3) Key Bank, 26380 Great Northern Shopping Center (added to agenda). Review of logo on signs. Mr. Vizjak, sign contractor, advised that they are replacing the existing individual letters which were used on Society Bank with alumiuum faced cabinet signs that are somewhat smaller. He clarified that there were three signs on the building, sigus on the ATM, a MAC sign on the canopy, and several directional signs. It was noted that the pole sign was to be removed per the developer. Mr. Vizjak stated that the 5 handicapped spaces are existing and the handicapped signs will not be changed, but Mr. Yager believed that these spaces were not appropriately placed. In reference to the signs, Mr. Yager objected to the Key Bank sign at the drive through since people went by three signs before they get to that point. The members agreed that this many signs were not necessary and that several of them were redundant. It was suggested that sign number 5 be elimiuated; signs 9 and 4 be combined or angled in a "L" shape; only signs 11 and 15 "Key Bank, Customer Parking..... etc." be kept at either end of the building and arrows be used to indicate the spaces in between, so signs 12, 13, 14, are to be removed; and sign number 10 could be removed because sign 9 and 4 would direct trafiic; sign number 7 behind the building could be removed since it is not necessary; sign 5 is to be reanoved; the keys on sign numbers 18 and 19 should be non illuminated and additional verbiage ("Key Bank" and "24 hour banking") should be eliminated on the two sides of sign number 19 since anyone using it at night has driven past other signs and knows what bank it is and since it is lighted, knows that the ATM is open; signs 1, 2, and 3 would be acceptable. M. Yager moved to accept the Key Bank sign proposal with the following adjustments: 1) that the variances are granted for the size and quantity ofthe signs; 2) signs 12, 13, and 14 be eliminated in their entirety; 3) signs number 11 and 15 include arrows; 4) sign 7 be removed; 5) sign number 10 be removed; 6) sign number 5 be removed; 7) the key on sign 18 be non-illumiuated; 8) the key on sign 19 be non-illuminated with words "Key Bank" and 24 hour banking be removed from the sides; and 9) sign number 22 is to be removed by the developer. The motion was seconded by B. Zergott, and unanimously approved. IV. OLD BUSINESS: V. NEW BUSINESS: 1) The Soccer Zone, west end of Lorain Road.
