. . . ,? BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS JANUARY 4, 1989 PAGE 4 commercially. It was suggested that this request be continued in order for the proposal to be redesigned. R. Bugala moved to continue the DiBenedetto proposal until the next meeting, seconded by B. Grace, and unanimously approved. Mr. Geiger, attorney, approached the Board at this time and requested that the Board clarify their objections. Members advised that the building was too large for the property, and is too close to the adja- cent residential property, and suggested that perhaps the front set back could be reduced, the building be "L" shaped:.and made smaller. 8.

He explained that the 4 by 24 foot sign is to be put on the unit with a 43 foot frontage. Building Commissioner Conway explained how the sign area was figuredo It was suggested that they move the logo under the letters thus reducing the sign to 19 feet by 4 feet. Mr. Conway calculated that they would then require a 30 square foot variance. J. Helon moved to grant the variance for Household Finance at 25343 Lorain Road, a 30 square foot variance for total sign area to install a wall sign not to be any larger than 19 by 4 feet, seconded by T.

Chai.rman Bugala called all interested parties before the Board, The oath was administered to Mr. Glueck, representing McDonald's, who explained that this was a different proposal from that for which a previous variance was granted. He explained that the basement was to be eliminated and the building would be moved forward. Board had no probtem with the request for 1 less parking space. In reference to the signs it was explained that these are basically the same type of signs as are on the property now. The ground signs are two directions signs and the two menu boards (these are larger). During the dis- cussion it was clarified that they would be using the existing pole sign and would not be changing the faces. Law Director Gareau stated that no variance would be required for that sign. Regarding the McDonald's pennant, Mr. Glueck stated that normally they fly the American flag, the State flage and the McDonald's logo at all their restaurants. The Board objects to flying the P4cDonald's pennant and Mr. Glueck withdrew that request. Mr. Conway advised that if the.pennant were removed the request for total sign area would be reduced to 62.6 square feet. B.
