Chairman Gomersall ca,lled all interested pa.rties before the Board. The oath was administered to Mr. George, owner, who presented a picture of the original sign that was installed and also the wall sign. These signs were installed without a permit. Building Conmni.ssioner Conway explained that the pole sign would be 74 feet on one side (50 square feet are allowed) and a variance would then be needed for total sign area. Mr. Restifo stated that this was in a visible area. It was clarified that there had been a sign on the wall. Building Commissioner Conway explained that the sign on Lorain Road had been removed and replaced without a permit which eliminates its non-conforming status. Members agreed this is too much signage in the area. J. Maloney moved to approve the Lorain Auto Body, 24532 Lorain Road, request for a 23.34 square foot variance for area of one side of pole sign and 43.6 square foot vaxiance for total sign area, seconded by E.

'I'he oath was administered to Mr. Ka,tz, and Mr. Geiger, a neighbor. Mr. Katz presented a revised site plan and explained that he had an existing attached garage which he eventually would convert into living space. The new site plan was drawn according to the survey pins and shows the exact location of the rear property line and the location of the proposed garage. Mr. Gomersall stated that this is a large garage, and the board is always concerned about a large garage being used as a repair shop.
