. , . ?. ' _ . Chairman Gomersall called all interested garties before the Board. The oath was administered to Mr. Larson, architect, who gave a brief background of these two restaurants. Originally, both restaurants originally faced Great Northern Boulevard. The County Planning Commission recommended that the positioning of the restaurants be changed to give more of a campus quality. The owners have agreed to this so now Chili's will be facing Country Club Boulevard and Romano's will be 250 feet back from Great Northern.Boulevard so some exposure from Great Northern Boulevard has been lost; this area is lower and one of their restaurants is partially behind the I-480 fence. He presented photographs of these signs at other locations explaining the direction each of these signs would face at the North Olmsted locationso The pylon sign will give more visibility to both businesses. Regarding the Chili's projecting sign, Building Commissioner Conway explained that the sign is in front of the awning and the measlirements must be taken from the building.

Prior to the discussion, Building Commissioner Conway explained that the Law Director has advised that the Building Department was in error in making the determination that no signs would be permitted since this is in a residential district, because of the journal entry. this is to be treated as a business district, so the 353.25 square foot variance is misleadinga In a busi.ness district, the first variance would be for a wall sign. that exceeds 75 square feet, they are proposi.ng 232 square feet, so a 157 square foot variance would be needed for the wall sign; they are also eXCeeding the 4 foot vertical climension, the logo is 9 feet by 7.5 feet and the letters are 22 feet by 4e5 foot, the logo would be 3.5 foot over, and the letters would be 6.inehes over the 4 foot height limitation. The directional sign is one square foot over the maximi.IIn allowed and 1 foot for the height. The ground sign for Moen-is permitted tmder the business codes.
