,. t? Weber Automotive, Inc., 23779 Lorain Road. Wall sign. This is a replacement sign which will have the Kendall Motor Oil logo on it, Mr. Gallagher stated that frequently a company will give the sign to the dealer if their logo can be displayed. Mr. Yager questioned if there was somewhere else that this sign could be used. Mr. Weber, the owner, responded that there will be nothing else on that wall except this sign, which is their standard logo and there is no other sign choice. He clarified that the building is offwhite with brown siding. The members clisagreed on whether or not a registered logo had to be accepted, considering that the smaller businesses had been disapproved and they might need a logo more. Mr. Weber advised that they are trying to gain recognition that they were part of the Kendall association. He also stated that this was not a cartoon character. Mr. Yager responded that, as far as he is concerned,:all logos are cartoon characters, unless they can be incorporated in the wording of the sign. Mr. Gallagher explained that giving someone a sign, if they used their logo, had been done for years, and there used to be logos all up and down the road which is what the board is trying to get away from. Mr. Weber stated that there are logos all up and down Lorain Road now, and some of them are brand new; he questioned why he was different. Mr. Yager stated that this board only recommends, and the conversations about logos only started recently. Mr. Weber mentioned that Ethan Allan's logo was new. He was advised that this board had rejected the logo, but board of zoning appeals had approved it. W. Woost, sign contractor, asked if it would be acceptable to use the words "A Division of Kendall Oil". The members would have no problem with that. Mr. Weber does not know if this could be modified. Mr. Woost doubted that Kendall Oil would give them a sign without the logo. Assistant Building Commissioner Rymarczyk explained that if they conform to the size allowed and they come in with just words on the sign, it would not have to go to another board. M. Yager moved to accept the Weber Automotive, Inc. sign as presented with the following restriction, that they elimiuate the logo and look into a secondary line that would hopefully solve their hardship. The motion was seconded by T. Gallagher. Roll call on motion: Yager, Gallagher, Krieger -and Zergott, yes. Mr. Liggett, no. Motion carried. N.
