? <br />support it on the cauopy. Mr. Yager felt that this could be redesigned to meet.the needs of tlus <br />board by altering the design of the canopy to incorporate the company's name. Due to the cost <br />factor, the applicarit does not believe it would be in his best interest to redesign the building and <br />eliminate the awniug. Mr. Kriekis explained the sign as proposed is permitted and allowed by city <br />ordinance and therefore this should not be an issue. He noted that the awniugs and the retrofit of <br />the street sigus are subject to approval by this board. Mx. 4'ager stated the purpose of tlus <br />committee is to make sure the proposal is aesthetically pleasing. He believed placing the sign in <br />the gable area would look terrible and reiterated this board is suggesting incorporating the logo <br />and the wording into one sign on the building. The canopy will have an aluininum frame. Mr. <br />Liggett would also like the building sign moved down from- its present location. Mr. Kalina <br />explained the awniug is shallow and the sign deep, which would mean it is almost impossible to <br />install a structurally sound sign in the location suggested. He believed the gable area was the best <br />possible location for this sign and stated placing the sign at the end of the awning would put <br />additional stress on the existing awning. Mr. Yager suggested the words "Einstein Brothers <br />Bagels," be stenciled into the avvuing using the same material as the logo and elaborated that the <br />sign then could easily be supported. Mr. Kalina stated the shape of the awuiug would then make <br />the sign look awkward. It was then recommended that the awuing be redesigned to accommodate <br />the lettering. Mr. Kalina stated that that area was never intended to be a sign band. In response, <br />Mr. Yager noted the roof was not meaut to hold a sign either. Mr. Kalina agreed, but felt <br />installing the sign in the recommended location would be structurally unsafe. Mr. Yager <br />recommended that they use the same fabric on the sign as is used on the canopy. He elaborated <br />the aluminum tubing can be brought up to create a vertical plain so as to have a flat surface for the <br />face of the sign. Mr. Kalina argued the existing awning is dry screwed to the building. Mx. <br />Liggett suggested creating a structured back to the building. IVdr. Kalina stated this would be <br />rather expensive to his client, who has only asked to reface an existing awning. Mr. Zergott <br />would like the Einstein Brothers removed from the canopy. In response to Yager's questiou, Mr. <br />Gallagher clarified that this board is a recommendation board. Mx. Liggett wondered how they <br />will attach the back part of the sign onto the roof. Mx. Kalina replied that he will angle it and <br />totally surround the posts with shroud. He noted that there will be leak holes in the sigu and <br />shroud to drain the water. 1Vfr. L,iggett felt the color is much too bright. Mr. Yager disagreed. <br />The revised plan shall be reviewed independently by Mr. Yager, Mr. Gallagher or NIr. Liggett. <br />T. Gallagher motioned to approve Einstein Brothers Bagels wall sign if it is brought down to the <br />level or as close to the awning as possible as the awniug. 'I'he sign shall follow the codes and <br />ordinances as far as space goes and the logo shall be removed. The motion was seconded by T. <br />Liggett and unanimously approved. <br />Mx. Kalina explained the existing ground sign will be refaced to create a corporate identity for <br />Einstein Brothers Bagels. 1Vdr. Kreikis presented photographs demonstrating what the sign will <br />look like upon completion. 1VIr. Katalina noted, the shape of the sign is normally rou.nd, however, <br />it was the building department's recommendation to reface the existing sign, as it would be more <br />acceptable according to code. Mx. Yager stated although he normally frowns on logos, this logo <br />actually presents the product in an effective manner. Mr. Kalina continued that if this board could <br />allow it, the sign would actually be round creating a more desired effect. Building Commissioner <br />Couway noted that a variauce would be required for a round sign, and because it would be uon-
