He also believes that there would not be room for adequate parking for additional employees. At this point, Mrs. Harms, a resident, was sworn in. She too complained about the truck traffic blocking roads and questioned why these trucks can use a road which is posted "no trucks". Trucks can make a de- livery on this road. Councilman Wilamosky urged the Board to reject the variance in order to preserve the integrity of the residential and industiial areas. He believes that the owner is attempting to over-use this property. C. Remmel moved to grant these two variances requested, one 70' and one 30'.. as requested, seconded by E. Graves.

Schuerger, Simon Sign Co., B. Puhalsky and D. Napp, both of Tokyo Shapiro. Mr. Bugala stated that the present ordinance was to reduce the number of pole signs and this variance would be totally de- feating the intent of the ordinance. Mr. Puhalsky stated that he had a hardship since a competetor in the same shopping center has a pole sign. Councilmen D. McKay and R. Wilamosky were sworn in at this time. Mr. Schuerger advised that Tokyo Shapiro had just moved to this location from another store in North Olmsted and they were unaware that they could not have a pole sign.
