lus jacket, just James Lumber. Mr. James responded that this is a separate division of his compauy. It was pointed out that there was a small worker on the building, that was not shown on the copies that went to the architectural review board. He maintained that the Do It Best was part of the name for the North Olmsted store only. Ms. Boyle questioned what the Do It Best had to do with it and stated that this was a logo, not part of the name. Mr. James maintained that this was part of the co-op's name, just like Tru-Value. He stated that the architectural review board had suggested the James Do It Best Lumber on the front and the one side. Mr. Maloney clarified that the Design Center would be on the lower panel. The members discussed various compromises among themselves. Mr. James believed he needed signs on three sides. Mr. Conway believed that if the board granted a variance to have signs on three sides, every business would want that. Mr. Purper stated that it would be impossible for people diiving down Lorain Road to read all the signs. Mr. Gomersall stated that the little worker would have to be removed. Mr. James agreed to give that up that since it is existing. 1VIr. Conway explained that there was no permit for that to begin with and noted that that the rendering was different from the p'lan. The members discussed what signs should be allowed. It was agreed that the mural should not be approved, but it was agreed that the signs on the west elevation would state Design Center, Do It Best, and James Lumber, which would be 122 square feet. The sign on the east, Hardware and Home Repair", was to be 2 by 20 feet, but the members did not believe it would be seen and did not think it was uecessary to have it there, since the signs on the north would be visible coming from the east. It was decided that the north could stay James Lumber, Do It Best which would be 156 square feet. 'Me total sigu area would be 278 square feet, and they are allowed 242, so they would need a 36 square foot variance. The height variances have been reduced along with the total number of signs. Mr. Conway advised that the excess building signage variance would be 99 square feet. The logo that is there will have to be removed. Mr. James agreed to the modified variances. J. Maloney moved to grant the request for James Lumber 27375 Lorain Road , a modified mutually agreed to request, for a 36 square foot variance for excess busuiess use signage; a 99 square foot variance for excess business building signage; to grant a 1 foot, 4 inch variance for the building sign on the north; and to grant a variance for three additional wall signs (one allowed).
