Chairman Remmel called all interested parties before'the Board. The oath was administered to G. Avery, Attorney, and G. Roth of Chuck E. Cheese. Mr. Avery explained that there was a hardship since Chuck E. Cheese had leased both stores with-the expectation of expanding their own operation. Now however, due to the economy, they must lease the additional space. There is no signage remaining for that store unit. Ae pointed out that the empty unit is not-producing tax dollars. He also displayed pictures to illustrate that other signage in the area overpowered.the Chuck E. Cheese sign and the building is obscured by adjacent buildings. The Board had granted the Chuck E. Cheese Pole sign a variance when it was installed on the pole with the Cunningham sign (now Gray Drugs). Forest City.will not lease the building without the pole.sign. The Board suggested that Chuck E. Cheese and Grays try to work out an agreement on a combined conforming sign. Mr. Gundy advised that they could put up a 40 sq. ft. ground sign, with a var- iance for total sign area. Mr. Avery requested to withdraw his re- quest for the variance for the pole sign and agreed to amend his re- quest for the facia sign for a 75 sq. ft. variance. C. Remmel moved to grant a 75 sq. ft. variance for a facia sign only, seconded by T. Restifo. Roll call on motion: Remmel, Restifo, and Horvath, Ayee. Graves, Nay. Motion_passed. Variance granted. .
