Mr. Wendell, the forester, who had been sworn in earlier, advised that he had looked at the site again and agreed that those particular trees would not live. After some discussion it was decided to eliminate 8 spaces. Mr. Bugala suggested using smaller spaces at certain points for compact cars. Mr. Richards prefers iiot to do this at this time. In refer- ence to the front set back, Mr. Gareau advised that he is in the process of drawing up an ordinance that would allow a 35 foot front set b ack on single user lots, if that set b ack were in green area, During the discussion of the sign, it was pointed out that the pole sign would conform, but.in order to install a wall sign, as well as the sign on the awning, they would need a variance. C. Remmel moved to grant the 21.5 foot variance for total sign area, seconded by R. Gomersall, and unanimously approved. R. Bugala moved to grant the 9 parking space variance for the Olive Garden Restaurant with the condition that the spaces in that are,-_in-fact, eliminated will be for the purpose of providing proper growth for the existing trees as per the plan that was marked and presented at the Board of Zoning Apneals meeting on March 3, 1988, seconded by R. Gomersall, and unanimously approved. C. Remmel moved to grant the variance for one access drive, seconded by R. Bugala, and unanimously approved, R. Gomersall moved to grant a 15 foot front set back variance for the Olive Garden Restaurant with the stipulation that there would be no parking permitted in the front set back, seconded by C.

He explained that he needs the additional signage temporarily because his b usiness is new and his unit front is not visib le from Lorain Road. He believes that after he is better known, he will not need the additional signage. The signs were installed by Milmore signs, who are not licensed in the city, and Advance Signs, who is licensed, took over when it was discovered that they needed a variance.

Mr. Gareau observed that if they did not get a temporary variance, the pole sign would remain empty. Board agreed that 6 months would be a reasonable time to grant a temnorary variance. C. Remmel moved to grant a variance for the facias of the pole sign of 63.4 square feet on a temporary basis for a 6 month period starting from March lst to apply with the approval of the landlord, and if during the 6 month period if the unit th at is currently vacant is leased, th at the variance is revoked, seconded by R.
