..?.? ' . Road. Mr. Purper stated that one of the previous Fretter's signs could be seen from Lorain. Mr. Dempsey pointed that one out. Mr. Gomersall doubted that a driver going east on Lorain Road would be able to see any of these signs considering the traffic and other buildings. He wondered if the sign that they are adding on the west was unnecessary, he had no problem with the one on the south. Tlie developers maintained that tliey needed tliree signs on the triangle on the superstructure over the entrance, and one on the east wall. It was noted that Fretter's had five signs but they could live with four signs; and it was clarified that there would be three signs on the triangle and one on the east wall; the owner would be willing to eliminate the wall sigu on the west end of the building. Ms. Boyle stated that they were merely replacing the sigus that Fretter's originally had and she noted that she fiequently had a problem locating Fretter's. The fifth sign will add approximately 20 foot 9 uiches by 6 foot 10 inches high or 141.2 square feet, the same as the sign on the south. The arclutectural review board had recommeuded only haviug the two wall signs and one over the entrance. Mr. Klein believed that the signs on the superstructure were the most important. Mr. Gomersall agreed somewhat that those signs would show at 3 different angles. It was determined that with the fifth sign the total sign area variance would be 659.4 square feet. The developer agaiu stated that they would eluninate the sign on the west wall. Ms. Boyle pointed out that the letters will be smaller than what Fretter's had. J. Maloney moved to approve the mutually agree upon request for Guitar Center, 26635 Brookpark Rd. Ext. for a 442.4 square foot variance for excess signage area; to grant a variance for three (3) more wall signs than permitted by code, wluch also exceeds the 75 square foot permitted for wall signage.
