Mr. Maloney noted that this sign is only two feet off the ground and will be a safety hazard because it is right at the main driveway. The members agreed. After some discussion, it was decided that there was no location where this sign would not be a problem; but a modified pole sign that was at least 8 feet offthe ground could be installed in the same location and would not be a problem. Mr. Huxon agreed to a modified request. Law Director Gareau advised that this is a location where a ground or pylon sign is not feasble, and it should be stipulated that it will not have to return for a variance in 1998. It was agreed that the mod.ified pole sign could be 6 foot square, but should be 8 foot off the ground for visibility and could have either one or two poles, but could be no higher than 14 feet. It was suggested that they remove some of the framing to make the sign lower. J. Maloney moved to grant to Ethan Allen Home Interiors, 26125-27 Lorain Road, an agreed upon modified variance to install a pole sign, a 37 square foot variance for area; a variance to install a sign in the 35 foot triangular area, this has been modified so that the bottom of the sign shall be 8 feet from the ground with a maximum of 14 foot height.
