v -'- signage on this building is if Sears sold that portion of the building to Jiffy Lube: He reiterated that tenant signs belong on the inside of the mall. Mr. Gallagher agreed somewhat, but believed that Tiffy Lube should be permitted one exterior sign. Mr. Zergott stated, what this board can do is make a motion to accept, modify, or deny the proposed signage. He elaborated, regardless of the outcome, there are other avenues to pursue as this is only a recommendation board. Assistant Build'vig Commissioner Rymarczyk clarified, he believes that Sears is also a tenant, and both tenants are leasing from the owner of the mall. A couple of the members believed that this additional signage should be installed on the inside of the mall. Mr. Archer explained Jiffy Lube does most of their business from the outside, which is the basis for installing the sign outside the building. Mr. Gallagher would like to recommend one sign, on the outside of the building, for identification purposes. In response to Mr. Yager's question, Mr. Rymarczyk clarified that Jiffy Lube would be permitted one tenant sign, and must apply for a variance if any additional signage is requested. He also believed this would have to be referred to board of zoning appeals for the square footage and the additional signage. If one sign is permitted, Mr. Yager believed it should be blue to match Sears, as both signs are on the same building. Mr. Archer argued, the whole reason for the red sign is that it is there corporate identification color. Mr. Gallagher suggested putting it in the form of a motion that the board prefers a blue sign over a red one. Mrs. Krieger believed the added verbiage "America's Favorite Oil Change," shoulcl be eliminated as it is not necessary. S. Krieger moved to approve the proposal of Jiffy Lube, 5000 Great Northern Mall, with the following recommendations: the canopy should be non-illumiuated, plain red, with no letters; only one sign should be permitted with the added verbiage ("America's Favorite Oil Change") eliminated. The motion was seconded by T. Gallagher. Roll call on motion: Krieger and Gallagher, yes. Yager aud Zergott no. 2) Hollywood Video 4692-4678 Great Northern Blvd. Signage on store front. - Referral to board of zoning appeals is required for signage. Heard by planniug commission November 7, 1996. Mr. McAndrews, real estate director and Mr. Klien, architect presented the proposal. Mr. Klien explained the location is immediately adjacent to Rini Rego's marketplace and the plan is to redevelop part of the architecture by adding a new panel on the front ofthe existing mansard and creating a new facade. He elaborated the line of the existing mansard is angled and part of the plan is to build an over&ame in the front, designing the paneLs such that it will create a three- dimensional look. The mountain scape facade will be constructed out of a perforated metal panel and painted. The red line represents a back lit acrylic channel and behind that will be florescent lit sun rays depicting spot lights that are often seen in Hollywood. There will be an individual channel letter sign mounted in the center. Mr. Klien noted the concept is to reinvigorate the architecture of the existing build'mg, thus creating a more dynamic look that will be consistent with the Hollywood Video sryle. He believed, because the building is set back between 300 to 350 feet from the main road, reasons the proposed size of the sign is necessary. Mr. Yager questioned the relationship of this to everything else in the strip center. Mr. Klien responded that the borders store is separated from this location by an alley way, however, the backside of tliis building abuts Rini's. He elaborated that Rini's has an entirely different concept, as it is essentially a masonry facade, however their identity is focused at their store front entrance. Mr. Zergott questioned whether or not plauuing commission's concerns have been addressed. Mr. Klien answered that he would like to get further input from architectural review board prior to ? 2
