If . <br />? <br />CITY OF NORTH OLMSTED <br />BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS <br />MINUTES - JANUARY 4, 1984 <br />Chairman Remmel called the meeting to order at 7:30 p.m. <br />Present: R. Bugala, E. Graves, L. Horvath, and C. Remmel. <br />Also Present: Law Director M. Gareau, Building Commissioner E. Gundy, <br />and Recording Secretary B. Oring. <br />The Board reviewed the variance granted for L'Escargot Restaurant sign <br />granted at the meeting of December 7th. There was some confusion since the <br />agenda item requested a special permit, and the Board granted a variance. <br />The Board had previously determined that if a sign was 50% altered a vari- <br />would have to be granted and changing faces on the sign would be considered <br />a 50% alterati;on. R. Bugala moved to correct the Minutes of December 7, <br />1983 to reflect that in fact, a variance was granted for the L'Escargot <br />restaurant pole sign and not a special permit and this is consistant with <br />a previous ruling that had been made with respect to the Ohio Savings <br />sign on Great Northern Blvd;i.e.,that when a sign face is replaced when <br />there is a new owner, the sign, for purposes of determining whether it <br />is appropriately placed if it doesn't meet the ordinance and the facia is <br />replaced, then for all practical purposes, it is more than 50% depleted <br />or diminished, and when they come back in they must get a variance in <br />order to be permitted to replace the facia.. Also, item 1, Standard Oil <br />Co., the 7th sentence should read "...of the canopy that will not extend <br />beyond the pump locations, seconded by L. Horvath, and unanimously ap- <br />proved. <br />Chairman Remmel announced that member Thomas Restifo has resigned as of <br />December 29, 1983. L. Horvath moved to accept the resignation, seconded <br />by R. Bugala, and unanimously approved. <br />Regarding the request for a ruling by Great Northern Properties, originally <br />-'scheduled for the December 7th meeting, Mr. Remmel advised the Board that <br />the appellant is again req_uesting that the item be further continued. E. <br />Graves moved to cbntinue the Great Northern Properties request until the <br />next-meeting in February, seconded by R. Bugala, and unanimously approved. <br />Election of Officers: <br />L. Horvath moved to nominate C. Remmel as chairman, seconded by E. Graves. <br />L. Horvath moved that the nominations be closed, seconded by E. Graves. <br />Roll call on motion: Horvath, Graves, and Bugala, Aye. Mr. Remmel ab- <br />stained. Mr. Remmel is chairman for 1984. <br />R. Bugala moved to nominate E.
