Bugala Absent: B. Grace. R. Gomersall moved to approve the minutes of July 12, 1989, seconded by T. Restifo, and unanimously approved. Chairman Bugala advised all presented that there were only four members present and it will require three affirmative votes to approve a request. Sunnyside Dealership, 27000 Lorain Road Request for variance (1123.12). Request 101 sq. fto variance for area of one side of pole sign. Also request 17 foot height variance for sign. Violation of Ord. 87-93, Section 1163.06(f) and (g). Continued from the meeting of July 12, 1989. Chariman Bugala called all interested parties before the Board. The oath was administered to R. Kalina, contractor, Mr. Carmody, representing Sunnyside, and Councilmen R. Wilamosky and R. Bohlman. Mr. Kalina presented a rendering of a smaller, 27z square foot sign which is 5 by 15 foot 6 inches, and 27 feet high. He explained that they are now requesting a 2 foot height variance and a 27 square foot variance for sign area. Mr. Kalina requested that the Board consider that this is about the smallest message center that can be installed and pointed out that they will be removing two pole signs which will reduce the signage by about 60 square feet along Lorain Road. He further stated that the leading edge of the sign will be 51 feet from the center line of Lorain Road and will conform to the 3 foot set back from the right of way. Members agreed that this is an improvement. Councilman Wilamosky questioned if the support poles had been considered in the total area since it would appear that they are larger than allowed. Building Commissioner Conway advised that they would be allowed a support structure of 25% of the sign face, and sinc.e he had not seen this before the meeting it has not been calculated. a/Mr. Kalina stated that this structure was merely cladding over the two poles, and it could be reduced, however he believes that this is better looking from a design standpoint than 2 plain,poles. Law Director Gareau stated that the Board should consider that they are removing two pole signs. Building Commis- sioner Conway advised that the variance on the existing pole sign was null and void when the dealership changed, but since there are two separate properties here they would be allowed 2 pole signs. R. Gomersall moved to grant the request for a 2 foot height variance and a 27 square foot total sign area for the pole sign and a variance for the support structure to be allowed to exceed 25% of the allowable face of the sign (62k square feet), seconded by T. Restifo, and unanimously approved. Variances granted. Pheasants Run Retail Center (Hennie Homes), 28867 Lorain Road Request for variance (1123.12). Request continuance of previously approved 120 square foot variance for temporary leasing sign.. Violation of Ord. 87-93, Section 1163.06(e)5. (Original variance granted January 4, 1989).
