Mr. Gomersall reviewed the request. Mr. WaLser explained that they will be removing one column and just leave the brick. Building Commissioner Conway advised that this would not reduce the size because this is an architectural feature, and he just considers the copy. Mr. Walser presented the site plan stated that they would be taking offthe rear column but they would like to keep sign in the same place. Mr. Conway is concerned that this could block visibility, when drivers come out of the drive and try to turn left. He would like drivers to be able to see over it. He would like a no left turn sign. The developers agreed to that. Mr. Conway noted that the building is not visible because of the two buildings on each side, so they need something in front. Mr. Maloney wondered if the sign could be moved back. The members agreed that then the sign would not be visible at all, and it would be almost impossible to turn left out of this drive. Mr. Conway pointed out that there employees would be delivering the cars, so it would not be a high traffic area. He believed that it would be best to keep the sign as low as possible. 6
