. ?., Ms. McBride, sigu contractor, presented the rendering of the wall sign with red neon chaunel letters spelling "team shop" and the lumberjacks logo of a beaver with a hockey stick. She explained that with this small a frontage there were only allowed 20 square foot of signage and in order to conform to the letter style of the other signs they could not use the word "Lumberjacks". This store only sells Lumberjack items. Mr. Yager agreed that Lumberjack Shop would mean additional signage wluch the board is trying to el.uniuate. Mr. Zergott suggested just using "Jacks", but Ms. McBride believed that some people would not kuow that they were the Luinberjacks. Ms. McBride presented drawings showing different wording all of which had far too much signage for such a small area. Mr. Yager believed that in this case there was little else that they could do but accept the logo. M. Yager moved to accept the sign with the logo since the logo represented the Cleveland Lumberjacks, and there was no way to fit that onto the frontage of the store. The motiou was seconded by S. Krieger. Roll call on motion: Yager, and Krieger, yes. Mr. Zergott, no. Motion can-ied. N. OLD BUSINESS: No items. V. NEW BUSINESS: 1) Stylin' Concepts, 29919 Lorain Road Proposal to construct building for retail, office and warehouse use, on lot adjacent to existing facility. Heard by the board of zouiug appeals June 8, 1995. Referred by planniug commission Juue 13, 1995. Mr. Case, owner, explained that the new buildiug will match the existing oue; the exterior material will be the same color Dryvit with Dryvit columns and a black roof. The pole building behind it will be sided with ? corrugated galvanized steel. He presented a cut of the canister type down lights which will be on 12 foot lugh poles and explained that the lights will be on timers so that they turn off after the employees leave about 8:00 p.m. at the latest. Mr. and Mrs. Benedict, neighbors to the rear, stated that they were maiuly interested in protecting the value of their property since there would be lights next to their rear yard. Building Commissioner Conway presented maps of the area showing the commercial and residentially zoned land. He clarified that the rear lot that Benedicts owu is zoned commercial. The Benedicts did not realize that, since they use it as their back yard. Regarding the standing water problem, Mr. Case stated that he had an undergrouud water retention system that was twice the capacity of what they will need aud the Engiueering Departmeut will verify that. Mrs. Benedict is concerned that the retention system will keep the standing water louger. Mr. Conway clarified that the retention system would either empty into the sewer system or into a ditch. Mr. Case explained it to her. Mr. Yager suggested that she contact the Engineeiing Departinent, since it is the architectural review board's job to review the building and to recommend screening their property from the semi trailers that will be behind it. Mr. Case has stated that he cannot afford both trees and a fence. Mrs. Benedict is concerned that, after the area is paved, there will be more foot traffic through her back yard and also skateboarders and motorcyclists in the parking lot. She would prefer a 6 foot fence. Mr. Case had suggested to the Benedicts that they could trade triangular shaped portious on both of their lots in order to square them of? and if they did this he will install a board on board fence across the back, but his o$'er has not been accepted as yet. He does not believe that it is necessary to install both a fence and trees. Mr. Conway clarified that the law requires a 15 foot setback, but the type of buffer is up to the board, depending on the impact. Mr. Case stated that the parkiug in back was just for employees, and there would not be a lot of in and out traffic. There would be trucks and vans unloading. Mr. Yager would prefer foliage, but believed that this was up to the 4
