part of the total signage area as as allowed by the current codes that are not. in effect and this ruling pertains only to this particular case, seconded.by C. Remmel, and unanimously approved. B. Grace moved that the Board agrees that ttie Browns are going to win on Sunday, seeonded by R. Gomersall. Roll eall on motion Grace, Gomersall, Bugala, and Remmel, Yes. Mr. Helon, No. Motion passed. The meeting was adjourned at 9:05 p.m. C. Remmel, Chairman B. Oring, Cr1,6rk of Commissions
