NOTES: 1) Top of sign cabinet is 15'-2" above grade at base of.pole with 9'-9" clearance at bottom of cabinet to grade. 2) Edge of sign cabinet is 2'-9" from sidewalk or a nominal 1'-9" from the right-of- way: 3) Building has no sign on it. Vice-Chairman Maloney called all interested parties before the board. The oath was administered to Mr. and Mrs. Dublo, owners, and W. Zergott, who owns the business next door. Mrs. Dublo explained that they should be exempt for several reasons: an illuminating company.light pole and a tree would have to be removed along with part of the curb to install a conforming sign. They would also lose three parking spaces and their customers would have to park in Zergott's dxiveway. She presented pictures of the site. Mr. Purper explained that what they are aslcing for was what the city is trying to eliminate. There are dozens of pole signs wluch will have to come down. Mr. Dublo advised that there was no place that they could put a ground sign. Mr. Purper doubted that Mr. Dublo could get the Illuminating Company to remove the pole. Mr. Zergott agreed with Mr. Dublo since that had had a ground sign previously, and had to.remove it because people could not see coming in and out of the driveways. He also believed if Debbie's had to put in a ground sign, his business would lose customers because they would not see his driveway. He would prefer pole signs. Mr. Koberna stated that a wall sign would probably have to suffice. Law Director Gareau suggested that they move the sign over closer to the drive and back farther. He might lose a parking space, but he would gain one where the existing sign is. Mr. Zeigott stated that if they moved it back, drivers backing out of the parking spaces could have a problem with visibility.
