Mr. Hollenbeck, sign contractor, had been sworn in previously. Mr. Hollenbeck advised that they are not adding a sign, they are anly asking to replace the signs that are existing. He clarified'that there is a color change in the logo.. However, Building Commissioner Conway noted that the directional signs are also going to include the name „National City Bank", the existing signs only state entrance and exit. The members pointed out that the drives are comQnon to both the bank and to Rini's and are not in favor of the name of these signs. At this point neighbors, Mrs. Schure, Mr. Walczak, and Mr: Kozimor came forward and were sworn in. The proposal was explained to the neighbors. Mrs. Schure was concerned •that they would be moving the signs forward which might hinder visibility. Mr. Gomersall advised that the signs would not be moved, nor would the size change. The neighbors had no other problems with the request. The members still believed that having the name on the entrance/exit 5igns might be confusing since these are comon drives. Mr. Hollenbeck agreed to witYidraw the request to have advertising on the five directionat signs. R.

The oath was administered to Mr. Pelger and his contractor, Mr. Salerno. Building Commissioner Conway explained tha.t the Pelgers bought the home recently and were not advised that the property consisted of three separate lots, the one lot line actually bisECts the house and as well as the addition. There is a third lot in the rear. Mr. Conway would like the board to grant a variance with the condition that the lots be consolidated. 5ince this situation should have been noted in the legal description, Mr. Conway has contaeted the title company for verification, but no one has gotten back to him. Law Director Gareau suggested that they merely consolidate the lots. Mr. Conway responded that this could not be done fast enough to build the addition this year. They will have to attempt to_have the title company take care of this since it will cost several hundred dollars to consoliclate the lots. The members agreed to grant the variance for one year. Mr. Gareau asked if they did not do it, would they have to tear down the addition. 3
